CM 2025
Tuesday 9 to Thursday 11 September 2025 Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC), UK
| About the International Conference |
The British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT) was pleased to invite delegates to this premier event, the 21st International Conference on Condition Monitoring and Asset Management (CM 2025), which was co-located with the 62nd Annual British Conference on NDT (NDT 2025).
The conference is being organised by BINDT in close partnership with the International Society for Condition Monitoring (ISCM) and the US Society for Machinery Failure Prevention Technology (MFPT). This combination of the efforts of these leading organisations creates one of the largest events of its kind at a truly international level and builds on the highly successful 20 international condition monitoring (CM) conferences organised by BINDT, the First World Congress on CM in 2017 organised by BINDT and ISCM and 73 annual conferences organised by the MFPT Society.
BINDT has always recognised the importance of encouraging students to participate in this major international event. As a gesture to celebrate the 21st international conference, the Institute provided sponsorship of student registrations in 2025, resulting in a reduction of fees for student attendance.
| Showcase Day |
BINDT also hosted a ‘Showcase Day’ on the last day, Thursday 11 September, focusing on NDT, CM and SHM future technologies.
The Showcase Day provided ample time for visitors to go around all exhibits with demonstrations and plenary talks explaining the techniques of the future for NDT, CM and SHM.
