SolidWorks World 2013 in Orlando, FL is based in the Swan and Dolphin Hotel
inside Disney World. Nearby is a man-made lake with a boardwalk around it.
Florida's natural lakes are not as pretty.
Matt West, SolidWorks social media guru, lists some of the metrics of online
success. Did you know YouTube is the 2nd most popular search function, 2nd to
Google? SolidWorks corporate blogs got 1.1 million page views in 2012.
I don't like to brag, but..." SolidWorks goes over 2 million users,
announces CEO Bertrand Sicot. Of this number, about 800,000 are
industry users, the rest have educational seats.
Dassault CEO Bernard Charles again tries to explain the 3DEXPERINCE. Halo around his head is purely unintentional.
Bernard gives an overview of Dassault, of which SolidWorks is a part.
Bernard proud of Dassault being among Forbes top "innovative companies." Zoom
in and you can see they are ahead of PTC, Autodesk and SAP.
Bernard determined to raise the global awareness of Dassault. Here he shows a few of Dassault's ads. If you have gone through a major airport recently, you
have probably done a double take. Trade press is conspiciously absent.
Feel worn out after a flight? Try breaking sound barrier - without an
airplane. Hearing about Felix Baumgartner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Baumgartner)
Keynote speakers detail how they sent Felix to a height of 128,000 feet and had
him jump, going over Mach 1 on the way down -- and surviving! As the video showed him stepped off the gondola, all 4,500
people in the audience seemed to hold their breath.
Mcor prints anything --including an all too lifelike head--using ordinary copy paper and some glue, and claims the lowest cost per model. Color models being done with their new Iris machine. http://www.mcortechnologies.com/
The press room lists over 125 media members invited to SolidWorks World 2013
SolidWorks CEO Bertrand Sicot makes the rounds on the exhibit floor, stopping
at the My.SolidWorks.com booth. My.SolidWorks.com, a customer information
portal, was announced at the show. In the foreground (in black) is Greg
Jankowski, author, and contributor for the portal.
