Get ready to go beyond the marketing and see exactly how AI is showing up inside the tools your engineers already use. Join us this August 19th for a hands-on deep dive into Aura and Leo, the virtual twin agents inside the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. In this upcoming webinar, we'll demonstrate what each agent does, how they interact with your design data, and where they create real leverage in day-to-day engineering work, followed by live Q&A. Whether you're evaluating 3DEXPERIENCE, already on the platform, or just trying to understand what these agents mean for your team, this session will show you how to turn built-in AI into practical design horsepower.

This September, we'll present an honest, behind-the-scenes look at how Converge uses the 3DEXPERIENCE platform internally, and how your team might too. In this webinar, we'll explore real workflows, data management in practice, and the lessons we've learned along the way, so you can see what the platform looks like in everyday use rather than in a demo.

Who's Presenting: Phillip Lewis and Tanner Knight of Converge

Get ready for a no-spin look at what the 3DEXPERIENCE platform is actually like to live with day to day. Join us this September 16th as we open up our own internal use of 3DEXPERIENCE, showing the real workflows, the data management decisions, and the honest lessons learned, good and bad. In this upcoming webinar, we'll walk through how we manage engineering data on the platform, where it shines, and where it took adjustment. Whether you're considering 3DEXPERIENCE as the next step beyond SOLIDWORKS or trying to get more out of a platform you already own, this session will give you a real-world reference point and a clear path to a 3DX consult.

This October, we'll present a crossover look at how governed, hosted engineering data becomes the foundation for real AI ROI. In this webinar, we'll explore how EpiGrid's managed PDM hosting delivers the clean, structured, AI-ready data that the Organize phase demands, and we'll run a live demonstration of what that looks like in practice.

Who's Presenting: Phillip Lewis and Tanner Knight of Converge

Get ready to connect the dots between where your data lives and what AI can actually do with it. Join us this October 21st for a crossover session on how clean, governed, hosted data unlocks measurable AI value, because your data in the cloud is step one, and AI ROI is step two. In this upcoming webinar, we'll demonstrate the AI Organize phase live, show how EpiGrid's certified SOLIDWORKS hosting keeps PDM data structured and secure, and explain why governed data is the prerequisite every AI initiative skips at its peril. Whether you're wrestling with messy data, planning an AI project, or evaluating hosting, this session pairs an AI Readiness Assessment with a hosting consult to get you moving.

This November, we'll present a live, real-world demonstration of OpenBOM, joined by OpenBOM founder Oleg Shilovitsky. In this webinar, we'll explore how OpenBOM moves engineering data out to the rest of the business, walking through multiple integration scenarios across ERP, MRP, purchasing, and beyond

Who's Presenting: Oleg Shilovitsky - Founder of OpenBOM and Tanner Knight of Converge

Get ready to watch your BOM stop living in a silo and start driving the rest of your business. Join us this November 18th for a live OpenBOM demo with founder Oleg Shilovitsky, followed by a working discussion of real integration scenarios. In this upcoming webinar, we'll show OpenBOM in action and walk through multiple cases where it translates engineering data into the platforms your business actually runs on, ERP, MRP, purchasing, and more, including how that structured data feeds the AI Distill phase. Whether you're drowning in manual BOM handoffs, planning an ERP connection, or looking to make your data work harder downstream, this session will show you what's possible, with a direct path to booking an OpenBOM demo.

This December, we'll present a year-end planning session to help you build your 2027 SOLIDWORKS and AI roadmap. In this webinar, we'll explore SOLIDWORKS renewal and expansion strategy, AI readiness for the year ahead, MCAS conversion, and how to put an EpiGrid year-end promotion to work before the calendar turns.

Who's Presenting: Phillip Lewis and Tanner Knight of Converge

Get ready to walk into 2027 with a plan instead of a backlog. Join us this December 16th for a year-end planning webinar built to turn a busy half into a clear roadmap for the year ahead. In this upcoming webinar, we'll cover SOLIDWORKS renewal and expansion timing, how to get AI-ready for 2027, when MCAS conversion makes sense, and how to take advantage of the EpiGrid year-end promotion before it expires. Whether you're mapping budget, weighing an expansion, or deciding where AI fits next year, this session will help you prioritize the moves that matter, ending with a one-on-one 2027 planning session.

Who's Presented: Kevin Zich of Dassault Systemes and Tanner Knight of Converge

Discover how the 3DEXPERIENCE platform is reshaping the modern CAD workflow. In this session, special guest host Kevin Zich from Dassault Systems and SOLIDWORKS joins Tanner from Converge as we explore powerful tools like xDesign and xShape for cloud-based modeling, along with emerging AI-driven assistants like Leo and Aura that are changing how engineers interact with their data and designs. See how these technologies work together to streamline collaboration, accelerate design cycles, and connect your entire engineering process—from concept to production—all within a unified, cloud-based environment.

In this webinar, we dove deep into the CAD server and IT infrastructure, and how EpiGrid reduces the IT burden of engineering and manufacturing groups. If your team struggles with PDM performance, or even going to PDM in the first place due to lack of server infrastructure, this webinar is for you.

Who Presented: Phillip Lewis and Tanner Knight of Converge

Join us for an informative webinar on Cloud-hosting for SOLIDWORKS and learn how EpiGrid helps engineering teams reduce the IT burden that often comes with managing CAD environments. We’ll explore common SOLIDWORKS IT challenges—like performance issues, remote access, security concerns, hardware limitations, and software maintenance—and show how a cloud-hosted solution can streamline operations, improve reliability, and free up internal resources. Whether you're supporting a small design team or scaling across multiple locations, this session will highlight practical ways cloud-hosting can simplify SOLIDWORKS management and keep engineers focused on design instead of downtime.

JOIN US! Each month, Converge will be presenting a live webinar that dives deep into the problems you face as engineers and designers, and the solutions available for all three pillars of CAD DATA. This month, the focus will be AI for Engineering/Manufacturing, and how you can leverage AI tools today.

Who Presented: Chad Garrish and Tanner Knight of Converge

Join us next month for “AI for Engineering / Manufacturing 2026,” a focused webinar that explores how embedded AI in SOLIDWORKS (Aura) and general-purpose large language models can accelerate design, validation, and production workflows. We’ll demo Aura’s in-CAD capabilities and show practical ways to augment them with non-CAD LLMs for tasks like requirements capture, BOM generation, error triage, and automation of routine engineering work. We’ll also cap the session with a look ahead at upcoming apps and integrations—so you’ll walk away with concrete ideas for applying AI today and a clear view of what’s coming next.

Come Discover! This webinar series dives deep into the problems and solutions available for all three pillars of CAD DATA.

In each webinar, we'll discuss a specific topic pertaining to one of the three pillars of CAD Data and hopefully provide a few solutions or options to optimize certain aspects of your workflow.
