6th ANNUAL CONFERENCE • 3D LASER SCANNING • MOBILE SURVEY & MAPPING• LIDAR • DIMENSIONAL CONTROL • ASSET MANAGEMENT • BIM/CAD/GIS INTEGRATION • SECURITY PLANNING & FORENSICS • DIGITAL HERITAGE PRESERVATION •
- Learn all about recession-resistant and emerging markets. Understand the needs in nuclear power, transportation and civil infrastructure, public
safety and security planning, green design and construction, and digital heritage preservation
- If you’re new to laser scanning, get up to speed
with a 2-hour 3D Laser Scanning Boot Camp presented by SPAR 2009’s advisory board
- Get more productivity from your existing investments in hardware, software and human capital. Upgrade your skills
- Be ready when infrastructure projects get funded. All data capture is local; you can eliminate or reduce per diem and travel expenses by building
your network of competent service providers. (If you provide scanning or survey services, make sure you’re on the short list for projects in your area.)
- Capitalize on emerging BIM opportunities that need laser scanning services to produce field validated—useful—BIM deliverables for the long term.
- Learn all about building Web portals to provide point cloud and survey data together with digital photographs and associated databases. Portals
via Leica’s TruView and Z+F’s NetView open up new service opportunities, enhance client contact and aid the generation of new revenue streams.
- Get current on new mobile data capture solutions that can shave months off survey schedules and increase safety, too. Learn what works, who’s doing it and why.
- Learn about the opportunities being created as industry titans like Autodesk, Bentley, ESRI, Google and Oracle embrace, embed and extend point cloud processing capabilities to millions of their customers. Don’t miss new point cloud processing software from new startups. This is a hot area of development

WHY ATTEND?
|
New 3D data capture systems based on laser scanning, LIDAR, high dynamic range photography, GPS, sonar and inertial navigation technologies challenge organizations to rethink how they use 3D data for efficient and safe operations. Project managers responsible for design, fabrication and construction of capital assets are finding new ways to mitigate execution risk using 3D – not just the design data but as-built, as-constructed 3D information. Asset and facility managers are also beginning to harness the power of field-validated 3D. |

SPAR 2009 is all about the business and technology of capturing, managing and integrating 3D information. We search the world for the smartest, most experienced people we can find to exchange information and share their fresh ideas, new technologies, and inspired work processes with our conference attendees. Now in its sixth year, SPAR 2009 attracts attendees from the world's largest petroleum and petrochemical producers, manufacturing companies, shipbuilders, civil and transportation infrastructure engineering firms, industrial metrologists, architects, geotechnical and mining firms, land surveyors, and federal, state and local governments. We aim to help design leads, project managers, surveyors, construction managers, maintenance managers and others who commit their careers to increasing their organizations' productivity and project execution competence. |
What was most valuable about SPAR 2008? "Great Opportunity to interact with other Asset Owners and get a read of where the community is leveraging the power of 3D Imaging/Modeling in its business processes, and get a first-hand exposure to the wide range of products & solutions available to Asset Owners" Saul Hernandez, Aera Energy LLC |

| What was most valuable about SPAR 2008? "SPAR 2008 was the most organized and smoothest run conference I think I have ever been to. Presentations were kept on track and on time which I fully appreciated, because the sessions that were at the end didn’t get short changed on time. The environment to meet and interact with vendors that were not just there to sell you something, but were really willing to show you what they had and what they are doing with it even if it was not your market of primary interest was amazing." Keith Roberts, Spotts Stevens McCoy |
New for 2009: We've expanded our track on mobile survey applications to include not only laser scanning but also emerging calibrated stereophotography technologies. We've also added a session on the needs of nuclear power plant construction, fabrication and modification projects. Several presentations will focus on integrating sonar data with laser scan data for offshore decommissioning projects as well as transportation infrastructure applications. A new BIM integration track will explore using 3D data capture to inform and validate BIM models for both design and construction. This year we've also added a service provider roundtable following the positive reception of last year's inaugural asset owner roundtable. |

SPAR 2009 attendees can compare the newest technology from 28 of the world's leading suppliers of hardware, software and services, who send their top technical and business people to showcase their newest product and service offerings. |
What was most valuable about SPAR 2007? " I enjoyed listening to the service providers tell their recent experiences with new projects. I now have a better appreciation for the many applications of laser scanning. It is a new tool for me and since Mobil Producing Nigeria requires laser scanning of all brownfield projects, I will use the tool often." Warren H. Latham, Technical Lead, East Area Project (EPC4B), ExxonMobil Production Company |
“This is the premier event for anyone using laser scanning technology.”, Constantino Lanza, INOVx Solutions
SPAR 2009 is the sixth annual Spar Point Research conference focused on advanced dimensional control work processes and 3D laser scanning technologies. SPAR 2008 attendance topped 720 from more 25 countries – up from 550 attendees from 20 countries in 2007.
