I have attended the last 4 SW World Conferences and I enjoyed the conference as a whole this year but the Special Event seemed a little "low rent" to me. I look forward to the special event being a blast like the block party in San Diego or even the whole disney thing last year. But I was pretty disapointed this year. The tables where the food was being served had absolutely no lighting. People were using their cell phones as flashlights to see what they were putting on their plates. The band was ok but not great and the cars were cool to see. But overall the feel of the event didn't feel like a big event. If you haven't been to other SW World events, maybe ths was good for you. As for me the bar has been set high and it was a let down. On another note: what was up with the water and the other drinks at the Conference center during sessions. They seem to limit the amout of water available to us but there was coffee galore. I damn near died of thirst every day during sessions. Those who have been to past events know that this was a scale back, big time.SolidworksSolidworks World 2011 And The Top Ten List
