The board is set, the pieces are moving. We come to it at last…the great design and engineering event of 2016: SOLIDWORKS World. With so much going on, we want to create a one-stop checklist you can use to be prepared for a fun and productive event.

Social Media/Web:

Follow the conversation, stay up to date, and share your experience on Twitter by using the #SWW16 hashtag

Connect with SOLIDWORKS on social media. Keep an eye on the proceedings for exclusive access to content and promotions. We have several surprises for you! Here’s where you can find us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram

Scavenger Hunt!

This year in Dallas, 4 clues + 4 days + 4 pics = 4 awesome surprises!

Beginning Sunday, January 31, we’ll offer up a scavenger hunt clue on the @SOLIDWORKS Twitter account at 8am. Your job is to answer the clue with a photo using #SWW16.

On Wednesday, February 3, we’ll give you a top secret location where you will bring your smart phone and show us your clues. The first four attendees who arrive with all four clues will receive an exclusive event swagbag!
