OilDoc Conference and Exhibition
Lubrication – Maintenance – Tribology
The International OilDoc Conference and Exhibition is the trend-setting event in the heart of Europe for lubrication, maintenance and tribology.
It attracts experienced engineers, researchers, application experts and acknowledged scientists. The three-day event offers a high quality program with three session tracks, a first class speaker line-up, a lot of international networking opportunities and a major international exhibition additional to the conference.
From 2011 on the OilDoc Conference and Exhibition will be held in Germany, where it is being hosted in the city of Rosenheim only 50 km from the inner city of Munich. The bi-annual event is organised by OilDoc, the leading European center of excellence for education programs in the fields of lubrication, oil analysis and tribology.
A comprehensive range of presentations provides knowledge and insight into the latest developments with special emphasis on the following topics:
