COE Insta-Poll Results and Next Topic

We want your feedback. Every month we will be asking you a different question on topics concerning your Dassault Systemes software installation, your experiences, or to help us improve COE member benefits. Next month we'll provide the results to our November poll and introduce a new question.

Results of the October poll:

What industry are you affiliated with?

Please be sure to provide your input on our November poll: The COE Spring Conference offers many Education and Training opportunities. How important is this to you in your decision whether to attend the Conference?

Users Gather for First-Ever COE Industry Workshops

450 attendees gathered for COE Your Way 2004 Industry Workshop - Aerospace, September 27-28 in Wichita, Kansas, and almost 400 came to COE Your Way 2004 Industry Workshop - Automotive, October 4-5 in Dearborn, Michigan. These brand-new workshops offered targeted education, training, and networking focused on Dassault Systemes' users in their specific industry. In addition, vendors displayed their products and services at the sold-out SolutionsFair and the Monday Night Reception, sponsored by INCAT.

Attendees were impressed by the hands-on training, customer case stories, design challenges, and featured speaker presentations by industry leaders that both events had to offer. For a more detailed look at the sessions, proceedings for the Aerospace event and proceedings for the Automotive event are currently available to all attendees of the workshops.

In addition to INCAT’s Monday Night Reception sponsorships, COE thanks MSC Software for its Platinum Sponsorship of the Industry Workshop—Aerospace and its Gold Sponsorship of the Industry Workshop—Automotive, and Zuken for its Silver Sponsorship at both events. Finally, thanks go out to Virtual Services, Inc. for its Silver Sponsorship at the Industry Workshop—Automotive and for sponsoring an exciting car giveaway at the event as well, and congratulations go out to Marvin Hintzman of ASC, Inc. for winning the Toyota Scion!

These two workshops were a great success, and a large share of this achievement is due to the presentations given. As these conferences are now complete, COE turns to the 2005 Annual PLM Conference, and users again are invited to share their ideas and experiences with fellow Dassault Systemes and IBM users.
