Dr. Kaku is renowned for taking futuristic and scientific topics and communicating them to broad audiences. As a result, it struck me as odd that I didn’t find much of his speech surprising. That is, until I overheard a mechanical engineer talking about how his company is actively working on some of the thing Dr. Kaku was talking about.

Learn and Connect: HOOPS Technical Summit and TEC Talk
During the first week of October I was in Munich, Germany. As you might expect, there were plenty of highlights. Drinking beer at Oktoberfest was pretty great. Attending a Bayern Munich match with a friend was fun. Working on 2015 planning with my Tech Soft 3D colleagues was fruitful.

Component providers like Tech Soft 3D are typically behind the scenes, working hard to provide stable platform technologies to help our customers build successful software applications.

For the uninitiated, COFES stands for the Congress on the Future of Engineering Software. It attracts industry leaders for a series of sessions and discussions that include thought leaders and industry movers. The name sort of makes it sounds like these “industry leaders” will all get in a room and jointly determine, with all the force of legislation, what the future of engineering software will be, and so shall be.
