Registration Open for BE Conference Europe


    Bentley Systems, Incorporated today announced that registration is
    open at www.be.org for BE Conference Europe, being held June 10-14 at
    the Hilton London Metropole in the United Kingdom. Those registering
    by May 18 will receive an early bird discount that reduces the
    Learning Program fee by GBP 145 - from GBP 710 to GBP 565.

    The BE Conference, which consistently scores a 99 percent attendee
    satisfaction rating, is a once-a-year learning opportunity for Bentley
    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.

    "Our second BE Conference Europe will be more exciting and offer
    even more learning than our inaugural conference last year in Prague,"
    said Dana Wormer, director, corporate marketing. "The BE Conference
    provides an annual setting for comprehensive, discipline-specific,
    professional training for Bentley users across the spectra of
    architecture, engineering, construction, operations, and geospatial
    data management. In addition, it offers users invaluable networking
    time with their peers, with Bentley product teams, and with technology
    exhibitors."

    Added Wormer, "Best of all, the learning continues well beyond the
    event as attendees share their newly acquired knowledge with other
    members of their organizations. This is why learning at the BE
    Conference translates into more productive organizations that create
    higher quality projects."

    In addition to the many user presentations at BE Conference
    Europe, there will be 350 courses representing close to 600 learning
    units of professional training provided by the Bentley Institute. This
    training will help attendees stay current on technology and best
    practices and, in doing so, also help them advance their careers.

    New Technology Updates

    BE Conference Europe attendees will gain insight into Bentley
    Software's future technologies, including the next release of
    MicroStation and ProjectWise, code-named "Athens." Innovations at the
    platform level will include new conceptual design tools, dynamic views
    that promote efficient and effective design processes using live
    content and live connections, performance enhancements for distributed
    projects that make it easier and faster for the entire team to access
    content, and geo-coordination tools that spatially coalesce content
    from different sources in different formats using different coordinate
    systems.

    Attendees will also be updated on advancements already available:

    -- Innovations by MicroStation - including PDF for architecture,
    engineering, and construction (AEC), CAD standards
    configuration and management, collaboration across teams, and
    the ability to link project information across file formats -
    that deliver significant business advantage to multidiscipline
    teams requiring interoperability, power, and accessibility in
    their software portfolio;

    -- ProjectWise - the scalable collaboration system used for
    connecting people and information across distributed
    enterprises that includes: ProjectWise Navigator, a visual
    collaboration client for project review and analysis;
    ProjectWise StartPoint, which provides entry-level
    collaboration using Microsoft SharePoint; and ProjectWise
    Integration Server, which enables project-wide collaboration
    and content management for distributed teams sharing
    distributed content and includes servers to accelerate content
    access, automate the creation of intelligent, portable
    deliverables, and to facilitate integration with Microsoft
    Office SharePoint;

    -- Building Information Modeling (BIM) solutions - including
    automated design and production processes with Bentley
    Architecture; integrated analysis, design, documentation and
    fabrication of structural systems with Bentley Structural,
    RAM, STAAD, and ProSteel; building services design and
    documentation with Bentley Building Mechanical Systems and
    Bentley Building Electrical Systems; advanced associative
    parametric computational design with the MicroStation
    GenerativeComponents Extension; and effective operational
    management of space and assets with Bentley Facilities;

    -- DigitalPlant solutions - including AutoPLANT XM Edition;

    Power PlantWise, an automatic pipe routing and plant layout
    tool used by EPCs during the initial phases of a project for a
    quick visual of the plant and early cost estimate;

    -- Civil Project Lifecycle - including details on advancing to a
    more complete road lifecycle; leveraging data into
    construction; site development and design technology; roadway
    design technology; surveying; and water resources technology;

    -- Geospatial solutions - including Bentley Map and XML feature
    modeling; cadastral applications via Bentley Cadastre; Bentley
    Geospatial Server; building public Web sites with Bentley Geo
