The Bentley Plant User Group held its annual conference September 17-19, 2008 at the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi. The conference was both valuable and fun.
Attendees benefitted from:
- Networking opportunities to share ideas with fellow Bentley Plant users.
- Sharing of information about how other companies have used the software. Discussion of customization and problem solving issues via participation in one of the group breakout sessions (P&ID, Structural, or 3D Piping).
- Hands-on workshops led by highly qualified Bentley personnel.
- Upcoming Bentley product release information.
- Access to Bentley product development managers (Users created a “wish list” of desired features in future releases, helping to shape the direction of the product!).
- A beautiful beachside location at a premier resort.
- The annual golf tournament.
