Following
up on the highly successful CAU Express 2014, Intergraph are once again joining
forces with Chempute to host the CAU Express 2015. Intergraph are again sending
out a team of product specialists for technical presentations of CAESAR,
PVELITE, CADWorx and GT Strudl, a Steel Analysis Solution that was recently
added to Intergraph’s already extensive software catalogue.
This
one day event will be held at Focus Rooms, Sunninghill, Gauteng on the 1st
April 2015.
CAU Express 2015 will consist of in depth, interactive training
sessions on CADWorx, CAESAR II, and PV Elite, GT Strudl as well as a reviews on
some of the upcoming features in future releases. These sessions are all packed
into a one-day, high-powered learning experience.
Intergraph CADWorx, CAESAR II, PV Elite and GT Strudl 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, PVElite and GT Strudl training sessions.
Each event will be capped
off with product focused Special Interest Groups and an optional networking
reception dinner in the form of a social braai.
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.

tricks
- Increase productivity
- Network with other

Here is what our past attendees are saying:
"At
CAU you learn things from the sessions and other users you meet, that you would
never find in the user manuals."
"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.”
