PTC/USER spent 22 years building the World Event from a gathering of 100 users in 1989 to over 2000 attendees in recent years.  Starting in 2011, PTC/USER is leveraging that 22 years of experience with our World Event and are now working alongside PTC to present PlanetPTC Live. 

Each year, PlanetPTC Live will hold its premier event in North America and PTC/USER is heavily involved in the formation of the agenda and reviewing the presentations from the customer base and from PTC.  We also help select keynote speakers and advise on a wide variety of elements to ensure a value-add user based experience.

A typical event includes:

• Best Practice Seminars - Sessions sponsored by PTC Global Services designed to provide practical, technical information you can use;
• Technical Training - Many hands-on sessions lead by PTC University to continue your education or introduce you to a new aspect of PTC products;
• Product Update Briefings - Learn about the latest enhancements in your favorite software modules and leading industry practices;
• User & Partner Presentations - Experts from the professional community will offer their tips, techniques and unique insights to help you improve your use of PTC software to improve your business results;
• Exhibit Hall - Dozens of exhibits from PTC and our Industry Partners showcase the latest innovations in software, hardware and services to solve your most difficult challenges.

It's a special opportunity to network with your colleagues in the industry as well as the top engineers and executives from PTC.
