EXTON, Pennsylvania, March 2, 2010 - Bentley Systems, Incorporated, the leading company dedicated to providing
comprehensive software solutions for the infrastructure that sustains our
world, today announced that registration is now open at
www.bentley.com/BeTogether for the inaugural Be Together: The Be
Communities LIVE Conference, being held May 17-20, 2010, at the Pennsylvania
Convention Center in Philadelphia. This innovative event will enable the
architects, engineers, constructors, geospatial professionals, and CAD
managers who regularly exchange ideas virtually on the Be Communities
professional networking site to connect, communicate, and learn from each
other in person. At the same time, guided by Bentley product experts,
attendees will acquire knowledge critical to the adoption of an
information-modeling level of practice as they earn Bentley Institute
Learning Units to track time invested in professional development.

"Be Together is a marked departure from the Be Conferences of previous
years," said Keith Bentley, founder and CTO of Bentley, and Be Communities
champion. "Its format and content were driven by the members of our Be
Communities website and Be User Groups. So attendees can look forward to a
hands-on, product-oriented experience focused on helping practitioners get
their jobs done faster and with better results. It's the ideal event for
those who like to roll up their sleeves and dig into information modeling
technology."

Throughout the week, attendees will benefit from:

    - Interactive product tours and overviews of Bentley's product roadmaps,
    - Explorations of software tips, tricks, and techniques,
    - Hands-on workshops and product test drives,
    - Clinics that help them resolve current project modeling challenges,
    - Peer presentations of case studies featuring innovations in software
      use,
    - Roundtable and panel discussions on today's hottest technology issues.

Those registering for the conference by March 31 will receive an early
bird discount of US$200 off the US$795 conference fee.

Ed Mueller, Bentley chief marketing officer, said, "Our interactive
conference gives all those practitioners who regularly share information
virtually on Be Communities a unique opportunity to 'press the flesh' as they
gather for a 'live' exchange of ideas. Over the course of a few days,
attendees will gain valuable knowledge and insight that will help them adopt
world-class information modeling practices - to advance the value of their
work and open the door to new career-enhancing project opportunities."

The Be Together Conference encompasses the following areas of interest to
the infrastructure community:

    - Roads and Bridges
    - Structural

be colocated with teams of Bentley product and professional services
specialists to demonstrate - in hands-on sessions - the combined value of
Bentley, Bentley channel partner, Bentley technology partner, and third-party
