Congress on the Future of Engineering Software 2011 conference (COFES11) ends today. People from all over came to Scottsdale, AZ for a week of conversation about…well, about the future of engineering software. I guess the name describes the event fairly well. Its agenda speaks for the conference well, too. From the event’s press release: “For design and engineering organizations, software is key to innovation,” explains Cyon Research President and CEO Brad Holtz. “At COFES, leading thinkers from all corners of the industry gather to explore where and how design and engineering software needs to evolve to.” Oh, and there is golfing too! 🙂
