Another Autodesk University in the books. It is the Wednesday after and I *think* I’ve recovered. I’ve spent the last few days thinking about all the events and trying to digest the experience. My sources indicate 9000+ participants all told. As always there was so much going on that I regret not being able to attend more sessions and functions. In particular, I regret missing Pete Kelsey’s Pecha Kucha talk about Easter Island and sustainability. I’ve always thought Easter Island is an interesting and special place, and enjoy learning more about it. Maybe Pete will attend Daratech again this year and I can grill him about it in person.
Each year AU just seems to get better and better. This year I both remembered not to Karaoke and also to escape the admittedly impressive fake Venetian sky in the casino mall to see the real Vegas sky a time or two. (Yes, I know Venice isn't in Tuscany. Hush.) And I also remembered to eat before the social events. Woohooo! Well, at least I remembered to eat most nights. Wednesday is pretty much a blur – hanging out at the booth, teaching Intro to P&ID to a packed room, attending the equally packed Preview of AutoCAD Plant 3D class, and that awesome Plant Cocktail Reception – I don’t recall if I ate or not! Despite the blur, I do have lots of photos of everyone cutting loose – so be nice to me or I’ll post them. (Aceri, can you lose that photo of me in the wizard hat please?)
We gave out 3000 Plant Solutions T-Shirts – 3 designs were all a big hit -- designed by our favorite designer-comic-artist Damian. My favorite is the Nice Tee one on the right. I’m going to go on pretending that everyone loved the shirts because they love Autodesk Plant Solutions, not just because they were free. I showed a bunch of people how to apply the Plant temporary tattoo (quality stuff - mine still hasn't come off.) We met lots of great folks and got a lot of great feedback. Mostly the feedback was “Nice work! We’d like more more more.”
I did get some comments encouraging me on my blogging, which is always nice to hear. My very first posts were from AU last year. It is nice to know people are still reading! I sometimes forget that features I’ve been seeing day in and day out for a year may be new to y’all, so I plan to make an effort to introduce more bit and pieces of the functionality in the future. Stay tuned . . .
