Users Gain Education that Puts Them Ahead of the Curve at COE Fall 2002

September 28 - October 2, 2002
Tampa, Florida

Nearly 1,000 users, Dassault Systemes and IBM-PLM representatives, and third-party vendor representatives gathered in Tampa, Florida for the COE Fall 2002 Conference & TechniFair - the largest international event dedicated to the CATIA®, ENOVIA^TM, DELMIA^TM, and SMARTEAM^TM user community. The focus of the event was to bring users "ahead of the curve" and attendees divided their time between the many professional enrichment opportunities to help put them there, including networking events, exciting keynotes, nearly 200 technical and training sessions, and the wall-to-wall solutions of the TechniFair. Read more about the event in the full wrap-up report, which includes a comprehensive photo gallery of event highlights caught on camera!
