solidworks world 2011…general sessions

In my continued series of why you should make a point to be in San Antonio, Texas in January 2011 for SolidWorks WORLD 2011, I want to discuss the General Sessions that are held each morning of the conference.

On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 8:30 – 10:00 AM a General Session is held for all of the attendees at SolidWorks WORLD.  On Monday and Tuesday, this usually consists of some big name speakers.  In the past, these speakers have included Richard Branson and James Cameron among others.  These speakers do not always have a direct tie to SolidWorks but often have a connection to the engineering field or at least can give inspiration to the designers in the audience.

On Wednesday (and portions of Monday and Tuesday) you also see a preview of technology to come.  Specifically, on Wednesday you get a sneak peak at the next release of SolidWorks.  So in January, you will get a chance to see SolidWorks 2012 for the first time.

All in all, these general sessions are AWESOME!  There is really too much to write here without boring you to death.  I feel that the general sessions alone are worth the price of admission.

If you have any other questions about what happens in these general sessions feel free to comment here or send me an email.  I would love to give you more information.
