Rome
OpenSpirit Technical Symposium
Friday, June 13

"This is my first time to the symposium and I did learn a lot. I'm sure I'll attend more in the future. Good Job!" – Software Developer, Houston 2007

Held annually in North America, Europe, and Canada, the OpenSpirit Technical Symposium brings together end users and best-of-breed software vendors for an open-forum information exchange featuring technical information and end-user case studies. Attendees return to their organizations with new ideas about how to leverage OpenSpirit technology within their G&G workflows.

"Just the right mix of vendors vs. client talks. The breaks were great for snatching a few minutes here and there to talk to people at other companies about some of the same things we are all working on. I came out full filled in ideas, thoughts and action items to address when I got back to the office. I see lots of internal discussions to come as well."
– Oil company end user, Houston 2007

The majority of attendees are end users who want to hear how their oil-company colleagues and best-of-breed software vendors are using OpenSpirit to help solve their complicated problems.

The agenda is still being finalized, but you can count on plenty of information about:

• OpenSpirit v3.1
• Application Interoperability
• New Data Store Connectors
• ArcGIS Workflows
• And more!

The afternoon offers presentations from clients and partners who will discuss their OpenSpirit integration experiences. Confirmed presenters to date:

• Landmark
• Perigon Solutions
• StatoilHydro
• Volantice Solutions

We will publish additional companies and topics as more information becomes available.

If you would like to see a presentation from a specific OpenSpirit partner, then let us know!  We’ll do our best to have the partner on hand at this or future meetings.

Your registration includes a social event on the evening of  Thursday, June 12.
