7 Solid Edge Experts | 18 hours | Ask them anything!
Yes – you heard it right! The Solid Edge Community is launching the first Ask the Expert (ATE) Days. 18 consecutive hours with 7 Solid Edge experts answering your every question on March 17, 2022 starting at 10:30 am in India (12:00 am Eastern) through 6:00 pm (Eastern USA).
ATE is an abbreviation for Ask the Expert. Hosting an ATE opens the door for Siemens Digital Industry Software community members (YOU) to ask any question related to defined topics across Solid Edge knowing that there are a set of experts ready to answer back to every question.
We are piloting this new format with our Solid Edge community and we invite you to join us!
Why participate?
This is a chance for you to join us in the forums and ask those questions that have been lingering in the back of your mind or collaborate with the experts participating. Hopefully you’ll make new connections and be online real time with community members around the world.
