 That's wise, thanks. Also hope you will post the videos.

Great news!!!

Are there any kind of Call for Speakers to run presentations?

And even more important, are you going to run a design contest? 

Cristina_Seckinger

Hola Eduardo -
Thanks for the interest!  We do not have an open call for speakers at this point, but a design contest is in the works. Stay tuned for details!   See you on the 11th!

More information is now posted on the website, including a look at the available sessions and the keynote speakers.

Can we not aim to hold an EU / GMT friendly time zone on the next available day say 10am GMT, this way we would all be updated within a 24 hour period of each other. I don't think it's fair to update later on in spring for us European users (I feel a little bit left out, and that i have no choice but to log in during the evening)

Here are Google Calendar add links I made for the events:
2:00 PM - Keynote Presentations
3:00 PM - Breakout A Sessions
3:45 PM - Breakout B Sessions
4:30 PM - Onshape Sneak Peek
5:15 PM - Networking

I also attached a zip of a .ics file I made with the event info for anyone using outlook etc. (can't attach a .ics directly since it's not an allowed file type for the forum)

Both of these should have time zones set up correctly and shouldn't contain any links/references to my accounts. Note that these aren't official, I just copied the info from the site to make them.

Hi John_Stringer,
Thank you for your feedback.  As you can imagine, finding a time that worked for the US west coast to Europe was a challenge. The presentations will be available on-demand within a day or two, but I hear what you're saying. The idea of repeating the presentations for our EU audience at a later date is to give you the opportunity to take part in live Q&A sessions.There are a lot of moving parts to consider, so I'm unsure we can repeat our event the very next day.  We'll keep you posted as these plans develop.
Cristina

I was hoping the session descriptions would allow me to miss a few to grab my evening back, but they all sound interesting!

How about doing the EU one a week earlier @Cristina_Seckinger?

Hi Bruce,
Registrants usually receive a confirmation email, but there was an issue over the weekend.

I checked and your registration is confirmed.

It is now 5 minutes to start. I almost didn't notice the grey sidebar that lets me navigate to the sessions, as the home page just asks me to register again and points to different pages but not the sessions.I'm in now!

Ian_Adey

Hi, Ive been trying to get into watch the Keynotes for 40 minutes now, and I cannot get in. Any suggestions? it keeps saying "Connection was reset"

wayne_sauder

It was an incredible experience. A great expo, keep up the hard work, and thank you to all at Onshape!!!!
I'm Looking forward to the year ahead and all the great features that we'll see from the team, as I'm sure the sneak peek was only the tip of the iceberg.

Are the videos of the sessions available now? or will they be available soon?

john_mcclary

I think they said the 17th 

MichaelPascoe

Here are the recorded sessions: Onshape Live 21
I had to log in before it would let me see them.

michael3424

Are the recorded sessions available to free tier users?  I had trouble logging in.  It wouldn't take my Onshape login and wouldn't let me enter a state when I tried to register for a new login.

MichaelPascoe

It is not your Onshape account. You have to create an account with whatever system they are using for those events. You can create an account here: https://events1.social27.com/onshapelive21/auth

michael3424

Thanks - I did try creating an account but the only option under the State dropdown was "Choose" and that couldn't be typed over so the account registration failed.  Perhaps someone from Onshape will see this and provide guidance.
