Hi Pete, Liz, all
I agree it would be nice eventually to have the 'new family' together in a European meeting with multiple tracks as the integration gets tighter between the products and new 'full suite' users come on board. Indeed Pete and I had mentioned last year about putting our heads together in the future to bring them together.
The subject of opening up our recent APP meeting to be Arbortext wide did come up in discussions with PTC while i was planning the event. However as it had been so long since the last APP dedicated English meeting (2005) and there are still many specialised APP users out there, that it was decided this event should stay dedicated to APP and there was certainly more than enough content to be covered technically for the traditional APP users alone.
You may feel the Arbortext classic community needs a dedicate event also this time around, but I think it would be interesting to see what we could do in Europe in the future, especially as many of the European users would not have the capacity/budgets to get over to Florida!
Best Regards
Chris
