We are just weeks away from SWWC 2012 and much of the news is related to contests, attendees and partners that will be at the conference this year. With one of the speakers announced (Tony Fadell), I am starting to get excited to go and see many friends that I only get to see at SWWC.
I am starting to compile my list of breakouts and partners I am going to visit. Remember, if you are unable to attend this year's SolidWorks World Conference, visit the Live Coverage page to sign up for the live blogs. Also submit your sessions that you would like coverage of by emailing me at lou 'at' solidworksheard.com or on any other networks you choose to get your votes in. I will post notes are well on the page.
I hope to see many of you at SolidWorks World and look forward to bringing as much of the show to you that I can. It is an exhausting and exciting week so I have a lot of planning to still do! ~Lou
