SWUGN Year in Review - July 2009

Richard Doyle's Community Blog

Top Story
The SWUGN Summit - Columbus draws 105 attendees, far above the expected turnout.  The event features 10 different presenters, and is represented by 5 different user groups.  Many of the presenters were doing their first ever sessions, and all of them did an outstanding job.  The hands-on 3D controller session by Dan Bertschi was also the first of it's kind at a Summit [1] event.

Honorable Mentions
The new SolidWorks Forums [2] are launched to much fanfare.  The new (and working) search tool makes the entire effort worthwhile.

Ricky Jordan gets lost [3] on his way to visit relatives.  He eventually finds his way, but not before everyone on Twitter gets to hear the story - LIVE.

The SolidWorks World Call-for-Papers [4] is announced.  Now we can all get really excited.
