If you are in the Northern California area, you’ve may have already seen an email from one of the SolidWorks User Groups about the upcoming SWUGN Technical Summit <\/a>at the Embassy Suites in Milpitas<\/a>.\u00a0 SWUGN Technical Summits are day-long SolidWorks based conferences scheduled about once a month at\u00a0different locations throughout North America.\u00a0 Each summit generally offers the choice of 10 sessions within 5 time slots.\u00a0 Each session offers a detailed look at particular SolidWorks related topics which are geared towards all levels of experience.\u00a0 The San Jose summit is on March 23, 2010 and will feature presentations by SolidWorks Product Managers, local independent SolidWorks and VAR experts.\u00a0 Among the presenters are\u00a0a couple of first-timers, Gabi Jack <\/a>(Bay Area) and Alex Ruiz<\/a> (driving up from SoCal).\u00a0 I’ll be presenting a session on advanced customization techniques.\u00a0 If you’d like to see a particular customization topic covered in my session, leave a comment here.\u00a0 Right now, I plan to talk about customization of hole callouts, Hole Wizard holes, Shortcut Tool, Mouse Gestures, and Sheet Metal Gage Tables.\u00a0 (I’m also thinking about\u00a0the Custom Properties Tab Builder, but that is a topic all to its own, so I may save that for another time.)<\/p>\n

The cost to attend the SWUGN Technical Summit is only $40.\u00a0 This is a bargain by almost any measure.\u00a0 Similar types of conferences can cost $800 or more.\u00a0 Check out the SWUGN Technical Summit <\/a>website for session details and registration.<\/p>\n

OK, and now for some fun.\u00a0 At the San Jose summit on March 23, 2010, the first person to come up to me and says “SolidWorks Legion is awesome, dude” will\u00a0earn\u00a0a free CSWP test of their choice (does not include the new CSWE test).\u00a0 The second person who says that line to me will earn a free SolidWorks hot-cold insulated mug.\u00a0 Don’t try to be the first person and repeating the line twice. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Also, SolidWorks employees, VAR employees and other presenters are not eligable to earn these items.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
