HxGN LIVE 2014: Shaping Change with the Latest Trends

Hexagon’s annual international conference, HxGN LIVE, will once again take place in Las Vegas, USA, from 2 to 5 June 2014. Customers, partners and the global brand network of Hexagon will all come together to help shape the way we work and live. User presentations, training sessions, product updates and networking events provide the impetus for this engaging three-day conference.

The Geosystems track will cover a wide range of geospatial technologies, applications and solutions from Leica Geosystems, its sister brands and solution partners that shape change globally. An Early Bird registration rate is available until 31 January 2014.

HxGN LIVE highlights the latest trends in design, measurement and visualisation technologies, and fosters discussions, ideas and solutions for creating a better, smarter world. HxGN LIVE offers an up-close look at an expansive portfolio of products and solutions and to receive hands-on instruction from the experts.

Leica Geosystems and its sister brands are the focus of the Geosystems track during HxGN Live, which will feature more than 100 presentations incorporating user testimonials, reports on industry trends, new technology previews, interactive technical demonstrations, workout sessions, training classes and special networking opportunities. The Geosystems track is organised into four sub-tracks:

• Surveying, Infrastructure and Construction: gain insight into the latest developments in our technology, such as the Nova MS50 MultiStation and the variety of applications it can be used for. Discover through hands-on training with total stations, GNSS or GIS how to work more efficiently in surveying, constructing and monitoring infrastructure using intuitive workflows.

• HDS/3D Laser Scanning: Leica Geosystems’ 3D laser scanning provides workflows for converting point clouds of reality into final client deliverables. CAD professionals, architects, contractors, forensic investigators, archaeologists, and owner/operators can profit from cost savings and added-value.

• Geospatial Solutions, including topics like creating smart cities with highly precise 3D data generated from our airborne and terrestrial mobile systems; environmental change and disaster management: The next generations of airborne sensors detect and assist and UAV’s for commercial and industrial use: from Amazon to Fukushima.

• Machine Control and Mining, a new track for mining customers, Leica Geosystems provides integrated fleet management, production optimisation, GPS guidance and autonomous control solutions.
