The BE Conference is a once-a-year learning opportunity for Bentley users and their managers offering professional training, technology updates, keynotes, and best practice sharing. At these sessions, attendees better themselves, better their organizations, and better the ways they can improve the world's infrastructure.
This year's conference program offers over 350 information-rich sessions, over 100 best practice sessions, conference tracks tailored for the industries of attendees, the BE Awards of Excellence gala evening, expanded networking opportunities, and much more.
Management guru and civil engineer Tom Peters kicks off the BE Conference 2005 agenda with a look at how AEC can benefit from creating what he calls "WOW! Projects." According to Peters, WOW! Projects move at record speed and create a buzz in organizations.
