Orlando User Group Meeting

Visiting customers in Orlando, Florida to learn from them on how to improve SOLIDWORKS applications

I’ve been to Orlando, FL a couple times in the past. Each time was for SOLIDWORKS World. For the first time in many years, I’ve come to Orlando again. But, this time I came to visit customers directly and to participate in the user group meeting for the Greater Orlando SOLIDWORKS User Group.

The user group meeting was held at Disney University, though typically it is happens at other locations in the area. We gathered around in an unusual configuration. This was sort of a roundtable discussion, rather than the more traditional slideshow or live demonstration.

In addition to participating in the local user group meeting, several SOLIDWORKS team members and I stayed longer to visit with customers to learn firsthand how they are using SOLIDWORKS products. These meetings involve directly learning from the end-users on how these products can be improve to better suit customer needs.

Exploring the Town

Did I do anything else while in town? What’s really there to do in Orlando? We did find an interesting restaurant; and after-hours we ended up at some fun locations.
