Terry Wohlers to Give Manufacturers a Look to the Future

LOVELAND, Colo., November 2, 2009 – Longview Advisors, organizers of the annual 3D Collaboration & Interoperability Congress (CIC), announced today its keynote speaker for the 2010 event (www.3Dcic.com) to be held May 15-18 in Estes Park, Colorado.

Terry Wohlers, renowned industry consultant, speaker and author, will give the keynote address to kick off the sixth annual conference, a two-day event covering current challenges and solutions in product development and design collaboration. 

Wohlers is principal consultant and president of Wohlers Associates, Inc., an independent consulting firm he founded 23 years ago. Through this company, Wohlers has provided consulting assistance to more than 150 organizations in 21 countries. He has authored more than 350 books, articles and technical papers, and has spoken to thousands of engineers, scientists and executives. And he has given 65 keynote presentations on five continents. His presentation will introduce an entirely new way of thinking about how products are conceived, developed and produced, and give a look to the future at some of the technologies he believes will power this new paradigm.

Now in its sixth year, the CIC is the only vendor-neutral conference in the world addressing collaboration and interoperability in CAD, manufacturing and business communications. The two-and-a-half day international event will give attendees a unique opportunity to interact, learn and share experiences with many of the thought leaders from automotive, aerospace, heavy equipment, electronics industries, along with representatives from government and defense communities.

Horst was a session organizer (“CAD Manufacturing Interoperability”) and a panel discussion moderator (“I Want My PMI! But How Do I Use It and Benefit From It?”) at CIC09.  He also served throughout 2008 on the conference advisory board.  Even though CIC09 was held during challenging economic times, severely restricting travel, among other things, the conference attendance numbers were close to those in years past, and it appeared that the appropriateness and experience of attendees and speakers were as good as or better than before.  This is surely in part due to the aptness of David Prawel, Longview Associates, as conference organizer.

If you have problems exchanging and managing engineering data in your supply chain, you should have been at Longview's fifth annual Collaboration and Interoperability conference this month. Representatives of major manufacturers talked about some of the world's toughest data management challenges what they're doing to overcome them.
