What Other Attendees Think

We asked some of our previous attendees to tell us what they liked about the PTC/USER World Event and what they might want to tell someone who had never previously attended the conference. Here are some of their responses:

"PTC/USER is the key event for users and implementers. In a few short days I picked up new tips and techniques, networked with other users and got updates on product status. Whether I was looking for enterprise strategy or day-to-day methods there was something to be learned. The conference helped solidify strategy for the rest of the year. Well worth the cost."
-- Program Manager, PLM, Plug Power

"Moen Incorporated has been sending representatives to the annual conference since 1994, and I have been attending every year since 1995. The volume and quality of information I have obtained, combined with the networking opportunities with other users, has enabled me to become more proficient in my use of the software, and helped Moen to leverage Pro/E in its product development initiatives. These opportunities aren't available, or are difficult to obtain for those that don't attend, and it's impossible to interact with the same number of Pro/E users anywhere else. To me, it's the best of all worlds - talking to people who use the software in real world situations, while also interacting with those who are responsible for the software at PTC. The question should really be, why isn't everyone in attendance?"
--Mike Brattoli, Senior Product Design Technician, Moen Incorporated

"I have been attending the conference for the last five years and it has been very beneficial for my organization. I always bring back information that I share with the Pro/E users, especially in core modeling, large assembly management and routed systems."
--Lorenzo C. Asia, Sandia National Laboratories

"Attending the annual conference is the most efficient way to minimize your investment and maximize your returns. Whether you are a company president who is looking to take your organization to the next level, a middle manager who wants to understand the implications of changes to the technology, or a user who sits at the tube eight hours a day, there is an incredible amount of information and contacts available in a single venue. I hope that you will take the time to participate – I know I will."
--Craig O. Shott, Raytheon

"Basically, I was impressed in the first few hours talking to the exhibitors. I found enough information to change some of the processes in our core problem of managing large assemblies. I think I’ve pretty much ensured my attendance here for as long as you have it."
--U.S. Filter attendee

"The best thing about the conference is the opportunity to interact with PTC people. We normally get very little chance to find out what their direction is and this is one of the only places to find out what going on with the products and what’s coming out in the new releases."
--Honeywell attendee

"You get some unique ideas on ways to use Pro/ENGINEER. I’ll DEFINITELY be coming back next year."
--Engineer from California

"[I like the] direct contact with PTC people. It was a very good experience for me."
--European attendee

"I would strongly urge anybody who’s never been here to come. It’s a great experience to talk to people at other companies, see how they’re using the tools, things you’ve never thought of before."
--Dan McCaherty, Caterpillar

"The Hands-On session of Wildfire was the greatest. Most programs really can't be judged until tried and played with. I was very nervous about the learning curve with Wildfire. But after that hands on session, I felt relieved. I think that I will be able to operate the new software without a problem. Everyone that I spoke with at the conference felt the same way."
--Hands-On Training participant
