Agenda | Courses & Certifications | Conference Highlights
The conference
primarily consists of presentations from other Moldflow users
which often reveal how they use Moldflow to solve some of
their most challenging problems. There will be presentations
from Moldflow product marketing and development managers detailing
the latest features and enhancements available in Moldflow
products, as well as future development directions. Members
from Moldflow's senior management team will also be present
as they regard these events as the most important ones they
participate in for collecting customer feedback. Finally,
there will be opportunities to evaluate best-in-class partner
solutions that can also help increase our productivity.
