LiveWorx ???

I had missed this. Does this mean that there will be no Onshape Live again?

This was posted on the forum some time back, but it seems that plans changed?

That is the current plan. We will focus more on local meetups.

Hi Wayne, I probably should have edited that older post. Yes, for 2025, we are staying with our strategy of more local meetups, smaller events, tradeshows, and livestream sessions. We just had a great event in Atlanta, and our founder just spoke at a mHub event in Chicago. We stream a wrap-up of all the added features every quarter. (Our next one is Dec 12.)

Onshape Live was a virtual event, so we believe we cover the same topics in person or online. Is there something you feel we are missing?

Check out our events page HERE.

Hi Darren,

The one big thing that is missing is the sneak peek. 😭

No, seriously, there is probably not much difference in coverage. It is harder to justify travel for hrs just for a 1 or 2 hrs. Vs. something like Liveworx, which was a couple of days.

I also feel like I lost touch with many Onshape users since the user group thing was dropped, and some of these other events were also dropped. A number of the shows that Onshape attends are not in my line of work. For example, I am not going to take off work to attend an MD&M event because it is not part of my field of work. (not that I would not enjoy it) It just does not make financial sense.

Perhaps the thing that I feel is missing is events where the common ground and attraction is onshape. (I realize there have been a few Onshape-specific events over the past year, but none have been close enough to me or fit my schedule to justify attending.)

So what you are saying is we need to have an online user group meeting to catch up with everyone.

I don't know, what do y'all think? Would there be interest in having an online meeting? Do you have other ideas?

bryan_lagrange

I would do one.
