23rd Machines Conference returns in June

Practical solutions for HV engineering and asset management

The 23rd annual Machines & HV Assets 2025 conference delivers practical insights and technical expertise for electrical engineers, reliability and asset managers, and anyone with responsibility for rotating machines or HV assets. This year’s program dives into predictive maintenance, power system modelling, HV safety innovations, and the integration of new technologies such as synchronous condensers, superconductor cables, and AI-driven diagnostics. Attendees will gain actionable strategies for reducing downtime, mitigating failures, and optimising asset performance.  

Join us and engage in expert-led discussions, explore real-world case studies, and collaborate with industry peers. Be part of the conversation shaping the next generation of HV asset management and electrical engineering innovation. 

The legendary Machines Dinner is included in the ticket price—and this year we’re going to Bollywood!!! 

The history of the Machines Conference

Founded in 2002 by the training division of machinemonitor® (Austorque), Machines Conference - now Machines & HV Assets - was established to fill a critical gap in electrical asset reliability and maintenance education.

At the time, professionals managing rotating machines, transformers, and HV assets had limited opportunities to exchange knowledge, adopt emerging technologies, and develop best practices.

Over the past two decades, the conference has grown into Australia’s leading practical event for electrical engineers and asset managers, driving discussions on predictive maintenance, HV safety, and digital asset monitoring.

In 2022, after a Covid hiatus, Machines Conference partnered with Australian Energy Week (AEW) to become a ‘conference within a conference’; replacing AEW’s engineering stream. Now in it’s the third year, with a new name, prestige location and program, Machines Conference has maintained it’s close industry ties and peer-to-peer practical focus.

Today, the 23rd Machines & HV Assets Conference remains at the forefront of industry innovation, technical excellence, and professional development, shaping the future of critical electrical infrastructure management.
