Loveland, CO - Longview Advisors, organizers of the 2009 Collaboration & Interoperability Conference (CIC), today announced the corporate underwriters of this year's event.

'We want to publically acknowledge the generosity of our sponsors who make this gathering possible -- and make it better -- every year,' says David Prawel, President of Longview Advisors. 'The list of sponsors itself is an impressive assembly of the leaders in collaboration and interoperability technology.'

Corporate sponsors to date include: Adobe Systems, Anark, CENIT America, Intel, ITI TranscenData, Jotne EPM Technology, Kubotek USA, Lenovo, mental images, Microsoft, Right Hemisphere, Spatial, and TransMagic. Promotional sponsors include the ConnectPress group of CAD communities (e.g. CATIA Community, Pro-E Community, UG Community), Desktop Engineering Magazine, MCADCafe, PDES, and Tenlinks.

Now in its fifth year, the three-day international event is the only vendor-neutral platform to explore the challenges of design collaboration and 3D data interoperability, bringing together thought leaders from government, defense, and discrete manufacturing. Early registration for the 2009 conference and exhibition, which kicks off May 18 in Estes Park, Colorado, has already opened online at www.3Dcic.com.

'Kubotek USA is looking forward to sponsoring the 2009 Collaboration and Interoperability summit again this year,' says Kubotek USA Executive Vice President Robert Bean. 'Longview's event is unique. It brings together the best and brightest to address the most pressing challenges in product lifecycle management. This year is especially important, as the entire industry must now learn how to solve the complex business issues of data exchange, validation and supply chain processes with leaner resources.'
