It sounds like a great opportunity to me - unfortunately I will be out of the country doing some AutoCAD 2010 launch events (bad timing!) or I, myself, would definitely attend. The Autodesk Design Gallery is absolutely fascinating with all the amazing technology exhibits. Today I had the extreme privilege of being given a personal tour by Autodesk CEO, Carl Bass himself! I have been to the Autodesk Design Gallery many times but had no idea what most of the exhibits did. Carl, with his love of technology, was the perfect person to conduct an indepth tour (and it was certainly much appreciated).
So if you do sign up...and do attend...be sure to ask for someone to give you a proper tour. There is much more to the exhibits then meets the eye!
