SOLIDWORKS World 2018
will be held from Sunday, February 4th to Wednesday, February 7th in Los Angeles, California. SOLIDWORKS World is an annual conference where SOLIDWORKS users and resellers gather to network and learn more about specific topics and solutions in SOLIDWORKS, spanning everything from 3D CAD software and communications to data management.
SOLIDWORKS World is a great opportunity for people associated with or using SOLIDWORKS software to strengthen their skills and understanding of the software from experts in the field. In addition to over 200 breakout sessions, the conference also offers multiple networking opportunities for attendees, putting them in contact with SOLIDWORKS partners, entrepreneurs, solution providers and more.
What Topics Will Be Covered?
In addition to professional development and networking, SOLIDWORKS world is also a hotbed of breaking industry news. Exciting developments and announcements have come out of past SOLIDWORKS World Conferences; in one segment last year, conference attendees were able to learn about new features in SOLIDWORKS 2018, including new enhancements for 3D interconnect, an introduction to generative design, and the ability to input from a tablet.
Presenters also discussed the SOLIDWORKS 2018 ecosystems and the impact they would have on the design community. Engineers, manufacturers, and others interested in SOLIDWORKS should definitely consider attending SOLIDWORKS World if they want to stay ahead of the curve.

SOLIDWORKS World 2018 Breakout Sessions
Breakout sessions make up a large part of the SOLIDWORKS World conference, and this year the way breakout sessions are organized has been completely revamped. According to the SOLIDWORKS blog, attendees will pick from one of eleven Disciplines and then choose a Learning Path, which will guide them toward breakout sessions tailored to their interests.
