3DVision's Guide to SOLIDWORKS World 2013

It’s 1:15am on a Friday night.  The wife and the baby have been asleep for hours.  Where am I?  In my office talking aloud to myself while rehearsing my SOLIDWORKS World presentations.  Not quite as breathtaking as Rocky Balboa doing one-handed push-ups and beating down cow carcasses, but to each his own, I suppose.  Regardless, there’s plenty to be excited about this year.  So while you pack your bags to head to Orlando, keep the following events and presentations in mind for next week.

Exclusive CSWE (Certified SOLIDWORKS Expert) Event

This is the very first year SOLIDWORKS has upped the prerequisite certification from CSWP to CSWE.  Last year, there were about 900 CSWP’s at the event, and there’s only about 200 CSWE’s expected to attend this year.  Though this has some CSWP’s feeling a bit left out, it only means bigger door prizes and grand prizes for the rest of us.  :  )

Almost our entire technical team will be going, and two very special customers will be joining us.  Craig Riedel and Jerry Kassil of Beckett Gas, Inc (in that order) were the very first (and only) non-VAR employees to earn this pinnacle certification in Ohio and Kentucky.  Congratulations!!!  Below is the list of certified CSWE’s in the two states as proof.

I’m really looking forward to the event this year, and I hope to see you there.  In the meantime, you can stay tuned to my tweets of #SWW13.
