John McEleney CEO
SolidWorks Corporation 
User groups are a valuable resource to all members of the SolidWorks community. The ability to network with peers and partners helps your company become more productive. These groups share information and technical presentations that provide valuable real-world experiences, techniques, and methodologies. Take the time to find your local user group and join a meeting. If there is not one in your area, think about starting one. In addition, SolidWorks Corporation hosts an annual international conference every year that is attended by SolidWorks users worldwide. Next year's conference will be held January 19th - 22nd in Orlando, Florida at the Coronado Springs Hotel in Walt Disney World. I hope to see you there!
