Autodesk University 08

I had a chance to do something I have wanted to do for years, and that is ride the motorcycle to AU. It's always been a hit or miss kind of thing, bad weather mostly. But this year the weather was perfect both ways. There was the usual stuff - classes - always fun for us Inventor folk. And a chance to see old friends. U.S.CAD again had a booth in the exhibit hall, but this year with a twist, we had Lynn Allen in the booth all evening during the AUGI beer bash.




I know you were expecting some kind of insight into the next "BIG" thing announced at AU. But this year there were so many next big things it's hard to know where to begin. Probably the 'coolest' thing was the Touch Screen Inventor model, lots of fun to play with. As usual classes for everyone and every level, several U.S. CAD personnel were presenters. Mark the date for next years event first week after Thanksgiving at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas - you should go.

Also, keep an eye on this space as there will be several posts coming up announcing U.S. CAD events; SCCS '09, and what's new in Inventor / ACAD-E events.
