| A Word from the Chair
Show Your Stuff at the Conference |
Now that the preliminary agenda is set and our key note speaker has been announced, it's time for you to start thinking about YOUR presentations. If you would like to present a technical paper, introduce a new application of our technologies or provide some hands-on training, please email me with your name, presentation title and abstract for review. We need everyone's help -- especially if you have improvements and best practices that would benefit others. Remember what makes this organization so great is that we are For Users, By Users. I look forward to hearing from you and reviewing your abstracts! Brian Bauman, DSM Somos & 2009 3DSUG Chairperson |
