Pickle Man to keynote SolidWorks World
News just out (literally, via twitter) that Sir Richard Branson, a guy that needs very little introduction to anyone in the western world, is going to be the keynote speaker at SolidWorks World, held at the Swan & Dolphin in Orlando, February 8 - 11 next year.
Yup, the man that re-signed the Sex Pistols, brought the world Culture Club, high speed train to the UK, and founded the first space tourism company that's ever likely to get off the ground (using a former SWW keynote, Burt Rutan's technology) is going to speak to the assembled masses. About what, its not clear, but what ever comes out of one of the most intriguing people of our age*, its going to be interesting.
If you have the time and inclination and can justify the time, I'd recommend SolidWorks World to anyone involved with the product, the learning and networking potential are incredible and of course, its in Florida in the dead of the British winter.
*He did, on the other hand, bring us Tubular Bells. Ying and Ying I guess.

Funny that after the whole EMI fiasco, they ended up owning the Pistols record after Branson sold Virgin Records in 1992.
I know eh? did you hear about the scam when he tried to buy virgin records back? from what I remembered, there was a big thing about him wanting it back, was going to pay the same amount he paid for it and the shareholders were ok with it - then it came out that he was going to sell on on for about 50% profit or something.. too funny, smart dude
