MSC Software VPD 2007


Agenda

Our 2007 Conference will address the technologies and processes of virtual product development (VPD), providing a consolidated review of the simulation environments available today, and a perspective of trends and developments over the next 12 months. Our aim is to celebrate the best in VPD process management, industrial applications, and design innovation from the MSC community. To that end, we have developed an agenda that mixes keynote presentations from MSC executives and key industry leaders, customer technical presentations from multiple industries, and MSC engineering products and simulation solutions breakout sessions, along with many opportunities to network with your peers and MSC employees.
