Infrastructure is the structural foundation of our world’s civilization. Facing the now-critical imperative of sustainability, infrastructure professionals such as yourself bear a full load, and substantial backlog, of work to be done. At the same time, your numbers are not being sufficiently replenished by new entrants to the profession.

We believe that “working smarter” is the best response to this resource bottleneck. At BE Conference 2008, you can share best practices among peers who are working smarter through pragmatic innovations developed “organically” among Bentley users. That explains our theme:
BEst Practices for Sustaining Infrastructure.

New format for BE Conference
Different from BE Conferences from years before, 2008 will include only minimal lecture-based Learning Path sessions from Bentley Institute – rather than hands-on training.  In response, Bentley is embracing a new commitment to expanding its learning offerings that will increase users’ access to specialized learning content, regardless of their geographic location.

The new $895 conference fee (waived for current SELECT and Enterprise License Subscribers) includes two-and-a-half-days of user-led content, networking, and programs organized around infrastructure categories and related Bentley solutions. Highlights include:

New agenda format - 2008 track sessions consist of projects and
technology in 10 areas

Best practices - gain the insight, vision and information you need through 
user-led content and programs

Community and networking events - meet, network, and exchange ideas with peers 
of the infrastructure community

Platform Technology and Elective Sessions -  don't miss sessions to help you stay current and competitive in today's marketplace

We hope you will join us in May, to network with your peers and hear leaders in your field present their best practices!
