At some point in the future, I believe it will make sense to move the Trainers Forum to the Partner Communities on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. More and more of SOLIDWORKS' discussions with our resellers are moving in that direction. Hopefully you noticed that The Download newsletter for October 2019 included links to the PS Partners WW Technical Services community. It has been great to see the comments on our stories in The Download turning the "one-way" newsletter into a "two-way" discussion.

I'd like your input on the idea of moving the Trainers Forum to the Partner Communities on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.

• Good idea or bad? Pros and cons?
• Should we keep all training discussions in the PS Partners WW Technical Services community where we post The Download stories or do you think we need a separate, private area reserved just for trainers?

Please comment to share your thoughts.

Best regards,

Joe Rousseau

Learning Experience Director, SOLIDWORKS

P.S. Ian Baxter wrote the following in The Download regarding access to the PS Channel Partners tenant:

"Starting today, you will notice that all of the articles in The Download contain a link to a post in the new PS Channel Partners Communities. This will allow you to ask questions and access content the moment we release it. You can also get updates from the DS SolidWorks Sales, Subscription, and Marketing teams in a single location. If you have not received an invitation to join the PS Channel Partners tenant, please contact sandrine.garriot@3ds.com or andreas.kulik@3ds.com to request access."
