NASCAR Team Engineer to be Keynote
Over the past decade, PTC/USER has presented some of the brightest stars from industry, sports and government. Their valuable insights into competition and leadership provide the knowledge and inspiration to pursue our most daunting objectives.
We are honored to have David Holden, Team Engineer for Richard Childress Racing (RCR), as our 2004 keynote speaker. NASCAR racing is the ultimate challenge for the team of engineers, manufacturing technicians, and mechanics alike. Mr. Holden's presentation will share examples of RCR's use of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire design and modeling, manufacturing and engineering analysis solutions that have led them to be one of the leaders in the field.
PTC Feedback Survey
The Board of Directors is interested in your opinions regarding PTC software quality and technical support. A survey form is available to all registered members at the member portal. When you login, you'll see the survey listed on your home page. We hope you'll take a moment to help us identify concerns within the user community so we can address them with PTC senior management.
