      Another successful National Forum on Maintenance -7th year of the international conference, took place. We dare to say that the conference has already firmly established itself among the events of its kind. The following facts prove this statement.

      The dates (this year in the last week of the month – 29 – 30 May, 2007) and place (hotel Patria in the High Tatras at Štrbské Pleso) are being automatically associated with the National Forum on Maintenance conference. The conference was attended by 191 participants, of which 36 from foreign countries, which is a new record that overcame up till now the most successful regional conference Central European Forum on Maintenance held in 2005. This year there was absolutely highest number of participants from Slovakia yet there were a good number of visitors from abroad, especially from the Czech Republic. We missed representatives of EFNMS, but we had one special guest from the South America, Mr. Athayde Ribeiro, executive director of Brazilian Maintenance Society ABRAMAN.

      The conference programme was composed of presentations starting with general and main conference partners, followed by professional lectures and partners’ presentations in accordance with the topic areas. Conference topics followed a traditional scheme – the first day maintenance management and best practices, followed by maintenance information systems. The second day there were maintenance technologies and diagnostics methods, in the final special topics (safety, education, etc.).

      For the third time on the third day of the conference, accompanying conference events were held - seminar “Internal maintenance audit” led by prof. Václav Legát and ing. Zdeněk Votava from the Czech Maintenance Society and workshop „Maintenance Benchmarking – EN and world trends “, led by Ing. Vendelín Íro and Doc. Juraj Grenčík.

      Totally the conference was attended by 191 participants,of which 36 foreigners – 23 from the Czech republic, 4 from Poland, 3 from Austria and Germany, 1 from Brazil, France and Hungary .

      During the conference for the fourth time SSU award “Maintenainer of the Year “, was awarded - this year the managing director of equipment maintenance in the Slovenské elektrárne, a.s., Ing. Peter Andraško
      For the third time SSU ward for diploma work was awarded, this year the award was divided to two persons - Ing. Lenka Mizeráková,graduate from tha Mechanical Engineering Faculty of TU Košice, for the diploma work solving problems of maintenance audit, and Ing. Anna Fiľková, graduate from Civil Engineering Faculty of TU Košice for diploma work entitled “Operation and maintenance of water supply with respect to the EU legislation“.
      In spite of some problems we can gladly conclude that the conference again overcame the record in the number of participants what proves the growing interest in the conference. From the overall evaluation of the conference (participants’ enquiry) it was so far the best although in some particular points it was worse than before. The problem was a “dense” programme not allowing space for discussion and conference topics as well. The main interest was in practical applications and solutions both in management and technology of maintenance.
