User Groups
The SolidWorks User Group Network (SWUGN) is the premier place to meet and network with your peers face to face. In fact, we can almost guarantee that there's a User Group in your area.
User Groups meet all around the world. So, it goes without saying that SWUGN members get access to the latest information, freshest presentations, and personal interaction with the SolidWorks staff–and you can be a part of this

The SolidWorks User Group Network (SWUGN) committee was originally formed as the SolidWorks National User Group (SNUG) in October 1999. The original founding members - Scott Bemis, Michelle Pillers, Mark Peters, and Richard Doyle - met with SolidWorks representatives to discuss a national body for user group support. The SNUG charter was formally incorporated on March 7th, 2000.
Since then, the committee has adopted a new name, and has expanded to 8 members including international representatives in Europe and Australia/New Zealand. There have been some changes to the original group, but the mission remains the same - bringing SolidWorks users together to learn from each other.
The SolidWorks User Group Network is an important part of the SolidWorks Community. The SWUGN committee is always looking for new ideas, and would like to hear from you. Take some time to get to know your regional representative, and perhaps even offer to volunteer to help.
