Design Data will host the fourth Interoperability Network on September 21, 2011, at The Cornhusker in Lincoln, Nebraska. The objective of this development-driven forum is to create and discuss interoperability and new ideas between software developers. The event — held the day prior to the annual SDS/2 Users Group Conference — is designed to bring together major players in the structural steel software industry.

Last year's Interoperability Network included booths that allowed software companies to speak directly to users, as well as collaboration tables that enable the attending companies to work together.

Detailers, fabricators, engineers, erectors and general contractors were all in attendance.

If you are interested in partnering in this event, please contact Ryan Vanek at ryan@sds2.com.
