September 21 – SWUGN technical summit in Cincinnati

Friday, August 13th, 2010

Back on March 8th, SolidWorks announced they will be holding SWUGN technical summits again. Some people in the crowd saw there was one scheduled to be in Cincinnati but noticed there were no details about the event. I see now, details are posted.

The event will take place on September 21st at the Sharonville Convention Center near I-275 and I-75.

This will be my third technical summit and I am looking forward to it, they really put on a good show. Read the SolidWorks blog to learn more about what goes on during a summit.

See you there.

Columbus SWUGN Technical Summit

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

I was going to start this entry with “you missed a great summit”, but few of you actually did miss it. Yesterday’s technical summit had a great turnout, over 100 people were there! It was a good show. I thought the facilities were a bit small, most of the sessions had people standing in the back of the room. Even the standing people felt it was worth it.

This pic is of Richard Wand giving his weldment presentation. He continually turned his head every time I tried to take his picture. Finally I decided to just take the picture anyway.

The presentations were obviously great opportunities to learn, I picked up a few little tricks -but I enjoyed the opportunity to finally meet Dave Bartholomew – Northeast Ohio SolidWorks User Group leader during lunch. He is one of those guys who everyone knows for the good that he does for the SolidWorks community and it was nice to finally put a face with the name.

For those of you who saw Randy’s and my presentation, we were trying to decide if we should present it at SolidWorks world. Since there weren’t any survey forms, what do you think?

SWUGN Technical Summit – Columbus

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

You know the best way to keep up with technology is to interface with others. You also know that SolidWorks World is one of the best places to do this. Regrettably, it is sometimes hard to get an entire week off…besides who wants to go to Southern California or Florida when you live so much closer to Columbus Ohio?

All is not lost. There still is time (though not much) to sign up for Tuesday’s SWUGN Technical Summit in Columbus. Randy Simmons and I will be presenting: “In and Out of a PDM World” – showing basic strategies for file management for PDM users and non-users alike.

Just a single day, nine other breakout sessions, plus they feed you lunch too. (You knew there would be free food involved, otherwise I’d stay home.)
