1st Virtual European DEFORM User Meeting
11 November 2020 -
11 November 20209:00 - 16:00 - Online
The COVID-19 pandemic has a huge impact on our daily life and corporate behavior, for this reason SFTC, producer of the DEFORM Software and the European distributors Cenit, S&I Technologies, Wilde Analysis and Ecotre Valente have decided to transfer the annual conference aimed at users in a virtual format, a webinar.
The user meeting offered DEFORM users the opportunity to exchange experiences and learn about the latest software features. There was also the opportunity to make suggestions to improve and help shape the future development of DEFORM, by sending your requests for improvement in advance for the “question and answer” session to mail@ecotre.it.
The keynote speech was given by Jim Miller, Director of Sales and Marketing at SFTC for 14 years and responsible for DEFORM’s international clients around the world. He talked about the new features implemented in the current version and the future plans and development activities of DEFORM.
Participation was free and the language was English.
It was divided into a morning session and an afternoon session with a lunch break.
