SPAR International 2012 Call for presenters

SPAR International 2012 brings together industry professionals to share fresh, actionable ideas about the business and technology of 3D imaging. The event is all about capturing, processing and delivering 3D to mitigate project risk, boost productivity, improve workplace safety and win new business.

People are invited to submit a presentation abstract describing how your organization uses new 3D technologies and workflows. Presentation abstracts that address the challenges you face, the outcomes you've achieved, and the metrics you use to quantify your success are especially welcome. Presenters at SPAR International find tremendous value in sharing new approaches with its world-class audience, making new industry connections and inspiring fresh thinking about familiar challenges. 

TOPICS include but are not limited to:

• 3D Laser Scanning
• New 3D Imaging Technologies, including Gigapixel and High-Dynamic Range Photography

Please note: Presentations must be original and not a repeat of a presentation given at another conference. We request that sales and marketing pitches be saved for the exhibit floor and not proposed as presentations. But a new technology or unique solution presented as a case study is very welcome. Please contact us with questions about this distinction.

Additionally, live demonstrations will be featured prominently throughout the conference, so please feel free to include suggestions for showing 3D technology capture, processing and/or delivery in action (e.g.,  portable scanning, mobile or remotely-controlled scanning, examples of photogrammetry in use, suggested scenarios for scanning such as nearby facilities or landscapes, etc.).
