Dassault Systèmes CEO Bernard Charlès Featured Speaker at 'Greenbrier' Global Leadership Conference
Dassault Systèmes (DS) announced that President and CEO Bernard Charlès will be a featured speaker at the Society of Automotive Engineers' (SAE) Global Leadership Conference on Oct. 12, 2007.
The conference, held at The Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, is one of the world's largest gatherings of top-level executives from automotive companies and suppliers. This year's conference theme is "Energy, Equity and Emerging Markets Define the Future." Charlès' speech, "Simulation, Innovation and Value Creation" will address how 3D technology leads to energy-efficient, environmentally-sustainable products and promotes intellectual property sharing to support economic growth in developing countries.
"The virtual world enables our imagination," Charlès said. "It represents tremendous opportunities to learn, discover and share differently. It gives us the ability to experiment in a world where mistakes are permitted, the impossible can be envisioned, and then turned into products that are better for people and the environment."
Charlès will also participate in a panel Q&A on the morning of his speech. The panel includes Andrew Liveris, president, CEO and chairman of Dow Chemical; Bob Nardelli, chairman and CEO of Chrysler; Diane Swonk, senior manager and chief economist at Mesirow Financial; and Derrick Kuzak, group vice president, global product development, at Ford Motor Company.
