Ken Mooyman, President of Leica Geosystems NAFTA said, “We thank our customers for their amazing encouragement and support of our inaugural, full-scale event in 2011. According to our post-conference survey, over 90% of Geosystems track attendees stated that their expectations were either met or surpassed and that they would recommend this event to a colleague in the industry”. Ken concluded, “We're planning to exceed their expectations again in 2012”.

“Following the success of our inaugural event, the focus for Hexagon 2012 is to enrich our attendees' experience with content concentrated on our synergistic and comprehensive technology portfolio,” said Ola Rollén, President and CEO of Hexagon AB. “We look forward to welcoming customers from more than 65 countries and to yet again delivering a conference of exceptional quality and value.”
