Bentleyuser.dk held their user group event November 10-12, 2008 at the Munkebjerg Hotel in Vejle, Denmark.   The event ran in coordination with the Nordic Civil User Days which created a great turnout!

Bentleyuser.dk has been running like a well oiled machine for years.  Their chairman, Carsten Ahm, is to be commended on a job well done.  The group successfully follows the SIG (Special Interest Group) format, with a total of 8 SIGs all headed and run by a user.  SIGs allow attendees to get detailed information on their field of expertise as well as provide networking opportunities with others in their field.
