Dasssault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE World 2021 is just around the corner. This year, the conference is 100% virtual, and free to attend. Register here to join 3DEXPERIENCE World from the comfort of your home or office. Building on the decades-long legacy of SOLIDWORKS World, 3DEXPERIENCE World 2021 is an opportunity for designers, engineers, entrepreneurs and business leaders to learn, innovate, collaborate and celebrate together. It’s a must-attend source for innovative tools and technologies that will help companies shape the world of design, today and tomorrow.

General Sessions will take place Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, February 9-11th. The General Sessions will focus on themes, including Things to Life (Strategy and Direction), From Products to Experience (3DEXPERIENCE Works in Action), and From Connections to Relationships (real customers share their success stories).

Guest Keynote Speakers will include:

Duncan Wardle, former head of Innovation and Creativity at Disney, and his team helped Imagineering, LucasFilm, Marvel, Pixar, and Disney Parks to innovate, creating magical new storylines and experiences for consumers around the globe. Wardle’s unique Design Thinking process helps companies embed a culture of innovation into everyone’s DNA. You won’t want to miss him.

Frank Stephenson, Design Director of Frank Stephenson, an independent design company, is now applying his design expertise to a wide range of projects that move beyond the realms of automotive design. That industry is where he earned acclaim as lead designer and design director at major carmakers such as McLaren, Ferrari, Maserati, Fiat and MINI. He is pioneering the role and way that design is seen in the future of innovation.

On day one, featured customers will include: Taco VanDer Maden, Development & Operations I.T. Manager at IKEA, and Jim Keravala, CEO, Offworld AI, who’ll discuss how they built on human imagination to create new ways of innovating, collaborating, and connecting with their own customers.
