Professionals from a wide variety of industries were invited to the four-day event, which featured more than 400 educational sessions, hands-on training courses, and keynote presentations. The conference additionally presented previews of technologies, interactive technical demonstrations, examples of real-world best practices and numerous networking opportunities.

Hexagon Metrology President Norbert Hanke said the event “provided us the opportunity to unite a broad base of customers from all over the world, allowing delegates to learn first-hand how they can optimise their processes and work smarter. I look forward to being back in Las Vegas in 2013 to welcome even more of our Metrology customers.” The next conference is scheduled at the same location on 3–6 June next year.
For those unable to participate in the conference, Hexagon provided a live stream of President and CEO Ola Rollén's keynote presentation, “Hexagon: Moving Businesses, Industries and the World Forward.” A recording can be viewed at http://thinkforwardlive.hexagonconference.com.
