Thank You for Making Global Summit 2025 Unforgettable!
|
As the lights dim on another incredible Global Summit, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you - our attendees, sponsors, speakers, and vendors - who made this year’s event truly extraordinary.
From the moment we arrived in New Orleans, the energy was undeniable. Nearly 900 attendees filled the conference halls, eager to learn, connect, and collaborate. The vibrant spirit of the Big Easy infused every moment, from the technical deep dives to the inspiring keynotes, from the spontaneous hallway conversations to the networking receptions where ideas turned into action.
A Week of Learning, Innovation & Connection
We built this year’s Global Summit to be more than just a conference - it was an experience. Our expert speakers delivered cutting-edge insights that pushed the boundaries of what's possible, while our interactive technical sessions and demos gave attendees practical tools and strategies to bring back to their teams.
Beyond the content, the real magic happened in the connections being made - PTC Users from around the world coming together, sharing best practices, and building relationships that will extend far beyond that week. Whether you were swapping success stories over coffee or deep in discussion at a breakout session, your engagement and passion fueled this event.
A Special Thanks to Our Sponsors & Vendors
This event wouldn’t be possible without our incredible sponsors and vendors, whose support helped bring Global Summit 2025 to life. From the cutting-edge technology showcased in the Solutions Expo to the incredible networking spaces, your contributions elevated every aspect of the experience.
A Taste of New Orleans & an Unforgettable Night
And, of course, we couldn’t have asked for a better setting than New Orleans - so much culture, history, and, most importantly, flavor! We hope you enjoyed the meals throughout the week - they were a true culinary journey! We wanted to give attendees a taste of Cajun and Creole cuisine, from savory jambalaya to fresh Gulf seafood, and if you had the chance to enjoy the beignets, we’re sure they left you wanting more.
And let’s talk about Wednesday night - what a celebration! Set against the backdrop of Mardi Gras World, we laughed until our sides hurt with the hilarious Don McMillan, whose tech-inspired comedy was the perfect way to unwind after a jam-packed week. Great food, great company, and great entertainment - it was an evening none of us will forget!
Thank You for Being Part of Something Special
For those who complete our post event survey, we want to also send out a huge thank you. Your feedback is invaluable toward shaping future events and ensuring an even better experience next time.

The Digital Digital Thread – The Key to Full Control Over the Product Lifecycle
|
Is your company truly leveraging the full potential of product data? PLM manages design and engineering, while FSM focuses on service—but these two worlds rarely connect. The result? Service technicians struggle to find documentation because data is scattered across incompatible systems. Engineers lack access to real failure data, so the same design flaws persist across product generations. And what about sustainability? Without real-world data, it's hard to assess a product’s environmental impact and design more eco-friendly solutions.
Digital Thread is the missing link that connects design, production, and service, ensuring seamless data flow throughout the product lifecycle. With it, companies can respond to issues faster, optimize processes, and develop better, more sustainable products. It’s time to break down data silos—because the future belongs to full integration!
Unlock the full potential of your product lifecycle with Digital Thread! Download our free eBook, "Digital Thread – Connecting Service, Engineering and Eco-Design from the Perspective of Organizational Change Management", and discover how seamless data integration can transform your business, boost efficiency, and drive sustainable innovation.

Digital Thread for Illustrations – “The Foundation”
|
The Digital Thread for Illustrations ensures seamless integration between CAD data and technical illustrations within Windchill, eliminating manual file handling and improving efficiency. The process begins when 3D CAD data is checked into Windchill, generating a viewable file (PVZ). Through post-publishing, these files become accessible to Creo Illustrate, allowing users to create figures that update automatically with CAD changes. The system enables automated image generation (JPG, PNG, SVG) and direct insertion into Arbortext for documentation and parts lists. This streamlined workflow enhances accuracy, reduces manual work, and extends the digital thread to customers through content delivery systems.
