Big Topics to Watch

The 2026 agenda is designed around themes that matter most to designers, engineers, and technology leaders. From cloud-enabled engineering to real-world innovation, these topics will be central throughout the conference. 

Design Innovation and Workflows 

Sessions will cover modern design workflows powered by SOLIDWORKS and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, including advanced modeling techniques, simulation, and AI-assisted design. The Playground interactive area provides hands-on demonstrations and ways to see technology in action.

Cloud and Connected Engineering 

Cloud-centric technologies are a major focus, with discussions on connected engineering platforms that support real-time collaboration from initial concept through manufacturing execution. Attendees will learn best practices for leveraging cloud design, data management, and cross-team collaboration.

Manufacturing, Simulation, and Digital Twins 

The conference will include deep dives into simulation, digital twins, manufacturing execution strategies, and bridging virtual workflows with physical production environments. Workshop and demo areas like the Maker Zone and Shop Floor bring these topics to life.

Continuous Learning and Career Development 

Professional development remains a strong theme, with free certification opportunities, networking receptions, and peer-led educational sessions. You can build skills in design, simulation, data governance, product lifecycle management, and more.
