Get ready for COExperience 2019 taking place February 24-27 in fabulous New Orleans. More than 650 users of Dassault Systèmes solutions are expected to gather for this annual user event featuring the latest 3DEXPERIENCE offerings, hands on learning, best practices from leading companies, and many networking opportunities. This year’s conference will include many more user presentations than in the past, creating significant value for all attendees. Users will also share and learn from each other how to best utilize all the solutions Dassault Systèmes provides. COExperience Conference Chair Roger Joyal shares some insights about the 2019 event, below.
“Wow!” is all I can say when I look at the program grid for each day. During each time slot, I have multiple sessions circled for my own learning. Mini-tracks are really exciting to me, including topics such as Additive Manufacturing and Electro-Mechanical Engineering, allowing sessions to build on each other throughout the day. We have many new user companies presenting fresh ideas to attendees.
Another exciting offering this year is the Leaders’ Summit, which allows us ‘technical folk’ to bring along our managers. This will allow you to attend your technical sessions while your management attends sessions specifically tailored for them, helping them gain a better understanding of the Dassault Systèmes products you are so enthused to implement at your company.
The Dassault Systèmes product sessions are always a favorite of mine as well. It’s in these sessions that I learn about Dassault Systèmes’ latest-and-greatest developments. Being a hands-on person, I tend to focus on COE University, where I learn very quickly from the exercises. An old favorite session returns: CATBench, which allows users to learn about hardware improvements and how it affects Dassault Systèmes product efficiencies.
There are many sessions on the grid, occurring at the same time, which attendees will be interested in. The only way to solve that dilemma is to bring multiple users (and managers!) from your company. The vast coverage of topics includes two rooms of hands-on learning, numerous round tables, user-company experiences, Dassault Systèmes sharing the latest and greatest efficiencies, pre-conference workshops, an amazing TechniFair of vendors, networking luncheons…I could go on and on! Honestly, the high-quality content within COExperience will drive this to be the largest COE conference attendance in years.
