Now that I've looked at the schedule closer, there's a hard break starting at 3:45pm. That's where you'll find the food and drinks, and hundreds of people. There are some great sessions starting at 4:30pm, so break away from the goodies a little early and get a good seat.<\/p>\n

Tom Salomone, Hewlett-Packard<\/em><\/strong>
If you've been to enough SolidWorks World conferences, you've probably seen Tom at least a few times. You just may not know him by name. This session might change that. Formerly a Senior Engineering Manager at HP, Tom is now the worldwide Manager of the Mechanical Design Automation segment, responsible for marketing<\/strike> showing which computer products are best for CAD. This session will cover hardware, graphics cards, and operating systems and what works best for SolidWorks.<\/p>\n
Keith Pedersen, CAPINC
<\/em><\/strong>When an East Coast user group needs a good presentation, Keith is one of the guys they know they can turn to. This session sounds very interesting, a combination of Weldment functionality coupled with some advanced tools to help speed the creation and editing of Weldments.<\/p>\n
Julie Napolitan, SolidWorks Corporation<\/em><\/strong>
The first time Julie did this session, everything was going smoothly until…well, let's just say there was a hiccup or two. Since then, she's been taking tap dancing lessons and refining the presentation. There's a great deal of very good information for plastic part designers, and Julie will cover things like snaps, lips and grooves, and draft. And who knows…she might even do a little soft-shoe if things don't work out perfectly.<\/p>\n
Bernadette Currie, Kwantlen Polytechnic and Ben Berkmortel, Seon Design
<\/em><\/strong>Any session with the word "awesome" in the title has to be a good one. Both presenters carry impressive resumes, and Ben was a highly ranked speaker at SolidWorks World 2009. If you are looking for strategies to build robust assembly models, attend this session.<\/p>\n
Mark Biasotti, SolidWorks Corporation<\/em><\/strong>
Mark Biasotti. Advanced Modeling in SolidWorks. Enough said.<\/p>\n
