Year-round PLM Support

In collaboration with founding partners Dassault Systèmes and IBM, COE delivers year-round education, hands-on training, access to industry experts, and endless industry-specific resources in a variety of offerings.

COE Annual PLM Conference & TechniFair

In April 2007, more than 1,000 Dassault Systèmes users and industry leaders met in Las Vegas for three days of networking, education and training. This year’s conference featured presentations from top Dassault Systèmes and IBM executives, more than 170 user-focused breakout sessions and hands-on training opportunities, and more than fifty industry-leading vendors related to Dassault Systèmes’ suite of PLM products.

Don’t miss next year’s annual flagship event at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin in Lake Buena Vista, Florida from April 27 – April 30, 2008.

COE Workshops

Directly following the annual conference, COE Hosts the Develop & Deploy workshop, an event focused solely on V5 software development and computing infrastructure deployment/systems support. This event provides a unique opportunity for developers of the Dassault Systèmes suite of products to collaborate and explore solutions to their greatest challenges.

Each fall, COE hosts two distinct workshops dedicated to the automotive and aerospace & defense industries. Both workshops focus on the unique challenges, provide specific training to their respective industries and offer attendee sample opportunities to network with “like” users. Discounted registrations are available for COE members only. This is an exceptional chance to gather for two days of interactive, low cost, industry-focused education, featuring the latest advances, information and training.
