The Intergraph conference in Washington, D.C. drew almost 1,000 attendees this week, in spite of economics worldwide. PR spokespeople did say that there are fewer international attendees than in previous years. Day Two (Wednesday) featured a press conference with Halsey Wise and Reid French.

He said Intergraph aims for $1 billion in revenue by 2012, not counting acquisitions. Category: Intergraph |
