Marvelous User Conference: Estimating United at Manchester United

We had a marvelous users conference at the Manchester United Stadium in the UK. Users provided insights in application of SEER to cost estimating, value engineering, supply chain management, software estimating, target costing, function points, COSMIC function points, and much more.

Conference presentations will be posted on galorath.com in a few days.

The conference had multiple tracks so I missed many of the talks.  But of those I heard i especially liked the talk on how using SEER for value engineerin and cost estimating saved MILLIONS of euros bydesigning for cost, the talk covering how a consortium of European countries is using SEER to make project management decisions and the talk describing how a major university used SEER to determine the best redesign of an aircraft.

The real highlight, however, was running out to the pitch at the Manchester United stadium.  We ran from the players locker room thru the tunnel they use while a recording of the crowd roaring approval played.

I dont know how our Los Angeles users conference in October can top that.
