Following up on the highly successful CAU Express
2016, Intergraph are once again joining forces with Chempute Software to host
the CAU Express 2017. Intergraph are again sending out a team of product

reviews on some of the upcoming features in future releases of these solutions.
These sessions are all packed into a one-day, high-powered learning experience.
Intergraph CADWorx, CAESAR II and PV Elite product
experts will be assisting Users in expanding their technical knowledge that
will not only leave you well informed, but assist you in improving current
workflows and becoming a better plant designer and engineer, all while
networking and sharing your experience with others. CPD Points will also be
obtained for attending the Caesar II, and PV Elite training sessions.
Each
event will be capped off with product focused Special Interest Groups and an
optional networking cocktail reception dinner.
Why Should
You Attend?
What differentiates CAU Express from similar
industry events, is that Intergraph is staging the event locally in various
countries around the world, and the event provides specific focus on providing
technical information to the end user, rather than a focus on product
marketing. It is the user-centered, interactive hands on approach that sets
this event apart from others.
- Enhance
and refine technical skills
- Learn
Latest tips and tricks
- Become
more productive and effective
- Network

Here is what our past attendees are saying:
"CAU
is the one event where you can learn about the tools, software, colleagues, and
competitions in a friendly, relaxing atmosphere."
"The
course was very, very helpful. I really enjoyed it. The presenter was very good
in conveying the information across."
"I
was extremely impressed with the standard of presentations the depth of
knowledge shown by those who presented, also those who attended. If there is
one event that best suits engineers and designers in our industry it must
surely be this one."
“Truly
enjoyed all the information shared, best of show goes to the interaction with
all the Staff and Attendees at this conference. All had great information
to share and look forward to sharing more with all in the future.”
"At
CAU you learn things from the sessions and other users you meet, that you would
never find in the user manuals."
