Bentley Systems Inc. has expanded the reach of its annual Bentley LEARNing Conference by transforming it into multiple events hosted in different locations around the globe throughout the year. The individual conferences will be dedicated to software applications for specific architectural, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO) workflows.
In 2014 there will be eight Bentley LEARNing Conferences in seven locations—across the U.S. and in the U.K. and Germany. Each conference delivers to Bentley LEARN subscribers and Enterprise License Subscribers a focused learning experience through hands-on workshops and information-packed lectures—as a benefit of their subscriptions. These sessions will help them take best advantage of their Bentley software in the shortest possible time. In addition, through its Authorized Provider accreditation with the Intl. Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET), Bentley will offer IACET continuing education units for a majority of the sessions, helping users achieve their continuing education goals and advance their careers.
The format of the Bentley LEARNing Conferences is aligned with Bentley’s new Select Open Access “Software at your Service” Quarterly Term Licensing program. Select Open Access provides subscribers unrestricted portfolio-wide access to Bentley’s offerings so that they can utilize a “playlist” of applications comprising the best mix of software for their respective disciplines on a given project. The Bentley LEARNing Conferences give Select Open Access subscribers with Bentley LEARN subscriptions an ideal opportunity to get the tailored learning they need to take full advantage of Bentley’s portfolio to advance both project performance and infrastructure asset performance.
Conference networking opportunities will enable users to connect with industry peers from user groups, special interest groups (SIGs), and/or Be Communities, and to interface with Bentley subject-matter experts, trainers, and executives. Attendees will also be able to receive targeted advice to hone or expand their skill sets and increase their productivity in project workflows.
