<\/span>\ufeff<\/P><\/p>\nDuring our summary meeting with conference attendees, we asked how they liked the real hands-on workshops and they responded that they loved it. Attendees asked for even harder work for next year. We were somehow afraid that most of the participants would sit there and say something like, \u201cWe are not in school here anymore. What do you think who we are? We have studied and now you treat us like pupils?\u201d But, instead they said the conference is really helpful. The sessions addressed what they need and it is so much better then learning the information by reading.<\/P>
\n
The conference presentation with the highest score was the presentation of Ralph Bauknecht addressing interfaces between Plant Simulation and database. The presentation is titled, \u201cData interfaces – Database, SQLite, ODBC, EXCEL, and XML – bi-directional data exchange.\u201d Eighty persons (standing in 3 lines at the back of the room) participated in a room expected for 46 persons. This popular presentation will be made available in PDF format shortly. But also the other presentations were very well received. We had four parallel sessions so it was quite difficult to decide where to go.<\/P><\/p>\n

<\/span>\ufeff<\/P><\/p>\nThe Siemens Plant Simulation conference app helped customers to read the content summary of presentations and to learn more about who the presenter is and to create your individual schedule. Next year maybe we publish some tasks before to enable customers to prepare \u201chomework\u201d and follow the solution during the session even more closely. Another further development might be that we will have the sessions even longer. This year the slots were one hour.<\/P>
\n
Planning for 2017 is already underway! We will send out a save-the-date notice toward the end of 2016 with the new conference dates.<\/P>
\n
We look forward to seeing you at our next event!<\/P>
\n
With best regards,<\/P>
