Breaking News: FLOW-3D Users Conferences
The Hotel Krone
The Embassy Suites
Denver Tech Center
Because sometimes once is not enough, Flow Science is making this second announcement of two upcoming meetings for FLOW-3D users:
European User Conference—May 2006
This meeting, for FLOW-3D users in Europe, will be held May 24, 2006 at the Hotel Krone in the beautiful little university town of Tübingen, Germany. The meeting is hosted by Flow Science's representative in Germany, CFD Consultants GmbH, but all FLOW-3D users throughout Europe are invited to participate.
There will be some very interesting user presentations, and Flow Science will present its development plans for 2006 and beyond. If you are a FLOW-3D user and would like to make a presentation, we encourage you to let us know now. Please contact CFD Consultants or email us at Flow Science as soon as possible for details and requirements.
Contact CFD Consultants for a registration form! The hotel has limited space, so send your registration soon!
