DriveWorks Christmas Party 2011

On December 16th 2011 it was time for the annual DriveWorks Christmas Party at the Norton Grange Hotel in Rochdale!

We spent the day sharing some of the brilliant projects we have all been working on. It was a great daytime event where we all split up into little teams mixing Devs, Techs and Sales. We all had set tasks and then came back together to present comments and findings! And Discussion.

It was a fun day, and also a very useful day where we all learnt loads!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You'll have seen from previous posts, that the DriveWorks team works really hard, but equally it's not all just work, work, work. We all have to let our hair down sometimes, so then it was time for the party!

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE

FROM ALL THE DRIVEWORKS STAFF!

DriveWorks visits Motor Heritage Museum for SolidWorks 2011

Solid Solutions Management chose a great venue again to show off SolidWorks 2011 and we were delighted to be able to show of DriveWorksXpress AND DriveWorks Solo to everyone.

I also confess to sneaking down to the museum just after the lunch break to check out the cool cars. I loved the Austin 7 as I can remember my Grandad showing me crumpled black and white photos of his old car.

DriveWorks World - The Movie .... Filming

With the venue for SolidWorks World this year being so close to Hollywood and with James Cameron as the keynote speaker we decided to inject a little star quality in to DriveWorks World.

Here are two of our stars - Bill Taylor and Jeremy Regnerus of SolidWorks learning their lines and being filmed prior to the movie. Thanks guys - can't wait to post the out-takes to my blog too! 

Setting up the DriveWorks booth at SolidWorks World - Anaheim

24 hours of car/plane/plane and car again and here we are in Anaheim, building the booth and getting ready for what we are told is going to be a record breaking SolidWorks World

The convention centre is really impressive and it's great to have everything located so close together. A second hop from the hotel and we are in Partner Pavilion, amazing arena where the General Sessions will take place and the meeting rooms upstairs.

I checked out room 204c which is where I am presenting on Monday. Lots of chairs in there!

Start of a journey to SolidWorks World 2010

Ok so maybe this isn't the best photo.

But it IS early in the morning, we have a long journey ahead of us from Manchester UK  to Anaheim California.... and a lot of luggage!

DriveWorks - HAPPY CHRISTMAS
