I am a big proponent of SW Usergroups, and what they provide. Here is another reason: SWUGN Technical Summits are one-day training and networking events scheduled monthly in cities around the US. These events are hosted by the SolidWorks User Group Network and feature: Your choice of two technical tracks General SolidWorks functionality Sheet metal tools Drawings Weldments 2D/3D Sketching Assembly modeling SolidWorks Add-in product sessions PhotoWorks SolidWorks Animator eDrawings Mold Design Breakfast and lunch SolidWorks Partner presentations (during lunch) A chance to network with your peers Click the link for the event nearest you for more information. Registration fees for SWUGN Technical Summits are .00 per person and includes everything. Listed Locations: Houston, TX- Apr 6th San Jose, CA - Apr 18th Denver, Co - May 23rd Boston, MA - Jun 20th Kansas City, MO - Jul 25th Seattle, WA - Aug 22nd Charlotte, NC - Sep 19th San Diego, CA - Oct 24th Tampa, FL - Nov 14th [URL]http://www.swugn.org/pages/summit/SWUGN_Technical_Summit.html[/URL] This looks like a pretty good deal! I would definately try to make it to one of these if you can. Also without the support of the Usergroup community, this wouldnt be possible, so you may want to consider looking up your local group and support them by attending a meeting.
