Bernard Charles, president and CEO of Dassault Systemes, will speak at NVISION 08. Charles is a highly-regarded pioneer in the field of industrial design and visual computing. Companies around the world use technology from Dassault Systemes to digitally design, simulate, and manage products from conception through production to maintenance. Speaking on Tuesday, August 26, in San Jose, California, Charles will discuss megatrends in 3D design.
Since becoming president of Dassault Systemes in 1995, Charles has expanded the company's reach beyond its roots in 3D computer-aided design to encompass the more strategic concept of product lifecycle management (PLM).
