Join us for SLUGME X, where design, community, and creativity collide in a mystery build that’s set to leave a lasting impression at 3DEXPERIENCE World 2026.
The SOLIDWORKS community has built the event we know today, and remains the constant that fuels the engine of 3DEXPERIENCE World. Watch Day 3 General Session that kicks off with Suchit Jain, our VP of Strategy and Business Development, highlighting the community’s passion. Next, Danielle Boyer, who at 19 years old is the founder of The STEAM Connection as well as an accomplished inventor and author. Sam Rogers, Additive Design Lead and Jet-Suit Pilot of Gravity Industries, provides an inside look at the jet-suit origin story – including the high heights and (the sometimes humorous) heavy turbulence. Next up is the 3DEXPERIENCE Pitch Battle pitting four startup finalists vying for a $10,000 prize.
Wednesday’s keynote comes from famed inventor and STEM champion Dean Kamen. His discussion covers a handful of the many innovations he has created over the years, but really focuses on the theme of imagination and inspiration.
