AI, Automation, MBD, and Connected EngineeringJoin fellow engineering and PLM professionals for a full day of practical sessions focused on Creo, Windchill, AI, simulation, MBD, automation, and enterprise system integration. This in-person East Cobb PTC/USER meeting brings together industry experts, customers, and partners to share technical strategies that improve design workflows and strengthen your digital thread.
From AI-powered assistance inside Creo and Windchill to automation tools and ERP integration discussions, this agenda balances innovation with real-world application. The day concludes with an open town hall, raffle, and brewery tastings. Why Attend?Engineering complexity continues to increase. AI is entering CAD and PLM. Simulation must move earlier in the design cycle. Requirements and test data demand stronger traceability. Meanwhile, pushing data downstream into MRP, ERP, and MES systems requires better planning.
This event delivers practical guidance you can apply immediately. You will hear directly from PTC, industry experts, and experienced practitioners while networking with peers who face similar challenges. What You’ll LearnYou’ll gain insight into how AI Assist enhances Creo and Windchill workflows, how simulation supports designers earlier in development, and how advanced surfacing techniques improve model quality.
You’ll also learn why Excel struggles with modern requirements and test management, how to prepare your organization for Model-Based Definition (MBD), and how automation tools inside Creo can accelerate repetitive tasks. The day closes with a strategic look at the pros and cons of pushing engineering data into MRP, ERP, and MES systems, followed by an open Q&A discussion. Agenda OverviewThe day begins with networking and introductions before diving into AI Assist in Creo and Windchill with Brad Cline from PTC. A local customer will share insights on Simulation for Creo Designers, followed by Bart Brechja from Design Engine presenting Creo Surfacing Tips and Tricks.
Before lunch, Robert Leslie from PTC will explain why using Excel for requirements and test management limits visibility and control. After a catered lunch and networking session, the afternoon continues with Preparing for MBD – Best Practices, Creo automation tools, and a session led by Bryan Enabnit from TriStar on the pros and cons of pushing data into MRP, ERP, and MES systems.

Design to Make to Maintain Webinar | Connect the Product Lifecycle
2026-04-15 11:00 - 12:30 (America/New_York)
Build a more connected product lifecycle strategy for industrial transformationIndustrial organizations are under pressure from every direction. Rising costs, supply chain disruption, and the need to move faster are exposing the limits of disconnected systems across engineering, manufacturing, and service. This webinar explores how a connected Design-to-Make-to-Maintain strategy helps teams break down silos and create a more cohesive product lifecycle approach. The session is scheduled for Wednesday, April 15 at 11:00 AM EST.
In partnership with Frost & Sullivan, PTC will show how leading manufacturers are connecting product data, processes, and teams to improve collaboration and support better decisions across the lifecycle. Attendees will see how a unified framework can help organizations improve efficiency, raise quality, and create new opportunities for service-driven growth. Why Attend?Many manufacturers still manage critical lifecycle data across disconnected systems. As products become more complex, that fragmentation creates delays, weakens visibility, and makes it harder to respond to change. This webinar will show why a connected lifecycle strategy matters now and how organizations can move toward a more integrated operating model.
You will also hear practical examples of how connected data and real-time feedback loops support faster innovation, better cross-functional alignment, and stronger business outcomes. PTC highlights measurable results tied to integrated lifecycle strategies, including faster time to market, lower operational costs, and stronger service revenue performance. What You’ll LearnDuring the session, you’ll learn why so many manufacturers struggle with data silos and what it takes to reduce that friction across the enterprise. The webinar will also explore how connected lifecycle data improves collaboration between engineering, manufacturing, and service teams.
PTC will also share examples of digital transformation in action, including the role of PLM, CAD, and SLM integration in building a more connected product lifecycle. In addition, attendees will get a closer look at how integrated solutions can help drive faster launches, reduce operational inefficiencies, and support long-term industrial transformation.
