Solidworks World Day .5

Solidworks World 2007 Day .5

So why day .5 and not day one? Well the conference doesn't officially
kick off until Monday, so we will stick with the terminology!

Anyhow, for me today was all about the CSWP exam. After walking 6
blocks to the convention center, I find the registration area, and
check in. This year the goodie bag is an actual tote bag. So instead
of a t-shirt, we all have a nice looking bag to take all our goods
along with us for the week.

The convention center looks pretty good. Not a sign at all of what
happened here in 2005. The place is very large, and there are three
floors to spread out all the break out sessions. At 2 pm the partner
pavilion opened. I spent the first hour in the Solidworks booth
manning the User Group Kiosk, and got to meet some interesting
people. The pavilion is very spacious compared to last year, so its
very easy to get around. All the usual players are here: HP,
3DConnexion, AMD...... There was plenty of finger food, beer, and wine to
go around.

At 4:30 it was time to head over to the Superbowl party sponsored by
HP. I will say they did a fantastic job, lots of Creole style food,
and again plenty of free beer and wine!

So that's day .5, its pretty much a day to do pre conference stuff,
and tomorrow morning at 8am, the real fun begins!

Oh, and if your wondering about the CSWP exam, I passed, so I get to
go to the offsite event with them tomorrow night!

Keep an eye out tomorrow afternoon for a round up of day 1 morning
session!

 

How did you find out that you passed? They said the grades would be
emailed, but I still haven't received anything. Did they post them on
the bulletin board?

 

As far as I have heard, they were up untill about 11 lastnight getting
the grades finished. There was also going to be a poster near
registration showing scores. As of now (1:00 local) they are setting
up the registration area for tonights CSWP event. There is someone
there that would be able to answer your question if you havent heard
yet. Good luck

 

I never did get the email, but I did check the board this morning and
I passed. I waited in line to get my certificate and t shirt at
5:30. I later realized someone else received a CSWP folder. I went
back and they gave me one. Did they give anything else away?
