MSC.Software's Virtual Product Development Conference Europe, Middle East, Africa 2006

EMEA Conference Information:
Sep 20 - 21, 2006
Frankfurt am Main, Germany

"Participation in the EMEA VPD Conference 2005 was an ideal opportunity for Bombardier Transportation to remain close to the business and the technical solutions at MSC. They are very important to the practical reality of our enterprise wide design and manufacturing operation. Furthermore I enjoyed the presentations and discussions, which have given guidance for the next steps in our engineering world."

MSC Software's Conferences have gained a reputation as the leading discussion forum for the people, technology, and processes of the Virtual Product Development world landscape, bringing together business and technical top managers and executives, designers, and technologists from a wide range of manufacturing industries and disciplines.

Our 2006 EMEA Conference builds on the successes in Munich of 2004 and 2005, and again forms an integral part of MSC's worldwide Conference programme. The theme of this year's Conference is "The Evolution to Enterprise Simulation": a theme which is driven by our customers and the dynamic market place we are all in. It is finally echoed by our Enterprise vision of delivering integrated solutions to build upon existing product development processes, enable improved coordination, enhance innovation, reduce risk and cost, and address the extended enterprise.

This Conference also marks a defining milestone in the evolution of our solution portfolio. With our new multi-disciplinary core solver, and enterprise versions of our CAD-embedded and VPD Process Management products, 2006 has already seen many of the components of this Enterprise strategy become reality. I am excited to share with you that the 2006 EMEA VPD Conference will be the place of a major announcement: be prepared to experience a completely new, truly integrated, multi-disciplinary enterprise simulation solution!

The 2006 Conference agenda is intended to be thought-provoking and valuable. Our speakers come from some of the most pioneering and successful organisations from across the EMEA region, representing a wide range of Aerospace, Automotive, Manufacturing, and emerging industries. All have been personally invited to share the experiences of their own journeys through the conception, implementation and management of an enterprise simulation environment. MSC.Sotware’s CEO and COO, key executives from our solution development teams will be escorting you for this action-packed journey!
