SWUGN Summit – San Jose

By

Another SWUGN Summit went off without a hitch last week as 80+ users converged on the Hilton – Santa Clara in sunny California. Most of the attendees were there to see the technical sessions and they weren’t disappointed. Phil Sluder, proving that he’s more than just Mr. Tips and Tricks, presented sessions on SolidWorks Animator and PhotoWorks that were very well received. Matthew Cummins of B & N Industries was the hit of the event with his outstanding session on assembly modeling. As I made my way through the crowd leaving his session, I heard comments like “fascinating”, “terrific”, and “we need to get this guy to SolidWorks World”. Looks like we’ll be seeing more of Matthew’s stuff early next year.


My thanks go out to all the attendees, to Phil Sluder for making the trip all the way from San Diego, and to Jeremy Stadtmueller and Sal Lama of SolidWorks for filling in at the last minute. And special thanks to Silicon Valley SolidWorks User Group leader Wade Barnett for all his help setting up the event and notifying his group members. I look forward to a return trip next year.


On to the SWUGN Summit – Denver, May 23rd
