FIATECH

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Austin, TX and Oslo, Norway, February 24, 2010--POSC Caesar Association (PCA) and FIATECH have agreed on a single “Joint Operational Reference Data” project plan to create in 2010 a stable, scalable and commercially-viable operation of the ISO15926 reference data system and associated services.

FIATECH has a number of student scholarships available for the 2010 Technology Showcase and Conference at the AT&T Executive Conference Center and Hotel in Austin, TX from March 29-31, 2010.

As a means to engage more undergraduate and graduate students who intend to enter our industry, FIATECH  makes available scholarships to attend our annual conference. These scholarships are funded by sponsoring companies which cover travel and lodging costs. FIATECH also extends complimentary registration to these students. At the event, sponsoring companies have an opportunity to meet the scholarship recipients.

The deadline is Friday, February 19 for submitting a student scholarship application. Recipients will be selected and announced the week of February 22. Students will be chosen based on their field of study, faculty feedback and their brief essay response outlining why they wish to participate in the conference.

The FIATECH Streamlining Project is pleased to report a major success in its 2008-09 initiative to develop model regulations that state and local governments can adopt to conduct a single plan review for replicable buildings; buildings, like those of “big box stores,” hotel chains, homebuilders and even Habitat for Humanity that are repetitively built across the nation with little to no variation in their structure, components or configuration.
