And the Winner for SolidWorks World 2012 International Intrigue Contest is..

SolidWorks team announced ”SolidWorks World 2012 International Intrigue Contest” last month which ended on December 15, 2011.

This contest was for the SolidWorks users outside USA. The theme of this contest was to share why you want to come to SolidWorks World 2012, what the benefit would be for you and your busines, and what you hope to achieve with the knowledge you would gain at the show. 

The prize was a free full conference pass to SolidWorks World 2012 to be held next month in San Diego, California (February 12 – 15), as well as a hotel room for three nights and round trip airfare to and from San Diego, California.

There were six people with their interesting stories competing for this contest from various part of the world. It was really nice to read all of them. Since there can be only one winner, I believe it must have been hard for the SolidWorks team to choose. And with that said, the winner is Yoshihiro Dobashi.  Read his interesting story here.

Congrats Yoshihiro, see you at SolidWorks World 2012 in San Diego, California

And the Winner for SolidWorks World 2012 Trivia Contest is..

SolidWorks team recently announced ”SolidWorks World 2012 Trivia Contest” which ended at 12:59 PM EDT on Friday,January 20, 2012.

The theme of this contest was to answer the following question.

SolidWorks World 2008 was held in San Diego, and over 4700 hundred people attended. In 2008 how many SolidWorks World attendees traveled from Australia?

The person who guesses the right answer (or comes closest to it) wins a free full conference pass to SolidWorks World 2012.

With around 20 entries and answer ranging from 12 to way huge 4000, the correct answer is 17. And the person who came closest was Bob Prochnow with a guess of 18. Can’t get much closer than that ;P

Congrats Bob, see you at SolidWorks World 2012 in San Diego, California
