I had planned on telling you about all the new functionality in SolidWorks 2010, but the "new" technology I was using failed me. I had downloaded a voice recorder for my iPhone so I could just record what was said instead of writing notes and the recording is inaudible. No worries though, I know that many of my fellow bloggers, if not all of them, have posted about what's new.
This was my busiest SWW yet, and I didn't even make it to one break out session. Between meeting with partner product reps, interviews and meetings, I just could seem to make it to the sessions I wanted to go to. Nonetheless, I wouldn't have missed it for the world. The folks at SolidWorks pulled off another fantastic event. Well organized, high spirited and just plain fun. It never ceases to amaze me how approachable all the SW employees are from Jeff Ray down. Believe it or not, as exhausted as I am, I can't wait for next year's conference in Anaheim!
Another bonus of coming here is to be able to truly meet, and spend time with, all those I've met on the forums, in the blogosphere and on Twitter. Of course, there's seeing those that I've met before as well as meeting new people. It's really hard to decide what the best part of any SolidWorks World is. It's all just such an awesome experience.
For next year's conference, I'm going to have to be better prepared. I had worked my schedule around breakout sessions I wanted to attend; ones that pertained to my previous job. With the change in jobs, my preferences changed but that led to conflicts with other scheduled meetings and interviews. Live and learn.
I started writing this yesterday, sitting in the lobby of the Dolphin Hotel, but finished it at my parent's rental in Ormond Beach today. There were just too many people walking by that I wanted to say goodbye to, to be able to finish. I fly home tomorrow afternoon. I can't wait to get home and see my boys this weekend and then start my new job on Monday!
Spring training is just around the corner…Go Sox!
