From The American Surveyor Magazine, a recap of the 2007 Trimble Dimensions User Conference provided by Angus Stocking. Dimensions 2007 was held November 5-7 at the Mirage in Las Vegas, attended by 2,500 registrants from 50 countries.
Dimensions 2007 was held November 5-7 at the Mirage in Las Vegas, attended by 2,500 registrants from 50 countries. About 450 formal classroom sessions were offered in three main groupings: surveying, mapping and GIS, and construction. There was also a robust Spanish language track. Topics were both general, with titles like "Solutions for the Private Surveyor" and "Staying on the Crest of the Technology Wave," and highly specialized, with titles like "A Hands-on Site Calibration Workshop Using a Trimble GNSS Receiver and Trimble Software." I attended sessions mainly in the surveying track, trying to get a feel for the quality of instruction and preparation. Both were generally impressive, with useful tips and advice offered along with higher-level analysis of trends and issues. Speakers tended to be expert users who knew what they were talking about, and discussions between said experts and users were illuminating. Put another way, Trimble Dimensions fulfilled its primary mission—education— admirably well.
