Hexagon 2012 Conference Welcomes 3,000 Attendees

Hexagon commenced its second annual international conference, Hexagon 2012, June 4th, 2012, welcoming more than 3,000 attendees. The conference, held June 4-7 at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, unites user communities from Intergraph, Leica Geosystems, Z/I Imaging, Hexagon Metrology and NovAtel.

Professionals from the geospatial, surveying, power and energy, construction, aerospace and defense, public safety and security, automotive and manufacturing industries, among others, were invited to attend the four-day event. Hexagon 2012 features more than 400 educational breakout sessions, hands-on training courses and visionary keynote presentations. In addition, the international conference includes previews of groundbreaking technologies, interactive technical demonstrations, technology certifications, compelling customer best practices and limitless networking opportunities. The Hexagon 2012 TechPark, which showcases products, solutions and sponsor exhibits, also includes a number of integrated technologies highlighting Hexagon’s synergistic portfolio.

For those who are unable to participate in the conference, Hexagon will stream President and CEO Ola Rollén’s keynote presentation, “Hexagon: Moving Businesses, Industries and the World Forward,” live June 5th. Rollén will speak about Hexagon’s charge to empower customers with actionable information to proactively address tomorrow’s challenges today. He will be joined on stage by Intergraph Process, Power & Marine (PP&M) President Gerhard Sallinger, Intergraph Security, Government & Infrastructure (SG&I) President John Graham, Hexagon Metrology President Norbert Hanke and Hexagon Geosystems President Juergen Dold, who will highlight stories describing how customers have employed Hexagon technologies to positively impact the global trends and changes facing the world. The presentation can be viewed here.

Hexagon 2012 also marks the opening of the Hexagon Online Marketplace, Hexagon’s Internet-based store. The Hexagon Online Marketplace signifies the first ever Hexagon-level, direct-to-customer venture, and provides customers with a simplified method of purchasing select Hexagon products and services. The first phase of the online store includes Leica Geosystems’ GIS Mobile hardware and software; Intergraph PP&M’s Pipe & Pressure Vessel software; and Intergraph SG&I’s ERDAS Imagine products and training and GeoMedia products, all of which are now available for purchase at the marketplace.

“Hexagon and our family of brands have always strived to work more closely with our customers to help meet their industry challenges and needs,” said Rollén. “By uniting our customers and partners from across the globe and also providing them with easy access to our advanced technologies, we continue to provide them with the tools to move our industries and the world forward.”
