We’re coming to DENVER! Save the date & book your place!

Post by Stephanie Downing »

Firstly, we would like to thank all our 2018 attendees, partners and guest speakers for making this years’ User Group Meeting the best yet!

Here’s a snapshot of all the action from this year’s User Group Meeting in Chicago. https://youtu.be/hJO2hSx35do

With that in mind we couldn’t wait to share with you the dates and location of our next User Group Meeting. We’re delighted to announce that the 2019 User Group Meeting will be held at the Embassy Suites Hotel at the Downtown Convention Centre in Denver on Friday 11th & Saturday 12th October 2019.

We'll be packing both days full covering; ‘What's New’ in version 10 along with projects and ideas to increase your knowledge and efficiency using the software. As well as the technical benefits, the User Group Meeting gives like-minded CNC enthusiasts the opportunity to get together, showcase their projects and share knowledge.

As with previous meetings, the meeting will take place over two days and will have a strong focus on our Aspire and VCarve software with some of the sessions also being relevant to Cut2D.

The fee per person to attend is $249.00, which includes refreshments and lunch throughout both days as well as a welcome pack, USB containing all the presentations and a free gift. To help minimise costs, we have made arrangements with the Embassy Suites Convention Centre in Denver to offer a discounted accommodation rate of $189 per night. Room availability is limited, to book your room click the link below:

We are looking forward to seeing you all again.

The Vectric Team.

Would this make sense for a relative newbie?

I've been using Vcarve and CNC casually for less than a year. Will be upgrading to Aspire soon. There's plenty I don't know, but not really wanting to spend time and money to befuddle myself too much.

Absolutely! In fact, relative newbies probably have the most to gain from these events.

A laptop is not critical for success. Everything will come on a USB thumb drive which you can use when you get back home.

At breaks and meals be brave and strike up conversations with other attendees. That way you will learn as much during the breaks as you do during the sessions.

I was reading this post about the Denver meeting next year.
I read a comment about not having a computer.
The reply was you did not need one that everything information would be on a thumb drive to take home.
Well my question is this was there a thumb drive given this year in chicago, I was not able to get a spot there.
If there is one would it be possible to buy one , I have a Vcarve Pro program.

Hello Jeff,

There are no plans to release the USB's from the Chicago UGM in full, however,
much of the information will most likely be re-presented as projects over the next few months.
The Terrain Maps project, available within the Tips and Tricks section of your V&Co. Portal account page is one example.

I hope that this helps.

Cheers,

Mark.

I'm signed up, and the hotel booked. :) We're going to add it to our Fall travel itinerary where we Leave Southern California then stop at friends in Aurora CO, Galena MO, and Harrison AK.

I have a 11 ft. tall truck camper (camper on a Ford F250 truck). The hotel says that they can't park it, so I'll see if we can leave it at our friends in Aurora CO and Uber in on Thursday.

I'm planning on attending the Vectric User Group 2019 meeting. Denver is closer to me than Chicago, even though Denver is 3,000 miles from Anchorage. One of these years you'll have have to plan on holding a meeting in Seattle then I'm only a 3.5 hour flight for me to attend.
