SolidWorks World 2011 is just over two months away and I’m getting really excited for it. It’ll be the 7th time I’ve had the opportunity to go, and I know I’ll be just as blown away as I have been the 6 previous times. There’s something awe-inspiring when you see 5000+ SolidWorks geeks coming together for three days of learning and networking.
This time around we’re going to be in(vading) San Antonio, Texas from January 23rd to the 26th. I expect that I’ll come away as overloaded with information as I have in years past. I’m looking forward to hitting a couple of Simulation sessions, checking out the partner pavilion and seeing old friends. I’ve also requested interviews with a few SolidWorks employees; Matthew West, Rick Chin and Asheen Phansey. Matt is SolidWorks’ Social Media Manager. I’m quite sure this means he does more than post on Twitter, so I’m going to find out. Rick is the director of Product Innovation. I plan on using whatever means of torture necessary to find out what he and his team have up their sleeves. Asheen is the Product Manager for Sustainability. Asheen and I have sparred a bit in the past, so I’m really looking forward to sitting down with him, assuming my interview request is accepted. I’ll be working up questions to ask all three, so let me know if there’s something you’d like answered.
One of my other great pleasures is walking around the Partner Pavilion and checking out all the great products that work with SolidWorks. I’ve gotten off track when it comes to doing product reviews, but I’m hoping to rectify that situation at World this year.
Are you going? What are you looking forward to seeing/doing?
