A Look Back at Dimensions 2007
Trimble opened its Dimensions 2007 with more than 2,500 registered attendees from over 50 countries around the world. According to attendees, Trimble Dimensions provided them significant value:
"I consider Dimensions the best training opportunity available. Trimble's commitment to having the people who 'build' the products available is invaluable to me as a user. The presentations are fantastic; it's great to listen to those who are using the products to their limit. Networking with Trimble employees is very valuable to me and client networking opportunities are plentiful."

J-U-B ENGINEERS, Inc., U.S.
"Trimble did an amazing job with the Dimensions conference. We were impressed with the event's international scope, both in the attendees and the unique technical presentations from around the world. It was well worth our time and investment."
Prof. Gao Zhendong and Dr. Lou of Wuhan University, China
"Trimble Dimensions 2007 was a successful and well-organized event. The range of topics was broad and covered all survey applications. Partners Pavilion exhibits provided information about the latest technological developments in equipment and applications and showed where the 'future of survey' is heading. I made many new contacts and have maintained them since the conference. I would definitely attend again!"
Juergen Weber, Managing Partner, IU Plan GmbH

"Dimensions was extremely informative, particularly in the areas of software development, hardware development and the Connected Site. Leighton Contractors is a major user of Trimble products and it was great to see that Trimble is moving towards the future with survey and construction-based software and hardware. I will certainly be recommending to anyone using Trimble products that they attend the next Dimensions in 2009."
Brad Chambers, Acting Survey Manager,
