I recently attended a meeting of the Badgerland User Group at the Kohler Design Center in Kohler, WI. I have to say that the group, event and facility were all tremendous. There were about 170 attendees and nearly 30 vendors on the exhibit floor. Everyone seemed to enjoy the excellent presentations and PTC training offered throughout the day, along with the tours of the design center (Kohler also uses Pro/ENGINEER in the design of its industry-leading products).

I wish to thank Bruce Nemec, Debbie Weich, Patrick Gray and the rest of the Badgerland board for their awesome hospitality during my visit. Thanks also to Stacey Clement of PTC for her support of this terrific event.

Regional user groups are an important part of PTC/USER. If you're not taking advantage of a RUG, you're missing out on some great opportunities for learning and networking with your fellow Pro/E users. To find a RUG in your area, please visit our website.
