Bentley Systems, Incorporated today announced that registration is now open at Bentley’s web site for its innovative Be Connected online seminar series. Be Connected gives architects, engineers, builders, geospatial professionals, and owner-operators a chance to learn about applying information modeling from some of the world’s leading infrastructure practitioners – free of charge, in both live and OnDemand formats. The series, which takes the place of this year’s Be Conference, begins June 23.

Be Connected offers two types of online seminars:

Best Practices Seminars – Presented by leading infrastructure professionals around the globe, these sessions bring a project perspective on best practices for the design, construction, and operation of specific types of infrastructure projects, including a series of seminars on each of the following: bridges, cadastre and land development, communications, electric and gas utilities, high performance buildings, mining and metals, oil and gas, rail and transit, roads, and water and wastewater.

Product Seminars – Presented by Bentley’s top product executives and designed for both current and prospective users, these technology-focused sessions demonstrate the latest features and capabilities of Bentley’s comprehensive V8i software portfolio for sustaining infrastructure.

The first presentation of these hour-long seminars will include a live Q&A teleconference, giving seminar attendees the unique opportunity to interact with leaders in the infrastructure professions. Each seminar will then be offered OnDemand, allowing participants to attend multiple sessions at times of their choosing. In addition, participants can join discussion groups about the topics presented in the seminars on the Be Communities professional networking website, further extending the value and the insights gained in the seminar.

Be Connected attendees will learn how to successfully employ new workflows, information technology, and delivery methods – enabling them to work smarter, improve their productivity, lower costs, and advance their careers. Every Be Connected participant will be provided transcripts indicating seminars attended and Bentley Institute Learning Units earned.
