Autodesk University 2008

30 April 2008 Geoff Zeiss

Autodesk University is occurring Dec 2-5 in Las Vegas, and I would encourage you to attend if you canSelect_au_sessions_new_style
especially if you like the technical side of things.  Last year we had over 9 000 people at Autodesk University, if I remember correctly.

Also we’re doing something new this year, we are asking you to help us select the sessions for AU.  All of the session abstracts that were submitted by the deadline have been uploaded to the AU 2008 Session site. Topics are organized under 19 tracks, which are either an industry or a product.  If you are thinking about attending AU, take a look at the session abstracts, and then Vote for AU Sessions that you would really like  to see.  The deadline for voting is Saturday, May 3, 2008.

Over the next few weeks, we will review your input and whittle the sessions down to the number we can actually physically accommodate in the Venetian Conference Center in Las Vegas.

Registration for AU will start on August 15th, and one week earlier for AU members.  Class schedules will be available for review by August 1st.
