SWUG Spotlight: Houston SOLIDWORKS User Group
Supporting the SOLIDWORKS Community
With the support of our resellers, customers and partners, we have attended SWUG meetings, provided sponsorship and helped group leaders to find presenters with interesting presentations since 2015.
Over the years we have supported lots of group meetings by attending as SOLIDWORKS users ourselves, presenting on a technical topic or providing prizes and giveaways.
We love being a part of the SOLIDWORKS community and working with an amazing network of users.
As part of our role in the community, we wanted to put a spotlight on just some of the user groups across this network and showcase their dedication.
Join us as we shine a spotlight on SOLIDWORKS user groups and their leaders.

Joe Supports SWUGN
Joe is a huge supporter of the entire SOLIDWORKS community.
He recently flew across the world to join the SWUG UK Regional Meeting as a surprise guest. SOLIDWORKS User Group Leaders Kirby Downey (London SWUG), Jonny Harrison (North East England SWUG), Luke Frost (Midlands SWUG), and Theodore Chortatsos (Hellenic SWUG) worked together for several months to plan this event.
Joe Lance made the trip from Texas to England to support the event!
