The Longest Presentation I've Ever Done – and Nobody Fell Asleep

By

When EISWUG leader Brandy Tyler told me I was the only presenter on the agenda for Tuesday's three hour meeting, I was sure it wasn't going to last that long.  I put together a Tips and Tricks session with a little SolidWorks World/SWUGN/Community information sprinkled in, but I never imagined that I could go on (and on, and on) for 2-1/2 hours.

The attendees were very gracious, and willing to particpate.  We had lots of questions and discussion about SolidWorks.  When I asked after the presentation if everyone had learned at least one thing, they all said that they had – and that's the main goal of a user group meeting.

I'm scheduled for one more meeting this week, but I'll have to cut back a little.  I'm not the only presenter - Jeremy Owen from Tridaq will be covering 3DVia and PDMWorks Thursday night, leaving me less time.  I'm having a hard time deciding what to cut though…

Maybe I'll just talk really, really fast.
