Dassault Systemes will hold 3DEXPERIENCE World 2026 in Houston, Texas, from Feb. 1 to 4.

The annual event will bring together thousands of users of the SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE platforms to look at the future from design to manufacturing and share trends in 3D UNIV+RSES and artificial intelligence.

Global speakers including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, hacker and inventor Pablos Holman (파블로스 홀만), who holds more than 6,000 patents, and STEAM advocate and influencer Jay “Engineezy” Vogler (제이 보글러) will take part. They are set to present agendas on themes including virtual environments that expand imagination and core technologies.

Holman will deliver a keynote speech on a vision for solving global problems through new technologies. Vogler will give a keynote on “Engineezy” and the convergence of engineering, art and storytelling.

Dassault Systemes, which announced its 3D UNIV+RSES strategy at the 3DEXPERIENCE World event a year ago, will present this year an integrated AI vision covering assistive, predictive and generative AI. It will introduce the role of AI in enabling more efficient, sustainable and successful innovation across design, simulation, manufacturing and governance. Pascal Daloz (파스칼 달로즈), CEO of Dassault Systemes, Manish Kumar (마니쉬 쿠마), CEO of SOLIDWORKS and vice president of R&D, and Gian Paolo Bassi (지앙 파올로 바씨), vice president of CRE at Dassault Systemes, will introduce the latest trends and products in person.

Dassault Systemes will introduce the latest major features of SOLIDWORKS at the event. It will also run the AAKRUTI international student design and innovation competition, with 12 teams from 9 countries. Kumar said, "Artificial intelligence defines the way we work itself, automating repetitive tasks while providing time for creativity and innovation." He added, "At 3DEXPERIENCE World 2026, we will introduce the value of an AI-based portfolio for users of the SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE platforms, and show the evolution of product development that has delivered innovation to 8,000,000 users."
