Around 130 delegates have attended a conference tailormade for businesses, industries and organisations seeking to extract the maximum performance and value from their assets.

Conference Chair Gopinath Chattopadhyay says the Conference on Asset and Maintenance Management 2011 held at CQUniversity Gladstone in mid-March was a major success as it showcased some of the latest developments in this field.

There's a distinctive Bull to Bull race trophy sitting on a desk in Oregon. Its proud owner is Associate Professor Stewart Trost who won the prize as a teenage athletics champion in the beef capital around three decades ago.

The celebration is always a special event and this year's 'thank you' speech was no exception.
