Three new Bentley User Groups in Australia, Bentley Users Association Australasia NSW (BUAA), Bentley User Group NSW (BUGNSW) and Perth Bentley User Group (PBUG) , we are all trying to work together to provide users with information, training, connectivity, and sharing ideas/experiences to benefit users, and for the development of the products we use.
At our March 6th 2018 General meeting at 
we had a changing of the guard, with Sabastian Thompson passing the Presidents role on to Eddy Wisniewski, and we added two more people to the committee, in Kate Turnbull form WSP, and Nivas Dhavala from Beca. Welcome to the BUGVA Train charging into the future.
Comments from our new President: Eddy Wisniewski.
I would like to thank Sabastian Thompson being president of BUGVA for the last four years. He hasn’t left the group, nor is his intention to leave BUGVA. We whole heartedly support his commitment with family. Sab has been instrumental with passion and devotion on issues related to improving techniques on Bentley Systems. In the area of the rail business, he has been, and continues to discuss with MTM and LXRA on standards, that not only helps them, but helps the users with efficiency and consistency. There will be ongoing discussions with these groups and Sab will lead the charge.
I would also want to thank John Davidson. John’s passion to get into the DNA of MicroStation is phenomenal. For those attending BUGVA March meeting witnessed the explanation and workings on Automatic Annotation. I discussed this with colleagues back at Jacobs and it is a function that has a lot of benefits in capturing useful data and utilising the data in a smarter way.
John has also been instrumental with this BUGVA web site. John has successfully produced another year of workshops gathering support from companies willing to support these valuable workshops. Great effort John.
This website has been developed for all users, make sure you visit the site regularly, see the schedule of events coming up. I encourage users to provide comments and industry related experiences.
