October SW Asset Reliability and Maintenance (SWARM) Forum

SW Asset Reliability and Maintenance (SWARM) Forum

Come and join us for the biannual SWARM Forum being held on Thursday, 15 October 2026 at The Rose Hotel, Bunbury.

The SWARM Forum brings together professionals working in asset reliability, maintenance and production across the South West to explore emerging technologies, discuss best practices, and share insights on common challenges. It’s also a valuable opportunity to connect and network with peers from a wide range of industry sectors.

The Bunbury Geographe Economic Alliance (BGEA) is proud to facilitate this ongoing forum, now a regular event on the regional maintenance calendar.

The program will feature a series of short presentations, followed by a Q&A session and informal networking. Finger food will be provided, and drinks will be available for purchase from the bar.
