PLM User Forum

The PLMIG will run two PLM User Forum events, in Europe and the USA, during November 2008.  These independent, neutral 2-day workshops are for PLM user participants to share views, experiences, and methodologies with each other.

• 13-14 November, Reading, UK

• 18-19 November, Cleveland, OH

This means that the two meetings will build on each other.  They will share a common format, and participants in either meeting will receive the results of both.  The combined results should be available by mid-December.

They will follow the normal PLMIG format, which means that there will be no screens, no exhibitions, and no sales presentations.  They are pure interaction time, and include a written Summary Document of the proceedings after the event.  The aim is to deliver a common view of how to approach and implement PLM.

Format

After an hour or so of lead-in by the PLMIG, the rest of the sessions are all delegate working time.  The format allows you to present your views about PLM to the group for discussion, and to build a working template of ideas to take back for use within your own implementation.
