SolidWorks World 2009 Opening Day
Wow! What a great day this was. I headed out from Huntsville, AL early and ended up in Orlando, FL at SolidWorks World 2009. The first ever SolidWorks (SW) Tweetup was held in the lobby of the Disney Dolphin hotel where we are staying. I was reacquainted with some SW folks and met a lot of great new ones thanks in part to Twitter and also to Matthew West of The SolidWorks BLOG who hosted the get together. As is the case with the whole event, the Tweetup was an excellent place to network and find out more in-depth information about SW people, their companies and how to best utilize the relationships that are being created. It was amazing to me to sit and listen to all the people talk passionately about one of the things I’m so passionate about. It is also nice to talk to someone who understands the issues faced daily in using, implementation, networking, training….. and all the other things you must do for a CAD package in an office. If tonight is any indication of how the days will go, then this is going to be a blast! Hang on to your seats SolidWorks folks who are reading this.
