Keynote Speakers at SOLIDWORKS World 2017 Aim to Inspire

By

At SOLIDWORKS World 2017, the goal is to inspire attendees so they can go back home feeling energized to create truly innovative designs. One way that is accomplished is by providing ample opportunities to network and share tips and tricks with the over five thousand like-minded peers. There is also the Partner Pavilion where you can get your hands on the newest technologies that further leverage the power of SOLIDWORKS. Attending break-out tech sessions will also teach you new skills and best practices to take your careers to the next level.

Each day starts off with general session presentations that will provide a fresh perspective on the future of design from the leading minds in science, engineering, and technology. The keynote lineup for SOLIDWORKS World 2017 includes a list of visionaries ready to provide you with new perspectives that will inspire your approach to design as well as customer mashups that pair SOLIDWORKS users with their customers to share their success stories of how SOLIDWORKS is helping them create the great designs of the future.
