    user organizations. It offers:

    -- Keynotes by Bentley executives on future technology and
    business trends;

    -- Hundreds of courses and thousands of hours of accredited
    learning;

    -- Best practices sessions from experienced peers and technology
    experts;

    -- Hundreds of technology updates across all industries and
    disciplines;

    -- An exhibition featuring the latest products and services to
    help support infrastructure projects;

    -- A variety of networking opportunities, including the BE Awards
    of Excellence, the most prestigious awards program dedicated
    to infrastructure design and management;

    -- The first BE Executive Symposium - a thought leadership event
    that brings together executives and researchers to discuss the
    challenges of global infrastructure.

    "Once again, it's time for learning - on a scale unequaled by any
    other single learning event in the infrastructure community," said
    Maureen Pomeroy, director, Bentley Institute. "Our BE Conference 2007
    program features comprehensive, discipline-specific, professional
    training for Bentley users in the building, plant, civil, and
    geospatial verticals of the architecture, engineering, construction,
    and operations market. Bentley Institute will provide more than 600
    courses representing close to 1500 learning units of training to help
    attendees stay current on technology and best practices and advance
    their careers."

    Continued Pomeroy, "Equally important, attendees can carry back
    this valuable learning to their organizations to increase
    productivity, enhance project quality, maximize the return on their
    investments in software, and help them become more globally
    competitive. Indeed, BE is a value-packed learning event."

    BE Executive Symposium

    The BE Executive Symposium is an invitation-only event that
    connects industry executives with researchers to discuss and address
    key challenges to improving the world's infrastructure. The inaugural
