LOVELAND, Colo., February 3, 2014 – Longview Advisors, organizers of the annual 3D Collaboration & Interoperability Congress (3DCIC), today announced its second call for speakers for the 2014 event to be held May 28-30 at the Cheyenne Mountain Conference Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. 3DCIC ( www.3DCIC.com) is dedicated to fostering and improving collaboration and interoperability throughout the product lifecycle.

The theme of 3DCIC 2014 is “Driving Product Development with Collaboration, Simulation, and Integration”. Executives have long understood that seamless integration of design, analysis/simulation, manufacturing, downstream operations and the supply chain is the key to effective global business. It’s the very foundation of the PLM vision. Making this work requires highly trained people, sharing information in efficient processes, supported by world-class technology. This will be a focus area of 3D CIC this year, especially between design-analysis/simulation and design-manufacturing.

Conference organizers are looking for presentations from product designers, engineers, IT professionals or supply chain/downstream experts which focus on strategies, trade-offs and/or implementation case stories of real-world solutions in the following areas:

• Seamless integration of design, analysis/simulation, manufacturing, downstream operations and the supply chain
• Building collaborative PLM into the global supply chain, including such topics as change order management, intellectual property security and management
• Leveraging social media within companies and with suppliers
• Design-analysis/simulation or design-manufacturing collaboration and interoperability
• PLM migration and legacy data management
• New technology for improving collaboration & interoperability and implementation

Conference organizers are pleased to announce that NAFEMS (the International Association of the Engineering Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Community – www.nafems.org) is holding their biennial American conference at 3DCIC 2014. In addition, the PDES Board of Directors will again hold their annual meeting at 3DCIC and the 3D PDF consortium will be joining again for its third annual meeting.

Anyone interested in speaking at the event should email speaker name, title and role, and a few sentences description of the proposed presentation topic to David Prawel at Longview Advisors ( Email Contact) by February 15, 2014.

Presentations and audio from past events are freely available at the congress website www.3DCIC.com, along with comments from past attendees, and a list of past attendees.
