SMART User Group Meeting (Milwaukee) - June 2025

Jun 3, 10:00 PM – Jun 4, 12:15 AM (UTC)

SOLIDWORKS Milwaukee Area Resource Team

This will be a Live, In-Person event with food, in-person networking, live SOLIDWORKS presentations, and some door prizes from sponsors.  We will be hosted by Wisconsin Automation, a Custom Robotic Integration company in Wales, WI.

We will be joined by Ken Maren, Sr. PDM Administrator for Stoughton Trailers, former leader of SMART, and a SOLIDWORKS Champion.  Ken is a regular attendee of 3DEXPERIENCE World, the global SOLIDWORKS user conference held in Q1 each year, and is going to give us his expert tips on convincing your boss to justify the trip to the event.

We will also be joined by Jeff Setzer, Technology Evangelist for GSC and a man who has seen every release of SOLIDWORKS since its inception.  He'll be guiding us through several of the ways to speed up your workflows through dynamic UI enhancements like Mouse Gestures, Context Menus, Bread Crumbs, the 'S' Key, and Hotkeys.  We'll take a deep dive into the pros and cons of each tool, as well as a run through on backing up and sharing customized setups.

Please RSVP if you plan on attending. If you'd like to RSVP by email, send a message to SWUG.SMART@gmail.com
