Registration Now Open for 'Be Together: The Be Communities LIVE Conference,' Being Held May 17-20, 2010, in
Philadelphia
EXTON, Pa., Mar. 3 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Event Focuses on Helping Infrastructure Professionals Move Up to
Information-Modeling Level of Practice; Early Bird Discount Is Available
Through March 31
Bentley Systems, Incorporated, the leading company dedicated to providing
comprehensive software solutions for the infrastructure that sustains our
world, today announced that registration is now open at
Communities LIVE Conference, being held May 17-20, 2010, at the Pennsylvania
Convention Center in Philadelphia. This innovative event will enable the
architects, engineers, constructors, geospatial professionals, and CAD managers
who regularly exchange ideas virtually on the Be Communities professional
networking site to connect, communicate, and learn from each other in person.
At the same time, guided by Bentley product experts, attendees will acquire
knowledge critical to the adoption of an information-modeling level of practice
as they earn Bentley Institute Learning Units to track time invested in
professional development.
"Be Together is a marked departure from the Be Conferences of previous
years," said Keith Bentley, founder and CTO of Bentley, and Be Communities
champion. "Its format and content were driven by the members of our Be
Communities website and Be User Groups. So attendees can look forward to a
hands-on, product-oriented experience focused on helping practitioners get
their jobs done faster and with better results. It's the ideal event for those
who like to roll up their sleeves and dig into information modeling technology."
Throughout the week, attendees will benefit from:
- Interactive product tours and overviews of Bentley's product roadmaps,
- Explorations of software tips, tricks, and techniques,
- Hands-on workshops and product test drives,
- Clinics that help them resolve current project modeling challenges,
- Peer presentations of case studies featuring innovations in software
use,
- Roundtable and panel discussions on today's hottest technology issues.
Those registering for the conference by March 31 will receive an early bird
discount of $200 off the $795 conference fee.
Ed Mueller, Bentley chief marketing officer, said, "Our interactive
conference gives all those practitioners who regularly share information
virtually on Be Communities a unique opportunity to 'press the flesh' as they
gather for a 'live' exchange of ideas. Over the course of a few days, attendees
will gain valuable knowledge and insight that will help them adopt world-class
information modeling practices - to advance the value of their work and open
the door to new career-enhancing project opportunities."
The Be Together Conference encompasses the following areas of interest to
the infrastructure community:
- Roads and Bridges
- Structural
- Water
- Geospatial
- Utilities and Communications
- Building
- Plant
- Applied Research
- MicroStation and ProjectWise
The Be Communities LIVE Zone
At the Be Together Conference, the traditional exhibit hall will be
replaced with the Be Communities LIVE Zone - an interactive experience that
brings people and technology together in a series of dynamic zones. Top
hardware, software, and other experts from Bentley partner organizations will
be colocated with teams of Bentley product and professional services
specialists to demonstrate - in hands-on sessions - the combined value of
Bentley, Bentley channel partner, Bentley technology partner, and third-party
developer offerings for visualization, collaboration, modeling, plotting, point
clouds, and much more.
