Highlights from the 2005 Event
Survey results from the 2005 event held in San Diego, California on May 18 - 20, 2005 were overwhelmingly positive, with 96% of respondents expressing satisfaction with the experience. With over 300 participants from industry and government, the Symposium once again provided an excellent opportunity to learn from experienced reliability practitioners and to establish networking relationships with colleagues in the field.

The 2005 Symposium featured a keynote address by Vice Admiral Scott Fry, U.S. Navy (Retired) and 26 presentations and tutorials covering topics ranging from FMEA and accelerated testing to field testing and warranty analysis.
