SPAR 3D Expo & Conference 2017 Underway
Event Focused on 3D Sensing, 3D Processing & 3D Visualization Starts Monday April 3rd in Houston
April 3, 2017 (Houston, Texas) – SPAR 3D Expo & Conference 2017 got underway today at The Marriott Marquis, Houston, Texas. The event kicked off with vendor product previews, and a pre-conference workshop, “How to Plan for the 2022 National Geodetic Survey (NGS) Datum change,” followed by opening remarks and keynotes, industry specific breakout sessions, and Welcome Happy Hour. The event continues through Wednesday, April 5.
The event boasts over 100 booths of best-in-class 3D sensing, 3D processing and 3D visualization tools from leading vendors around the world; a robust conference program with 100+ practical, engaging presentations from industry experts, designed to help attendees increase efficiency, save time and money, mitigate risk and improve safety; and hundreds of top attending companies using these tools.
SPAR 3D Expo & Conference is the only vendor-neutral, cross-industry, 3D event in the market, bringing together the top hardware, software and visualization solutions providers together with users from across the globe for three action-packed days of education, exhibits and live demonstrations, providing attendees the latest information and advancements in 3D technology. “Vendor-neutrality is invaluable as it allows attendees to get a side-by-side comparison of the latest products and solutions to meet their specific needs,” said Lisa Murray, Event Director. “We aim to enhance attendees understanding of how these products work, what they can do, and how they can solve problems by providing hands-on learning opportunities of these complex tools.”
Running alongside the conference program is an exhibition showcasing solutions from leading 3D sensing, 3D processing, and 3D visualization solutions providers. Market leaders Autodesk, Bentley Systems, ClearEdge, FARO, Leica Geosystems, Mantis Vision, Matterport, NCTech SA, Orbit GT, Pix4D, Topcon, and Trimble are among the exhibiting companies.
In addition to the extensive conference programming, SPAR 3D Expo & Conference 2017 features:
