Solutions Laboratories

Join PTC technical staff members for these topic-specific, classroom structured working sessions to discuss, analyze, and resolve actual work-related problems. Attendees will participate in an interactive laboratory and address workplace issues related to PTC software.

The format of these laboratories includes both a morning and afternoon session. The morning session is more of a formal presentation that discusses successful solution strategies and techniques. The afternoon sessions will be informal to allow for discussion and analysis of issues, and may include the use of workstations.
