Are you as excited as I am? SolidWorks World 2011 starts this Sunday, the 23rd!

This is the first instalment in a series of articles covering SolidWorks World 2011

Not too long ago, when we were kids, we used to count the sleeps to Christmas; two more nights and Santa would come. I have the same feeling now – just two more days and we will be joining more than 5000 SolidWorks users in the greatest 3D design, simulation and product development conference and exhibition show on Earth in beautiful San Antonio, Texas.
