Greetings! It is now autumn of 2026, and 3DEXPERIENCE World 2027 is fast approaching in early 2027 in Nashville. We are looking forward to another great event, as well as seeing old friends and making new ones!
One of the benefits for customers attending the conference every year was the ability to get certified for free. This year, we will have the full set of testing rooms available for live certification testing on Sunday, February 14th. The Certification team has always informally nicknamed this day “Certification Sunday,” and just like last year, for those who can’t make it to the conference early, we will also offer one room for testing on Monday, February 15th.
On Certification Sunday, February 14th, we will offer two testing sessions: the first from 10am – 2pm CT, and the second from 3pm – 7pm CT. On Monday, February 15th, we will only offer one testing session. The time for the Monday exam session is yet to be determined. You can sign up for the exam sessions for both days through the 3DEXPERIENCE World app.
Almost all of our Certification exams, including the Expert-level exam, will be offered. In fact, if you are qualified to take the Expert exam and pass on Sunday or Monday, you can attend our Certified Expert party on Monday night, February 15th.
Those who take an exam on Certification Sunday or Monday will also receive access to two additional exams that can be taken anytime between February 28, 2027 — March 31, 2027. If you cannot join us on Sunday or Monday, we understand! You’ll, however, still receive access to one exam that can be taken anytime between February 28, 2027 and March 31, 2027.
The live Certification sessions represent a lot of hard work for our team, in coordination with our colleagues in hosting, to support so many users. The atmosphere is always electric during these events, as it allows us to meet many of our users face-to-face. We are always grateful for all who make the effort to show up at the conference and sit for up to three hours or more to take a Certification exam.
The other big event our team organizes at each year’s conference is the Certified Expert party. To attend this party, you must have attained your Certified SOLIDWORKS Expert (CSWE) certification in CAD Design or Simulation. The party is a celebration of our highest-level certification holders. This event always takes place on the Monday evening of the conference and includes great food, drinks and games.
The planning for this party is still underway, and we usually release the details only a week or two before the conference. If you are a long-time SOLIDWORKS user and plan to attend 3DEXPERIENCE World 2027, challenge yourself to attain the Expert certification and become a member of this elite group.
So, will you join us for 3DEXPERIENCE World 2027 in Nashville? If so, be sure to comment where you’ll be joining, and we’ll see you soon!
