NAFEMS, the premier global organizationdedicated to the advancement andimprovement of engineering simulation,will address these questions in its 2014Americas Conference in Colorado Springs,CO on 28 - 30 May, to ensure attendeesrealize the full potential of modeling andsimulation now and in the future.

The event will be the only truly independentand vendor neutral conference dedicated toanalysis and simulation. The 2014conference will bring together the leadingvisionaries, developers, and practitioners ofCAE related technologies in an open forum,

unlike any other, to share experiences,discuss relevant trends, discover commonthemes, and explore future issues.

With over 80 presentations in more than 25sessions over three days, the NAFEMSAmericas 2014 Conference will be theforemost independent conference focussedon engineering analysis and simulationheld in the Americas this year. Attendancealso gives you access to the cutting edge3D Collaboration & InteroperabilityCongress as well as a number ofinternationally renowned short trainingcourses on FEA and CFD.

The 3D Collaboration & InteroperabilityCongress is dedicated to fostering andimproving collaboration and interoperabilitythroughout the product lifecycle.

Manufacturing is a distributed business, usuallyinvolving global design teams and supply chains.World-class manufacturing cannot happenunless people work together effectively,collaborating from any location, and sharingproduct data safely, accurately and confidently.

Now in its eleventh year, CIC is the onlyvendor-neutral event in the world addressingcollaboration and interoperability across diverseindustries in product development,manufacturing and business communications.This makes it an essential forum to get anunbiased perspective to help guide productdevelopment, manufacturing and IT strategies inthese mission-critical areas.
