“From Certification to Transformation: Real Stories of Reliability Leadership” is the central theme of this virtual meeting, exclusively for Certified Reliability Leaders and organized by the Association of Asset Management Professionals (AMP).
How has your career progressed since you obtained your Certified Reliability® Leader certification? What positive impact have you had on your organization since becoming certified? The Association of Asset Management Professionals (AMP) has opened registration for the third edition of CRL Reconnect 2026, an exclusive technical meeting for our community of Certified® Reliability Leaders to share all the changes and transformations that this certification brings to the global asset management scene. The event will take place on May 7, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. ET.
This year’s theme, “From Certification to Transformation: Real Stories of Reliability Leadership”, directly addresses the high-profile changes and transformations that AMP’s CRL certifications have brought to thousands of companies around the world, as well as the success stories that thousands of professionals with this certification can showcase. In 2026, we will be talking about how theory has become practice and the dividends that have resulted.
The Association of Asset Management Professionals (AMP) held this event for the first time in 2024, to great acclaim among the Certified Reliability Leaders community. In 2025, we repeated the experience, reconnecting hundreds of professionals around the world to update knowledge, trend alerts, and new resources and certifications aimed at raising the professional quality of businesses and services related to Industrial Reliability and Asset Management. In 2026, we delved into key business issues, strengthened ties with our community, and provided a high-level opportunity to share with renowned panelists, discuss the latest technologies, and learn about what’s new at AMP for all its members.
Do you have success stories to share? Do you want to stay up to date with the latest in our industry and reconnect with your peers? Don’t miss this exciting event! Here are some reasons why you should participate.

Life After CRL: What the Experts Say
What kind of changes does obtaining CRL certification bring? Part of the CRL Reconnect 2026 offering is to share the after-effects of certification and understand why certification can be a condition of employment for business leaders.
At this event, Jim Carrel, CRL-BB, ISO Cat. III, and Chief Operating Officer at Forum Reliability, will give a presentation entitled “Life After CRL” to share information about the opportunities available beyond CRL certification. What are the next steps after becoming certified? What opportunities does the job market offer? How does an employee’s perceived value change after CRL certification? These and other questions will be addressed by Carrel, who has previously advocated certification not only as an educational step, but as a tool that provides sufficient training to be able to act appropriately in the complex ecosystem of industrial plants, complex organizations, and teams with high levels of responsibility.
Secure your spot today and take advantage of this new opportunity to expand your knowledge, acquire exclusive and valuable information, and reconnect with the CRL community. We look forward to seeing you there!
About Terrence O'Hanlon:
Terrence O’Hanlon is a globally recognized leader in reliability and asset management, and the creator of Uptime® Elements — A Reliability Framework and Asset Management System™, the most implemented reliability and asset management framework in the world. As CEO of the Reliability Leadership Institute LLC, Terrence leads the organization responsible for stewarding Uptime Elements and its growing ecosystem — including a library of over 100 significant books in maintenance, reliability, and asset management, and Uptime Elements GPS, a globally recognized organizational assessment system.
The Institute licenses Uptime Elements to the Association of Asset Management Professionals (AMP), which uses the framework as the foundation for certification exams, black belt projects, and knowledge badges — creating a credentialing ecosystem that continues to raise the global standard for the profession. With Uptime Elements now implemented at more than 6,000 locations worldwide, supported by over 4,000 Certified Reliability Leaders®, Terrence is focused on something few industry leaders dare to articulate: a 100-year plan to cement the framework’s continued impact and ensure its mission — making the world work for everyone, with no one left behind — endures for generations.
At the end of 2025, Terrence completed the sale of his conference and training business — including the Reliabilityweb.com® brand and its deep web presence, long recognized as the world’s most comprehensive resource for reliability and asset management — to The Nineteen Group, a UK-based events company committed to significant investment and growth across the Americas and internationally. Terrence continues as a reliability leader within that relationship, maintaining key industry partnerships, expanding revenue opportunities, and shaping thought leadership-centered conferences that advance the profession globally. The transition has opened an exciting new chapter defined by scale, collaboration, and shared vision.
Building on three decades at the forefront of the profession, Terrence is now leading Reliability.ai™ — a human-centered AI brand and product line featuring smart AI applications, AI skills, AI coworkers, and AI agents purpose-built for reliability and asset management. Grounded in the deep body of knowledge he has built and led over thirty years, Reliability.ai represents a new frontier: bringing the world’s most trusted reliability framework into the age of intelligent systems, designed to extend human capability rather than replace it. A longtime publishing entrepreneur, the founding of the Reliability Leadership Institute marks a return to Terrence’s roots — bringing together intellectual property, knowledge assets, and a licensing strategy built not for the next quarter, but for the next century.
