Hexagon’s HxGN LIVE 2015 opens today with a focus on ingenuity and innovation


Today Hexagon kicks off HxGN LIVE Las Vegas, the first of two conferences for
2015. With more than 3,500 attendees participating, HxGN LIVE runs 1-4 June at
the MGM Grand Hotel and is the world’s largest event that brings together and
showcases the power of Hexagon technologies.

The annual international conference is a forum for customers and partners to
access the latest trends in geospatial and industrial enterprise technologies,
empowering them to do great things with far-reaching impact.

This year also marks the first time HxGN LIVE will be held in a second location,
as well as outside of North America. In November, Hexagon will host the
conference from Hong Kong as part of efforts to reach and engage its customers
in the Asia-Pacific market.

“Asia is a region that has demanded the world’s attention with its robust
market,” said Ola Rollén, Hexagon president and CEO. “Many of its countries are
recognised for their growing power and international influence, so we are
excited to be a part of the exchange of ideas happening there.

“Today, however, we celebrate HxGN LIVE Las Vegas and look forward to all it
brings.”

Under the theme “Great Stories Start Here,” HxGN LIVE is organised along six
tracks - Geospatial, Geosystems, Metrology, Process, Power & Marine, Security,
Government & Infrastructure and Synergy - and presents an exciting lineup of
must-see technologies, exclusive presentations by industry experts, 400+
sessions, hands-on training and networking opportunities with peers from around
the world.

Rollén will present the opening keynote address, “Human Ingenuity: An Ambitious
Plot, An Evolving Tale,” today at 5:30 p.m. PDT in the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
He will be followed by a special presentation from Doug Menuez, photojournalist
and author of the best-selling book Fearless Genius: The Digital Revolution in
Silicon Valley 1985-2000.

The opening general session also will spotlight Hexagon’s Shaping Change
Recognition Programme. Now in its second year, the programme honors customers
and partners that have made a significant mark on the world through the
employment of Hexagon technologies. This year’s honorees are Changjiang Spatial
Information Technology Engineering, U.S. Coast Guard Investigative Service, Eni,
Fibria, Foxconn, Mecadat, Roger & Sons Concrete, Selex ES and Sinopec
Engineering (Group) Co., Ltd.
