Spatial to Explore Multi-threaded Application Development at Upcoming 3D Insiders' Summit

Spatial Corp., a leading provider of 3D software components for
technical applications, is pleased to announce that conference
registration is open for the 3D Insiders' Summit, to be held on
October 13-14 at the St. Julien Hotel & Spa in Boulder, Colorado. The
annual Summit enables the
Spatial user and prospect community to gain in-depth knowledge of
Spatial components and have direct exchange with Spatial developers
and executive management team. This year's Summit also provides an
opportunity to learn about the latest industry advances in developing
multi-threaded applications.

"This is my fourth year attending the 3D Insider's Summit. Running a
development team, I do not always get the opportunity to drill down to
the details. The Summit has served me really well, introducing new
features in a very good and concentrated package and advice on how to
implement them. Our time from learning about a new feature to the time
it is available in our application decreased by one or two release
cycles since I've started attending the Summit," stated Mauritz Botha,
CTO at IMSI/Design(TM). "Networking and access to the developers is
fantastic, and the advice that I get from these discussions alone
makes the trip a permanent feature on my calendar."

This year's keynote speaker, James Reinders, Chief Software Evangelist
and Director for Intel Software Development Products, shares practical
advice for the development of effective multi-threaded software
applications. Mr. Reinders' presentation, "Parallel or Perish!! - Are
You Ready?" addresses the industry shift to multi-core hardware
architectures and how software applications can best take advantage of
this shift. Duncan McCallum, Chief Executive Officer of Cilk Arts,
presents "Multicore-enabling C++ Applications" and the new programming
skill sets required to address the challenges of multi-core
architectures.

The 3D Insiders' Summit provides Spatial users and guests with a
unique opportunity to gain in-depth technical information on Spatial
3D software components and future product direction. Developer
presented sessions provide details on what's new in Spatial's core
software components including the 3D ACIS Modeler, 3D
Interoperability, and 3D Visualization (HOOPS/3dAF) product lines.
Presentations cover recently introduced application-specific
components -- 3D Springback and EDA 3D Analysis Suite, and provide an
in-depth look at exchanging product manufacturing information (PMI)
and use within applications. Spatial's product development leadership
outlines each product's roadmap. New this year is the Developer's
Roundup, which provides attendees' access to Spatial developers in an
exhibit-like setting, complete with technical demonstrations.

The Summit is a great way to learn how to best utilize and implement
Spatial's 3D software components, to see what the future holds for
Spatial's products and the industry, and to network with industry
colleagues.
