3rd Annual Global STO & Maintenance Summit 2026
22–24 April 2026 | Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Europe’s Premier Platform for STO, Turnaround, Shutdown, Reliability & Maintenance Leaders
The 3rd Annual Global STO & Maintenance Summit, taking place from 22–24 April 2026 in Amsterdam, brings together senior executives, turnaround directors, maintenance leaders, asset‑management specialists, and key stakeholders from Europe’s energy, petrochemical, industrial, and manufacturing sectors. This year’s edition focuses on the rapidly evolving landscape of STO execution, digital maintenance, asset reliability, and operational excellence, offering a strategic platform for high‑level dialogue, innovation, and best‑practice exchange.
Insightful Sessions Led by Industry Experts
The program features keynote presentations, expert panels, and real‑world case studies addressing the most pressing challenges in STO and maintenance management.
Topics include digital transformation, risk mitigation, contractor management, cost optimization, asset‑integrity strategies, predictive maintenance, and the future of STO execution in Europe.
Participants gain practical, actionable insights that can be applied immediately within their organizations.
Exclusive Networking With High‑Level Decision‑Makers
Designed as an intimate, high‑quality networking environment, the summit limits participation to ensure meaningful engagement. Attendees connect directly with C‑suite leaders, asset owners, STO directors, maintenance managers, technology innovators, and solution providers. This curated format enables deeper conversations, stronger relationship‑building, and genuine business development opportunities that are often impossible in large‑scale conferences.
With Europe accelerating investments in energy transition, industrial modernization, asset‑integrity upgrades, and sustainability initiatives, the summit provides a unique window into upcoming opportunities. Attendees gain early visibility into regional priorities, regulatory trends, and major STO and maintenance developments across the continent.
Leadership Workshops and Collaborative Group Work Sessions
The summit features immersive leadership workshops and interactive group work sessions designed by the OPEX Advisory Board to strengthen the capabilities of STO and maintenance professionals at every level. These sessions focus on real‑world operational challenges, strategic decision‑making, and cross‑functional collaboration, enabling participants to sharpen their leadership skills in a practical, hands‑on environment.
Through facilitated discussions, scenario‑based exercises, and peer‑to‑peer learning, attendees gain new perspectives on STO execution, stakeholder management, team alignment, and performance optimization. The collaborative format encourages open dialogue, shared problem‑solving, and the exchange of best practices, creating a dynamic learning experience that supports both personal development and organizational growth.
