We have got an exclusive interview of Laurent Puons about the forthcoming outstanding IMAGINA event www.imagina.mc along with Eric Seulliet, President of La Fabrique du Futur (The Futur Factory) and Philippe Fuchs, President of AFRV (French Association of Virtual Reality). 



Laurent Puons, what will be the highlights of the next edition of IMAGINA taking place from January 30 to February 1, 2008 in Monaco ?

 

IMAGINA , will bring together all of the Industry communities within Europe , who use 3D solutions in their conception/production cycle. IMAGINA is a business orientated event and for 2008 will feature: free access to the exhibition floor for professionals, high level conference cycles and roundtables presented by highly respected leaders from the targeted industry sectors, « Privileged Information Meetings » giving vendors the opportunity to present their solutions to decision-makers from the industry invited by the organising committee, special events for companies wishing to address a specific large professional audience, and an important international press and TV media coverage.

Finally I would like to mention two other highlights of IMAGINA : the IMAGINA Awards which for 2008 will reward the best creations in Animation, Architecture, Landscape & Territory, and Industry, and the « Job Opportunity Forum » which gives the opportunity to companies to recruit young talents in 3D design.

 

 

 

Indeed 2006 was a turning point in the strategic positioning of IMAGINA . We decided to open the event to other economic sectors, all active 3D users, such as Architecture, Landscape & Territory… This was a real success that encouraged us to continue this development in 2007 by announcing our intention to open IMAGINA to Industry, and more specifically the Automotive sector. The response from leading 3D solutions Editors, strongly involved in these markets, has confirmed that we are on the right track: to offer the best professional meeting possibilities in Europe for 3D solutions actors, buyers, and vendors in the largest applied markets.

 

 

To approach such a large economic sector, IMAGINA needed to establish several partnerships:

-         We are organising, in collaboration with Renault, the 9th DSC « Driving Simulation Conference » which will gather 150 international driving simulation experts .

-         In relation to our Industry Roundtables, we are organising with MICADO (The French Association for the Information Technologies and the Digital Engineering Communication ) several presentations around the theme: «The Present and Evolution of 3D Design Tools ».

-         Finally, within our partnership with the AFRV (French Association for Virtual Reality), we are organising a high level roundtable about: « Humankind and the Virtual in the Industrial Landscape of Tomorrow», a theme which will look at the most advanced industrial achievements in this field.

 

 

 

Absolutely, we want to continue to cover as broadly as possible the experiences and new uses of 3D and the virtual world for companies. That is why are inviting the association « La Fabrique du Futur  » to present its expertise as it opens new horizons to companies involved in participative and collaborative innovation , nano-marketing and customer, relations, teaching and training.
