About the conference
The Institute of Asset Management – India Chapter is proud to present its first All India Conference on Asset Management. This landmark event will bring together leaders, practitioners, policymakers, academia, and international experts to discuss and shape the future of asset management in India. Asset Management has emerged in recent years as a strategic, integrated, long-term, value-driven approach for developing, sustaining and enhancing (infrastructure) assets. The conference will focus on the asset management of Economic Infrastructure, Social Infrastructure, Green Infrastructure, and Digital Infrastructure to deliver socio-economic-environmental outcomes for the country.
Why Asset Management matters for India?

Asset Management provides a structured, systematic approach to managing the life-cycle of assets to maximise business value, improve resilience, and optimise investment, costs, and risks.

Learning objectives are clearly stated using active verbs that indicate how the participants will benefit from the information presented. Content must be relevant to the conference topic, 'Unlocking Value for India' and in line with one of the thematic areas.
- Practical application – Information can be used in day-to-day work settings, lessons learned, how-to-do-it strategies, innovative concepts and approaches, and solutions that provide improvements in asset management by some or most of the expected attendees.
