A series of “power speeches” by 3D thought leaders along with hands-on training and a host of break-out workshops are sure to spark ideas and insight for attendees at the FARO 3D Documentation Conference. Taking place at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando, Fla., Feb. 21-22, 2012, the event marks the first time the company has held the event in the U.S. Speakers on the agenda include Gonzalo Martinez, director of strategy research for Autodesk; Abe Reichental, CEO of 3D Systems; Marc Soucy, CEO of Innovmetric; Tom Kurke, COO of Geomagic; Michael Raphael: CEO of Direct Dimensions; Paul Tice, visualization specialist, i-TEN Associates; and others. “Our guest speakers will give attendees an insider’s look into the future of 3D documentation,” says Greg Richards, event organizer. “We’re also really excited about the hands-on training classes. We’ve assembled a number of respected experts who use laser scanning every day in a variety of different markets. The experience will give attendees real knowledge that they can take back home with them, so they can become better and more efficient in their laser scanning work.”
