Located in Playground – Hall B, the reception provides the perfect opportunity to network with your peers, check out SOLIDWORKS and partner solutions, and enjoy light refreshments.

Don’t Miss the General Sessions

Each day of 3DEXPERIENCE WORLD starts off with a general session where every attendee joins together and listens to inspiring and enthusiastic keynote speakers from different fields. Speakers typically include innovators, astronauts, engineers, entrepreneurs, designers, musicians, entertainers, presidents, CEOs, industry and business leaders and many more! They talk about how they are using the technology that brings us all together, how it has impacted their life and the available capabilities to design a better world around us.

These sessions are great starters to get you pumped up for the rest of the day, so be sure to attend each day. After the first day, the next two days will have a couple of different sessions and you will get to choose which general sessions you would like to attend. They will vary in options, so pick one that speaks to your interests!

Check out the website for more information on the 3DEXPERIENCE World speakers and general sessions for the conference.

Explore Breakout Sessions

Breakout sessions are known to be more topic specific and are more training style sessions for attendees to learn and discover new products and capabilities of Dassault Systemes products.

Be sure to check out the full agenda list. There are over 380 sessions available!

You can view the sessions without logging in, but if you would like to register for a session you must be logged in to do so. Watch out as sessions can fill up quickly, so make sure you get a spot to your desired session.

Note: It is always a good idea to have a second session picked out for a time slot. That way, if you don’t find the first session helpful, you can go to another one.

Choosing Your Sessions

Picking breakout sessions is easy because you can sort sessions by categories, session types, product brand, certification level and more on the sessions page.
