Successful InterGEO Trade Fair in Berlin
The InterGEO Trade Fair, held this year in Berlin, Germany on October 11 - 13, provided a superb opportunity for GE Smallworld to present its software and services. As the leading international trade fair for geodesy and geoinformation, attendance was estimated at more than 14,000, and the massive conference hall housed 365 exhibitors.
The GE Smallworld stand included a cinema ("Messekino") complete with popcorn and drinks. Cinema presentations alternated between GE Smallworld and partner products and solutions. Another added attraction was the Jack Nicholson look-alike, who was available for pictures.
The focus of this conference for GE Smallworld was the Public Systems sector. Our product demonstrations included SIAS, Design Manager, and iCity. GE Smallworld partners MGIS, Sofion, RWTH, GeoMagic, WGI, Logiball, GIS Consult, and Stadtwerke Munich manned demo areas within our booth to showcase their products and solutions for both public sector and utilities industries. Working with partners in Germany has resulted in GE Smallworld software becoming almost the standard for a number of market areas. Smallworld technology is used in numerous industries within Germany, including water, electricity, transportation, and telecommunications, with over 400 GE Smallworld clients.
