Telvent’s Users’ Group Conference (UGC) is a biannual event providing an opportunity for customers and partners to participate in the continual refinement and enhancement of the products and services offered by the company.

The three-day forum, which is being hosted October 30 to November 2 in Banff, Alberta, brings together a worldwide audience of Telvent system users, value added resellers and strategic technology partners from the oil, gas, water and electric utility sectors. The conference allows attendees to exchange information and provide direct input into a number of product and company related areas, including:

• functional product direction
• current product issues
• new strategic partnership initiatives
• additional requirements, including support, services, and applications

Telvent’s UGC program is based on several key components, including:

• pre-conference training sessions
• technical, industry and company information updates and presentations
• forums and breakout sessions for user questions and discussions
• demonstrations of new products
• networking and teambuilding opportunities (for all attendees… users as well as Telvent staff members)

The UGC program is coordinated by Telvent, however, the user group plays a key role in all facets of the conference, including for example: presenting papers on a variety of technical and business topics, and participating in industry panel sessions and round table discussions on particular areas of interest. Outside the core hours of the scheduled presentations and user sessions, a variety of planned events provide an ideal environment for attendees to share and explore different product and project experiences.

UGC 2005 is expected to attract a record number of attendees, and will cover a wider range of topics than any previous conference. For more information, please contact Telvent at info.canada@telvent.abengoa.com.
