We believe the
Collaboration and Interoperability Congress provides great value for us at
Northrop Grumman. It hits critical timely issues, and it's vendor/product
neutral, so it gives us an unbiased perspective of current technologies that may
address challenges we deal with every day. And the networking opportunity is
excellent, as a result of the venue, the limited attendance and the high level
of executive attendees. Northrop Grumman has been well represented, and we
intend to continue a strong presence there.

CIC
provides an open forum for constructive discussion of issues. The
non-commercial focus of the event is a significant plus. Attendees in the
spirit of improvement tend to be more open to discuss both positives and
negatives than you would get at a more commercial venue. Real world
experiences are shared, an invaluable resource for CAE managers who would
otherwise have to rely on generally biased commercial benchmarking or conduct
their own industry benchmark exercises. The CIC event allows CAE managers to
network, creating opportunities for assisting each other and sharing
ideas.

"The
CIC'09 clearly drew company leaders looking for solutions to their needs. They
knew where they wanted to go, didn't want a lot of marketing hype and were
willing to share their processes and future goals. The size of the
conference promoted more interaction between people with similar interests and
needs, resulting in truly meaningful contacts and ideas."

"Longview's Conference on Interoperability and Collaboration has earned its place on the
calendar. It’s the place senior management of large design and engineering
organizations go to share best practices and secrets on a major costly problem:
Interoperability. It’s a truly effective forum with an incredibly rich mix of
knowledgeable vendors and extremely savvy customers. I go out of my way to be
there."
