If you have favorite topics/challenges which you do not see listed above, please reply with your suggestions. GLACOe is dedicated to enriching your success in PLM with free training, industry updates, and technical advice - but we need your input/participation to stay on target. Please also share this invitation with your co-workers or CATIA-focused friends.
Special thanks to our business partner meeting sponsors, ANXeBusiness, who will also provide valuable door prizes for some lucky attendees. We are also grateful to your GLACOe board members, whose teamwork & dedication make these meetings (and content) possible.
Additional membership updates since our last meeting (July):
> Website update: we've filed a dispute request with ICAN regarding our 'glacoe.org' domain registrant control (currently locked by our previous web host provider). Temporary GLACOe weblink still available at: http://www.coe.org/tabid/532/Default.aspx (or www.coe.org > collaboration > user groups)
> GLACOE Meeting Minutes: we're grateful to Barbara Sergus who has graciously provided meeting minutes as GLACOe Board Secretary for many years. However, she must take a leave of absence (hopefully brief) and we will need a volunteer from our membership to fulfill these duties in the short term. Please let me know if you are interested.
> Location update: per your request, we have pursued returning to our long-term location - OCC Auburn Hills - but still have not received adequate details from the college regarding availability of T1 auditorium (or equivalent). Will continue to pursue for next meeting.
Thanks again for sharing this invitation with your peers/friends in the industry. Look forward to seeing you (at the Hilton Troy) on the 16th!
Best Regards,
Paul Silver
GLACOe President
