Power<\/h4>\n

SolidWorks World <\/a>is a big event with thousands of attendees.\u00a0 Due to the rise of mobile electronic devices in the past few years, an interesting problem as arisen.\u00a0 On a normal day, your smartphone’s battery charge may last a day or two without any worries.\u00a0 However, no day at SolidWorks World is normal.\u00a0 Even on the most battery efficient devices, you are likely to\u00a0need power to recharge at some point during the day.\u00a0 With 2012, this need is even more obvious with the new and\u00a0highly useful\u00a0SolidWorks World 2012 mobile application<\/a>, in addition to other mainstays\u00a0like social media, calendering, phone calls to your associates and other attendees you plan to meet, etc.<\/p>\n

My personal advice is to always have a spare battery on hand, whether you are using a laptop, smartphone, other mobile devices, or any combination thereof.\u00a0\u00a0Also, scope out power outlets\u00a0wherever\u00a0you happen to be.\u00a0 This applies while you are at the conference, and more so also after hours while you are out and about and when your device is most likely to be low on power.\u00a0 If you have a smartphone and a laptop, you may be able to charge\u00a0your phone from the laptop via the normal USB connection.\u00a0\u00a0Finally, the most obvious thing of all, don’t forget any of the charging cables.\u00a0 Make sure they are on your checklist!<\/p>\n

Wifi<\/h4>\n

Another growing need is connectivity via wifi.\u00a0 Those of us with smartphones may not be as tethered.\u00a0 However, don’t rely on cellphone carrier signal for data connections while inside of the conference center.\u00a0 Even an Andriod on a free data plan\u00a0may need to switch over to wifi to access the Internet at some point.\u00a0 SolidWorks provides several wifi\u00a0hotspots throughout the conference center.<\/p>\n

Regardless to the type of device you use, scope out the locations of these hotspots a head of time so you aren’t left without data connection at an inconvenient moment.\u00a0 Even still, there will be many other people accessing the wifi at the same time, so please avoid downloading big files or streaming videos.\u00a0 I personally recommend hitting the hotspots for specific connectivity needs, then quickly moving on.<\/p>\n

Good luck and I hope to see you at\u00a0SolidWorks World next week!<\/p>\n
