17th Annual SWUGN Summit<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\nThe SOLIDWORKS User Group Network invites you to join over 100 user group leaders and officers at the annual SWUGN Summit meeting at SOLIDWORKS World. We\u2019ll look back at some of the history and some of the people responsible for creating the greatest user community in the CAD industry, and you\u2019ll hear from some very important guests. If you would like to hear more about SWUGN, learn about the benefits of belonging to a local SOLIDWORKS user group chapter, and have some fun in the process, join us at this special Monday afternoon meeting. The 17th Annual SWUGN meeting will be held on Monday, February 1st, 2016, from 4:30pm to 6:00pm – room number TBD.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Every year since 2000, the SWUGN Committee has hosted the SWUGN Summit meeting at SOLIDWORKS World.\u00a0 Always scheduled for Monday afternoon, more than 200 people skip one breakout session to attend this meeting – because its fun, informative, and in the case of SOLIDWORKS User Group<\/strong><\/a> leaders, required.\u00a0 We’ll talk, we’ll reminisce, we’ll laugh, and sometimes we’ll even cry (well.. mostly me).<\/span><\/p>\n

At the SWUGN Summit meeting, you’ll hear all about SWUGN – some history, the year in review, future plans, and highlights from around the network.\u00a0 Special guests will pop in from time to time, and you’ll hear from SOLIDWORKS executives and\u00a0the SOLIDWORKS Certification Team.\u00a0 On occasion, members of the Product Definition team make an appearance to thank group leaders for hosting them at local chapter meetings and helping to provide customer visits as part of the trip.\u00a0 SOLIDWORKS Resellers and SOLIDWORKS Partners are also a big part of the meeting, especially the winners of the annual SWUGN Reseller of the Year<\/strong> and SWUGN Partner of the Year<\/strong> awards.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve also got a special surprise this year.\u00a0 If you’re a history buff and a SOLIDWORKS Community fanatic, I think you’ll like what I have in store for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"SNUG\"<\/p>\n

So this year, go ahead and skip that Monday afternoon session (proceedings are always posted after the conference)\u00a0and come\u00a0hang out with some of the greatest\u00a0people on the planet, our SWUGN Group Leader and Officers<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n
