The SolidWorks Technical Summit is coming to Los Angeles, CA<\/a><\/strong> on December 16, 2008!\u00c2\u00a0 A Technical Summit is a day long event that is is kinda like a SolidWorks miniWorld.\u00c2\u00a0 Included are sessions covering a wide range of SolidWorks topics to help users expand their knowledge and experience.\u00c2\u00a0 Technical Summits are held once a month at various locations throughout the United States and other countries.The line up of presenters for the Los Angeles Technical Summit beings promise of yet another powerful conference!<\/p>\n

Presenters <\/strong><\/p>\n

One inside heavy hitter is Hari Padmanabhan<\/strong>, who is experienced in presentations for CosmoWorks, now called SolidWorks Simulator.<\/p>\n

Another insider is Patrick Rainsberry<\/strong>, Territory Technical Manager, SolidWorks.\u00c2\u00a0 Mr. Rainsberry has been on the Summit circuit before, so he’s an experienced veteran.\u00c2\u00a0 He also can be seen at local SolidWorks User Groups from time to time, with demonstrations about the greatness SolidWorks’ current release.<\/p>\n

As icing on the cake, several blog squad members will be presenting sessions about various topics.\u00c2\u00a0 These include (in no particular order) Mike Puckett<\/a><\/strong>, Devon Sowell<\/a><\/strong>, Matt Lorono<\/a><\/strong> (oh wait a minute, that’s me!), and Anna Wood<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Then, of course we have the serial presenters Casey Gorman<\/strong>, Phil Sluder<\/strong>, and Richard Doyle<\/a><\/strong>, whose tireless contributions make SolidWorks User Groups and Technical Summits even possible.<\/p>\n

Return on investment <\/strong><\/p>\n

The great thing about the Technical Summits is that they are official SolidWorks Corp events.\u00c2\u00a0 They are only $40 to attend.\u00c2\u00a0 Attendees get to pick which sessions they will join.\u00c2\u00a0 Breakfast and Lunch are included (worth the price of admission alone).\u00c2\u00a0 If you are within the Los Angeles<\/strong> and San Diego <\/strong>areas, I highly recommend attending the LA summit!\u00c2\u00a0 If you are even within a 2 hour flight from Los Angeles<\/strong> (such as: San Francisco Bay Area<\/strong>, Sacramento<\/strong>, Las Vegas, NV<\/strong>, and Phoenix, AZ<\/strong>), I still recommend attending. If you are a supervisor with staff within these areas, I highly recommend sending the entire staff for the day.\u00c2\u00a0 They will easily come back with enough new knowledge to pay for the $40 and for the 1 day gone (and even the flight and one night hotel stay, if applicable), many times over.<\/p>\n

I’ve mentioned in the past that similar type summits in other industries can easily cost $800 for the day, and the quality and diversity of those presentations may not even equal what you will find at a SolidWorks Technical Summit.\u00c2\u00a0 This is likely the best bargain available in the industry.<\/p>\n

Matching game <\/strong><\/p>\n

In the meantime, let’s play a little game.\u00c2\u00a0 Match the head shot below with each name here:\u00c2\u00a0 Richard Doyle, Mike Puckett, Devon Sowell, Phil Sluder, Anna Wood, and Matt Lorono.<\/p>\n
