solidworks world 2010…why you need to be there.

So the biggest event of the year, as a SolidWorks user, is coming up fast.  A lot of the planning behind the scenes is going on which mean only one thing, you need to figure out a way to get to Anaheim, CA. in January.  Why you might ask?  Well here is a brief breakdown of the reasons I feel it is a necessary event to attend each year.

1.  Learn

Why else would you go to a user conference like this right?  There is no shortage when it comes to learning at this event each year.  There are more breakout sessions than you can shake a stick at, ranging from CAD Administration to Education to Modeling Essentials to Customer Success/Designing Better Products.  These are only a couple of the categories that are available to each attendee.  One of the hardest parts of attending SolidWorks WORLD is trying to map out your schedule because there are usually 3 or 4 breakouts that you want to attend during each time slot.  This however is the reason that this is such a great place to go to learn more and enhance your SolidWorks skills.

2.  Network

Have you ever attended a SWUGN (SolidWorks User Group Network) meeting before?  If you have you know the atmosphere where there are 30, 40, 50 or even 80+ SolidWorks users walking around, talking to each other and NETWORKING.  Now try to imagine upwards of 4,000-5,000 SolidWorks all in the same building willing to help and discuss about anything and everything SolidWorks.  This I think is the coolest part of the event.  The learning is great but the ability to talk to other users from around the world is even better.  There is NO other event that you can attend that will give you the opportunity to do this.

3.  Explore

This one seems a little out of place probably but it is also a very important part of this event.  The Partner Pavilion is a place to see first hand all of the partner products and add-on that work inside of and with SolidWorks.  This is also something that you will not be able to do anywhere else, at least not at the same time.  There are a lot of products out there that could benefit your line of work greatly and you might never know about them if you don’t see them.  The Partner Pavilion is a great place to see these products.

So there you have it.  A brief list of why this even is so important to go to.  I will breakdown each of these areas more in depth in upcoming posts along with how to convince management to send you.  If you have seen enough and are ready to sign on the dotted line all you need to do is register.
