Orlando or Bust…Nothing Like A Good Deal!

Sorry it has been a while since I have posted on SolidWorks WORLD 2009. After a crazy, busy last week which included a trip to Barcelona, Spain for the SolidWorks 2009 Press Launch Event, I believe I am finally back on course to helping you out with convincing your management to send you to Orlando, Florida this coming February.

How many of you get a warm fuzzy feeling when you go to the store or car lot and come home with a deal that is almost too good to imagine? I will admit that I do and even though your management may at times seem to be unfazed by exciting things like this, deep down they are like you and me and love to save some serious cash. SolidWorks caters to this by offering (2) Early Bird specials for users who sign up early on in the registration process. If you sign up before October 10, 2008 you will receive a $200 dollar discount, that equals 20% off. If you can not pull the trigger on your proposal before October 10 you have until January 9, 2008 for the Early Bird #2 discount which give you a $100 dollar discount or 10% off the full price. Here is what the fees look like for SolidWorks WORLD 2009.

	Early Bird #1 (October 10, 2008)	Early Bird #2 (January 9, 2009)	Regular Price
Full Conference Pass	$795 (20%)	$895 (10%)	$995
CSWP Full Conference Pass	$695 (22%)	$795 (12%)	$895
3 Full Conferences Passes	$1,590 (80%)	$1,790 (10%)	$1,990
Full Conference Pass + CSWP Exam	$795 (20%)	$895 (10%)	$995
Full Conference Pass + CSWA Exam	$795 (20%)	$895 (10%)	$995
Exhibit Hall Only	$199	$199	$199
Educator Conference Pass	$495	$495	$495

These prices are unbelievable is you take into account what you are getting for them. 150 technical session + great networking opportunities + a look at SolidWorks 2010 = an unbelievable solution to expanding your SolidWorks knowledge, what more could you ask for. If you would like more information on what all of these conference passes include check out the SolidWorks WORLD 2009 Fees and Policies web page.

The sooner that you get signed up will result in even less of a savings vs. productivity gains number that you will need to attain in order to make the numbers work out for your company. Next week I will cover how to calculate these formulas in order for your management to justify the cost of sending you to Orlando in February.
