On the Sunday before SolidWorks World (Jan 31, 2010) we are hosting roundtable discussions and user feedback sessions at the Marriot Hotel in Anaheim. We know times are tough this year and a lot of people are not able to attend World. But we’d like to provide the opportunity for local users to attend our sessions for the day to give us feedback, even if they are not attending the conference.
 
Roundtables are an opportunity for you to influence the future of SolidWorks products in open discussions with peers and SolidWorks employees. User feedback sessions allow you to get a sneak peak at new functionality in SolidWorks 2011 and to let us know what you think. If you are interested, simply fill out the following survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BXNKYCN .
 
Thanks,
Melissa.
