SWW 2012 is just around the corner.  I just saw a request for a call for presentations.  If you have a good idea for a presentation head here https://solidworksworld.wingateweb.com/portal/cfp/cfpLogin.ww;jsessionid=abcUqhVlqR5I1eRBY-iet to enter your idea and volunteer to stand in front of 10 to 1000 people and give a speech.  Speakers get free entry into SWW and some other SWAG.
