You’d never run your plant or fleet without used oil analysis—so why not your personal vehicle? This keynote explores how the same tools and techniques you rely on professionally can deliver real value for your car or truck. Learn how applying oil analysis outside of work can lead to smarter, data-driven decisions, reduce costs, and prevent unexpected issues. It’s a practical, even fun, way to bring your expertise home—and maybe impress your friends with what you know before the check engine light ever comes on.

With new technologies flooding the reliability space, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed—or worse, invest in solutions that overpromise and underdeliver. While some innovations drive real improvements, others are just hype. This session cuts through the noise, highlighting the latest reliability-centered technologies, identifying those worth piloting, and calling out the ones that still need to prove their value. Attendees will walk away with a clear methodology for assessing, testing, and integrating new tech to ensure they’re investing in solutions that truly enhance reliability, not just chasing the next big thing.

Winston Mok, Founder, Woosh Air

Big ideas don’t always start in boardrooms, they often begin with frustration, curiosity, and duct tape. In this keynote, former Google Product Manager and Shark Tank entrepreneur Winston Mok shares how a simple idea to improve air filters sparked a smart tech solution that’s now helping businesses improve reliability, save energy, and prevent costly equipment failures. You’ll leave inspired to look at everyday problems differently and maybe even start building your next big idea in the garage.
