Founded by Terrence O’Hanlon, Reliabilityweb is best known for convening the reliability and maintenance community through flagship events, including the International Maintenance Conference, The RELIABILITY Conference, and MaximoWorld, alongside professional training and certification programs such as Certified Reliability Leader (CRL) and Certified Maintenance Manager (CMM).

After 27 years of building Reliabilityweb as a trusted home for the global reliability and asset management community, this moment is deeply personal for me. I feel genuinely grateful and incredibly fortunate to see the brand enter its next chapter. This partnership safeguards the endurance of something built on purpose, relationships, and trust. Maura Abad and I are honored to continue our work—still serving the community we love, now with renewed strength and an expanded future ahead.
