This Year’s Speakers

Our General Sessions begin tomorrow, February 9th, at 10:00AM ET. This year’s speakers represent nearly every industry so you are sure to find inspiration. Here are some of this year’s speakers:

Frank Stephenson is now applying his design expertise to a wide range of projects that move beyond the realms of automotive design. That industry is where he earned acclaim as lead designer and design director at major carmakers such as McLaren, Ferrari, Maserati, Fiat and MINI.

Titan Gilroy, CEO of TITANS of CNC, founder and star of the TITANS of CNC television show on MAVTV, and creator of the TITANS of CNC: Academy and Aerospace Academy is partnering with SOLIDWORKS to share his opinion as to why the 3DEXPERIENCE WORKS portfolio is essential for teaching design to manufacturing at the academy. You can read more about this exciting partnership here.

Brent Bushnell, CEO & Co-Founder of Two Bit Circus, a LA-based experiential entertainment company, will share how he uses technology, design and engineering to inspire inventors. Brent is an engineer and entrepreneur passionate about STEM, and previously created STEAM Carnival, a traveling event to inspire kids about science, technology, engineering, art and math.

Matt Carney, who you may remember from the main stage at 3DEXPERIENCE World 2020 and our SOLIDWORKS Live interview thereafter, has pivoted during the pandemic into manufacturing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). He’ll give you a glimpse into what it’s like to crowdsource ideas, and collaborate with engineers worldwide to design a protective respirator.

Jason Pohl, best known for his long career at Orange County Choppers, is now an independent designer at Jason Pohl LLC. Jason’s enthusiasm for design, innovation, problem solving, and creativity is bound to inspire you to look outside the box next time you start a new project. We also did a recent Born to Design Podcast with Jason. If you missed it, you can check it out here.

Virtual Shop Floor

Take a virtual tour of three design and manufacturing customers who are innovating and pushing the boundaries of automation and technology. Our customers will include Speedway Motors, and TMCO along with Titans of CNC—all pushing the boundaries of meeting today’s demands future manufacturing challenges.

From design to simulation and manufacturing, attendees will get a chance to learn and ask questions about how they can benefit from automation and new paradigms in the manufacturing process.
