Networking

Thousands of Engineers, Designers, Entrepreneurs, CAD Managers and much more will attend 3DEXPERIENCE® World 2026 in Houston. One of the main reasons to join us in Houston, TX, is the opportunity to connect with this incredible network of SOLIDWORKS users from around the globe.

Don't just attend - jump in, immerse yourself, and make the most of every connection. Your next big idea - or lifelong friendship could start here. Be part of the experience.
