UserMeeting in Germany
May 26 - 27, 2004 in Ulm

Bright sunshine welcomed more than 150 people from the AutoForm community to the German-speaking AutoForm UserMeeting at the Maritim Hotel in Ulm.

On two days users from Germany, Austria, Netherlands and Spain enjoyed informative presentations about the new AutoForm software version 4.0, top-class user-presentations and exciting workshops in the first-class convention hotel in Ulm.

Day one focused on presentations of the AutoForm‘s software developers, who provided a survey of news and functions in release 4.0. Nine presentations explained and discussed recent developments and new features.

A placid and informal evening in the local brewery ‘Brauhaus Barfüßer’, a great opportunity for discussions with fresh beer and pretzels, topped off this highly interesting day.

The first half of the second day was reserved for presentations of AutoForm users. Six brilliant customer presentations offered an interesting survey of sheet metal forming experiences and aspects.

AutoForm-users’ presentations:

The following lottery was quite another thrilling moment. Congratulations to the first prize winner of an AutoForm license valid 5.000,00 EURO, Mr. Thomas Linn from GESTAMP Autotech Engineering A.I.E..

In the second half of this day everyone got the opportunity to actively join two workshop-blocks with different topics about release 4.0 and to discuss them in depth with the workshop presenters.

The first German-speaking AutoForm UserMeeting was a great success and will remain a long and pleasant memory for all participants. Thanks a lot to all, especially to the presenters for their valuable contributions.
