2009 ACEIT User Conference

This is the premier annual gathering for ACEIT users and managers that review ACEIT models! Now in its 3rd year, the conference brings together active users, casual users, decision makers, academia, and ACEIT community members to share their expertise and insights. This year, Walt Cooper, OSD CAIG will give the keynote address that will focus critical cost estimating issues in the R&D, Procurement and O&S environments. On day two, our guest speaker Rich Bazzy will give an overview of how ACEIT has influenced cost modeling in the weapon systems research, development, and sustainment environment. There will be two full days of practical and thought-provoking presentations, as well as useful ACEIT “how-to demonstration”. The ACEIT Users Conference is renowned for its value, energy, innovation, and contribution to the cost estimating community.

The ACEIT Users Conference is attended by cost managers, cost analysts and cost engineering professionals from all levels and disciplines in the federal government cost analysis community. Attendees include cost professionals who need to stay on top of current information and developments regarding the latest ACEIT changes, time saving techniques, and how best to apply ACEIT. Presenters at the conference are experienced ACEIT users who offer leading-edge case studies, ACEIT innovations, practical techniques, session design tips, and application insights. This is also an opportunity to influence “what comes next for ACEIT”. The conference is attended by the government ACEIT Working Group members and is immediately followed by a meeting to decide on the future of ACEIT. Make your voice heard by presenting and mingling with the authorities that manage the configuration control of ACEIT.

2009 represents a critical juncture in cost analysis, program management, earned value management, and schedule analysis communities. The need for practical, insightful, and creative use of ACEIT to improve productivity and effectiveness across all of these communities has never been greater. Join us to share and spread the knowledge and power of ACEIT, encourage cost estimators in the field, inform decision makers and bring members of the program/project communities together to learn how to exploit ACEIT to find solutions to issues that challenge us all.
