There is no doubt that the current Covid era brings with it all sorts of constraints. In particular, traveling and gathering at mass events has been a major challenge over the past few months.
In order to give our software users, engineers, and statics consultants some way to meet and share the latest information, we decided to hold a virtual IDEA StatiCa Global User Day conference.
The IDEA StatiCa Global User Day 2021 was the first virtual conference organized in this format for so wide public audience. In total, more than a thousand users joined. To ensure the best possible interaction with all participants, we decided to involve them in the conference and allow them to ask questions directly to the guests in the studio via chat and online voting.
All of them had the opportunity to actively participate in the content with their questions and by sharing their experiences in a thematic poll.
The IDEA StatiCa Global User Day met with a very positive response and many users contacted us to share the content. For those who were unable to follow the IDEA StatiCa Global User Day conference online, but also for users who would like to return to the content, we have prepared a summary of our conference in the following article.
How did the IDEA StatiCa Global User Day conference go?
The conference was divided into four themed sessions. The audience could learn about the latest trends in structural engineering for Steel and Concrete, hear about our customers' experiences with IDEA StatiCa solutions, find out where IDEA StatiCa is heading, and last but not least, find out who were the winners of the IDEA StatiCa Excellence Awards.
So let's take a look and remind the content of the sessions.
First session:
The first session was focused on introducing the new features of the latest version of IDEA StatiCa. Colleagues Martin Rolny, Operations Director, together with Vojtech Chalupa, Petra Komarkova, and , Director of IDEA StatiCa UK, presented how these features speed up and facilitate the work of civil engineers in the steel and concrete areas.
