Configura Virtual CET Experience Oct. 13-15

13th annual CET Experience hosted as virtual conference, features CET Designer Awards, keynote presentations and much more

Configura, maker of CET Designer software, will host the 13th annual CET Experience as a virtual conference, Oct. 13-15.

“Our Configura community is stronger than ever and we can’t wait to bring our users, developers, partners and employees together through our Virtual CET Experience this fall,” Configura CEO Stefan Persson said. “While we wish we could learn and collaborate in person, we hope this virtual format will make it possible for those who haven’t been able to attend CET Experience in the past to join us. We look forward to capturing the spirit of our amazing Configura community through our virtual conference and hope it inspires people to join us in person next year.”

Formerly known as the CET Designer User and Developer Conference, CET Experience brings together hundreds of people from around the world who use, create and invest in CET Designer – including designers, dealers, developers, manufacturers, Configura employees and implementation partners.

This year’s theme is “Making a Difference” and it will feature three half-day sessions from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST. The conference will highlight ways people can make a difference through design and ways people can create something bigger than themselves. CET Experience will feature breakout sessions tailored for developers and designers. The conference will also highlight the CET Designer Awards.

Keynote speakers include Configura’s Chief Evangelist and Co-Founder Johan Lyreborn and Interface’s Vice President of Workplace Applications Chip DeGrace. Lyreborn will lead a conversation on how the Configura community has made a difference over the last 30 years. DeGrace will share how sustainability and moral courage to do what is right are ultimately better for business, our industry and the planet we call home.

“Our users are change-agents and problem solvers at heart who strive to make our built environment a better, safer place. They make a difference in their communities every day and we’re excited to highlight how our community uses CET Designer to drive change,” Configura Vice President of Global Customer Experience Tracy Lanning said. “Attendees can expect our same edgy and energy-filled conference but in a virtual setting. We hope to bring the excitement of CET Experience to all of our attendees whether they are working from home or back in the office. We look forward to bringing everyone together in person next year.”

Registration opens June 29. Cost is $150 per person. Learn more at cetexperience.com.

The fall Partner Meeting will take place virtually on Oct. 12, noon – 5 p.m. EST.

About CET Designer

Based on technology created by Configura, CET Designer is intelligent, highly visual and intuitive space-planning software that simplifies specifying and selling of products in a variety of industries. It’s a complete solution that quickly and accurately handles every step of the sales and order process. In CET Designer, components that represent manufacturers’ products look and behave like actual products. Users drag and drop components into 2D and 3D virtual environments; behind the scenes, the software tracks components, calculates pricing and prevents user errors. Users can create and generate layouts, quotes, photorealistic renderings, movies, installation drawings, reconfigurations and bills of materials – in other words, everything needed to propose on work and place orders. CET Designer is the future of space planning. More information at www.configura.com/cet.
