Why Exhibit? 
The BE Conference 2008 exhibit hall will have a new dynamic this year. The exhibit floor will provide attendees with a learning and casual networking environment that will enable them to meet, collaborate with, and learn from the Solutions Area experts AND the key companies that drive, extend, and provide value to Bentley’s software.

• Through this opportunity to meet with these decision makers and senior practitioners, you will be able to introduce your products that extend their investment in Bentley’s solutions and make them even more compelling.  
• As an exhibitor or sponsor, you will have a quality reach to these top decision makers.
• There are options in the exhibit hall layout that will allow you to align your company with the infrastructure asset areas (communities) that users’ businesses are built on.  This will help you target the users who need your solutions. 
• We will be making the content of BE Conference 2008 available online, so in addition to your physical presence at BE Conference, you will have a virtual presence online for 12 months to continue to promote your logo and solutions.
  

Exhibit forms, benefits packages, pricing, and a la carte options are coming soon and will be posted to this site.
