Vectric USA User Group 2015 – Las Vegas

For the 2015 USA User Group we are returning to the Embassy Suites Convention Center, Las Vegas. This is the same venue we used in 2013 and 2011. The dates for this year’s meeting will be Friday 9th and Saturday 10th October, 2015. We'll be offering the usual mix of presentations focused on "What's New" in Aspire and VCarve Pro along with projects and ideas for how to get the most from the software. This, along with the opportunity to meet up, learn from and share with fellow Vectricians makes the meeting an excellent way to improve the use of the software and your CNC. Please note there is a strict limit of 120 places and for the last 4 years we have sold-out way ahead of the meeting so if you're thinking about attending don't delay in booking your place.

Cost for the meeting is US$199 which includes lunch and refreshments during each day along with receiving the data for the videos and files for the majority of the presentations. You can read more about the venue and book your place at the meeting from the USA User Group page.

Vectric UK User Group 2015 - Wootten Park

We are pleased to announce that after a successful inaugural UK User Group meeting we plan to hold our second one on September 30th, 2015. This will be in the same location as last year (Wootten Wawen, Warwickshire) and follow the same one-day format highlighting a selection of presentations from the US User Group.

Cost for this event is £50, this includes lunch and refreshments along with the data for the majority of the presentations and projects from the 2 day US event. Space is limited so please book as soon as possible to ensure your place.

Along with learning something new and meeting like-minded CNC enthusiasts, there is also the opportunity at the UK meeting to come back to the Vectric office in the evening for another chance to ask further questions and see the great samples of customer’s work we have on display.

Other Vectric Events

It’s a busy time at Vectric at the moment, last month James was at the ISA show in Las Vegas and this week we just returned from the Aspire camp at Jim McGrew’s Cabinet Maker’s in Columbia, South Carolina. This unofficial User Group was the largest and most successful yet with over 130 people in attendance! Thanks to Jim for hosting and everyone who attended for making it so enjoyable and worthwhile.

Next week we will be heading to the Maker Faire in San Mateo and helping out in the ShopBot tent. The Maker Faire is a pretty unique event, the organizers describe it as “The Greatest Show (& Tell) on Earth, part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new!”, If you plan on attending be sure to find us in the ShopBot tent and say hello.

In July we’ll have our own booth at the AWFS Trade Show in Las Vegas. This year’s show runs from July 22nd to July 25th. Vectric’s Booth number is 9744. If you’re visiting the show be sure to come to the booth and we’ll be glad to show you the new features in Version 8 or answer any questions you may have on the software.
