A Look Back at
Dimensions 2007
Trimble opened its
Dimensions 2007 with more than 2,500 registered attendees from over 50 countries
around the world. According to attendees, Trimble Dimensions provided them
significant value:
"I
consider Dimensions the best training opportunity available. Trimble's
commitment to having the people who "build" the products available is invaluable
to me as a user. The presentations are fantastic; it's great to listen to those
who are using the products to their limit. Networking with Trimble employees is
very valuable to me and client networking opportunities are
plentiful."Tom
Ruby, PLS, GPS Survey Manager,
J-U-B
ENGINEERS, Inc., U.S.
"Trimble did an amazing
job with the Dimensions conference. We were impressed with the event's
international scope, both in the attendees and the unique technical
presentations from around the world. It was well worth our time and
investment."
Prof. Gao Zhendong and
Dr. Lou of Wuhan University, China
"Trimble Dimensions 2007
was a successful and well-organized event. The range of topics was broad and
covered all survey applications. Partners Pavilion exhibits provided information
about the latest technological developments in equipment and applications and
showed where the "future of survey" is heading. I made many new contacts and
have maintained them since the conference. I would definitely attend
again!"
Juergen Weber, Managing
Partner, IU Plan GmbHConsulting Engineers, Germany
"Dimensions was
extremely informative, particularly in the areas of software development,
hardware development and the Connected Site. Leighton Contractors is a major
user of Trimble products and it was great to see that Trimble is moving towards
the future with survey and construction-based software and hardware. I will
certainly be recommending to anyone using Trimble products that they attend the
next Dimensions in 2009."
Brad Chambers, Acting
Survey Manager,Leighton Contractors PTY LTD, Australia
"Trimble Dimensions is
the one conference I look forward to each year. I learn more than at any other
conference. This past year I appreciated the increased focus on mapping and GIS,
which benefits those of us who utilize both surveying and MGIS
solutions."
