We are finally here, the last tech news show of 2013 and I feel like SWW13 just ended. With SolidWorks World just around the corner and the 2014 Top 10 Idea List closed, the sights are now set on late January. This year's SolidWorks World will be held in San Diego, CA on January 26-29 and still no word on this years speakers.
Service pack 1 is out for SolidWorks 2014 and many of you have probably read, watched or attended some events for the What's New feature set. Support call volume is picking up as many companies are beginning to upgrade now that the first service pack has been pushed.
The tech industry is a bit slower at this time of year since all the holiday season new products have shipped and we are in the buying season. I don't know about you but his is my favorite time of year to enjoy time with friends and family and reflect on the past year. 2014 will be an exciting year for tech and I hope SolidWorks will surprise us all this year at World! ~Lou
