As Richard, Jeff, and Devon have mentioned, the registration page for SolidWorks World 2008, January 20-23, 2008 in San Diego, CA, is now live.  So head on over there and sign up!

If you’ve never been, it is an awesome experience!  Not only do you get 3 days of SolidWorks training in all kinds of different topics of your choosing, but you get to network with fellow SolidWorks users, employees, VARs, and third party developers.  In the General Session every morning, there is always an interesting keynote and they also show some sneak peeks of the upcoming release, which will be SolidWorks 2009 by then!  You also get to see some very interesting and innovative products that have been designed using SolidWorks in the Product Showcase.

SolidWorks also has a few resources to help you prove your case for attending, if needed.  They have several "Boss Justification" letters that you can use to justify attending the conference.

So, sign up and I will see you in San Diego in January!

Ok, ok, I know I’m a couple of weeks late, and a few dollars short (I actually made some money, thanks to per diem – but I digress…), but hey, I’m just getting the blog up and rolling! 

I did actually write up a few articles on my experiences at SolidWorks World 2007 in New Orleans over at mCADForums (I even made the front page at sdotson.com!).  The threads have comments too, so instead of copying and pasting the articles over here, I’ll just give you the links:

I also have some of the pictures I took in an online album.  Here is my favorite one:

Needless to say, it was very exciting seeing what’s in store for SolidWorks 2008!  I’m already planning on attending SolidWorks World 2008 next year, which will be held January 20-24, 2008 in San Diego, CA.
