PLM User ForumWe now have dates for the PLM User Forum that allow a European and a North American meeting to take place in consecutive weeks. European Forum
Compact and Focused These workshops, which aim to give PLM managers a constructive platform to work together on their main constraints and issues, differ from the long-established user meetings of the vendor communities in their size (tens rather than hundreds of people) and their format (group working rather than presentations). The purpose is for you to work together with other experienced PLM users for a concentrated 2-day period, with the PLMIG writing up the results for you so you can take them away and use them. Neutral The fact that these events are neutral is very important. It allows participants to share experiences and methods from a user viewpoint, with no distractions. Wider Context These are self-standing events (though they will be linked, so participants in Europe will receive the results from the USA, and vice versa). What happens afterwards remains to be seen. People may find that other formats are more useful, so there are no more Forum meetings; perhaps a different set of user managers ask to have a Forum, so a series develops; the first set of participants decide they would like to keep working together, so they meet next year for a second time; or successive meetings might define the parameters and methods of what it means to be a PLM prime mover, and a new body of knowledge is generated. |
