Disclosure:

DS SolidWorks provides me with a non-commercial license of SolidWorks Premium. They have also invited me to press events and conferences, such as SolidWorks World, free of charge and, at times, they have also provided for accomodations, some meals and transportation. I don't, however, receive any payment for blogging or instructions on what I should write about. Everything that I post in this blog is my own opinion and does not reflect or represent in any way the ideas of DS SolidWorks.

After an incredibly long flight… Oh, wait; it only took about an hour to get to Anaheim from San Jose.Err, never mind… The important thing is that I’m here in Anaheim right now, already registered and ready for SolidWorks 2010.

Today is a slow day for me. Unlike some of my bloggers friends, I haven’t got any meetings or special sessions going on, so I’m killing some time, writing this post, while waiting for the welcoming reception at the Partner’s Pavilion this evening.

I wandered around, taking some pictures, spying on people, and trying to learn the location of the different rooms where the sessions will take place tomorrow. The convention center is huge and the whole setting for the event  is really nice.  They really did a great job putting it together this year! I’m certainly glad that this time I won’t have to run from one building to another in order to make it in time for a session. It seems like everything is pretty much under one roof this year, which is good.

Here’s a picture from the registration area. Just look at all those friendly folks, ready to lend a hand with the registration to the event!

The folks were friendly, but I actually registered upstairs, since I was invited as member of the press.  Here, right next to the press room, Nancy Buchino had everything already taken care for me.

Insid the press room, I ran into a couple of journalists I had met at a previous event in Barcelona, Al Dean and Kenneth Wong. I had also previously ran into three of my bloggers friends: Jeff Mirisola, Matt Lorono and Alex Ruiz (a.k.a. SolidWorks Geek). Alex was very kind to drive us all to the RainForest Cafe, were we had lunch together. Well, they had lunch and I joined them with a cup of coffee and a slice of cake because I had already eaten lunch when I ran into them. It’s always nice to find some familiar faces.

As I mentioned before, today was a busy day for some. There were quite a few sessions going on, a boot camp for CAD administrators and, I think, testing for CSWP and CSWA.  I guess some folks had already had enough for one day?
