Solidworks 2005 Concern |
|

This is for the folks coordinating Solidworks World 2005. I have gotten the
OK from management, paid for Solidworks World 2005 along with travel and
accomadations. Now when I login to fill out my agenda; I find that every
session on Sunday is full. Are you going to make more room available either
by adding sessions or moving sessions to larger rooms? Will you be able to
increase the accomodations for some of the other popular sessions listed
later in the week that are now listed as full or wait list?

I have decided that I am not going to make more room for Sunday's
sessions. Just as well, as neither myself nor anyone on
comp.cad.solidworks has that authority (or do we?)
Perhaps contact SolidWorks directly.

The odds on getting a response from anyone involved with coordinating SWW
are pretty slim. Only of couple of people from SW ever post responses here.

Oh, come on, you spoiled my fun. I was going to tell him that there
would be a special room set aside for personal presentation requests,
just hang out in front of the womens rest room with a camera, and
someone would come shortly to take him there.

I'm in exactly the same boat. I'm travelling all the way from New Zealand
and was really hoping to attend the Cad Managers Boot Camp. I emailed
swworld and asked the question but they said the session was full. I
recommend you ask them the same question though as you never know what might
happen if they get enought requests..

Iain,
It seems that the ONLY way to stand a good chance of getting a seat for
a popular session is to be among the first to register for SolidWorks
World and then sign up immediately...
While I can understand the interest in keeping the participating
audience to a relatively small, managable size for easy interaction, I
do NOT see why the sessions couldn't be carried by video for an
interested (but passive) audience to view in other rooms of the
conference area.
I attended last year in Boston and felt as though I was being penalized
for not having registered soon enough. (Even meeting the early,
discounted registration deadline is far too late.)
Good Luck to all,
Per O. Hoel

All of your problems will be solved with the next SolidWorks World release
2006! Seems like SW would make accommodations for everyone that pays to
attend. Isn't that one of the reasons why companies require advance
registration? Guess not

Re: Solidworks 2005 Concern |

The early bird gets the worm.
I have, in the past, even been to sessions for which I was registered
and didn't get a seat. Many of the popular sessions are SRO. Part of
the problem is that SW has to fit an unknown quantity into a finite
sized building and agenda months ahead of time. Rooms come in fixed
sizes and everyone's time is orchestrated down to a few minutes. SW has
to have their people in every room and these same people have also been
scheduled for other things. SW has a lot of key people at these things
and they don't stop working at the show. So duplicating a session that
is popular is difficult or impossible to do. Getting a bigger room is
also difficult because of logistics and the layout of the facility. So
I guess one of the problems with success is finding the resources to
deal with such a crowd.
Perhaps you should get your VAR to obtain an SPR on this. Actually,
going to your VAR would be a good thing to do.

get to the session you want early, and sit down.
they don't take attendance, or at least they didn't last year--which is to
say they have no way of knowing who to kick out of an over-subscribed
session

That doesn't work for the round-table discussions. Last year they had people
posted outside the doors checking off names.
