First of all...if any of you are living near Dallas...please be sure to join me for the Dallas Fort Worth AutoCAD User Group meeting on Monday night, May 11. Or you might choose to go to the Autodesk Imagine Tour event the following day (also in Dallas).
Second of all...I want to wish our good AUGI friend Bill Adams well as he was recently hospitalized and could use all of our thoughts and prayers. Other than being an active member of the Autodesk Revit community and on the AUGI Board, he is an all around wonderful person. As luck would have it I was actually in Adelaide, Australia, right after he entered the hospital and I managed to squeeze in a visit between events and flights to wish him well. He seems to be getting better daily (thankfully) but still has a long road to full recovery and would definitely welcome any emails you could send to him. He is posting updated info on Bill Adams's blog if you want to follow along.
Send a nice email to Bill Adams to keep his spirits up at [email protected] .
As promised...here are some pictures from the spectacular Autodesk Sydney Solutions Day 2009 event!
First pictures are of people signing in for the event.
Below is a picture of their Exhibit Hall (which was always bustling!)
There was quite a crowd going into the event
Pat Williams, Senior. VP of Asia Pacific, offered a nice welcome on behalf of executive management.
Guri Stark, VP of AutoCAD and Platform Solutions, did a presentation on all things AutoCAD!
Buzz Kross, Senior VP of Manufacturing Solutions Divison, (below) delivered a fantastic manufacturing message covering all of our powerful manufacturing products.
and last, but not least, I was the emcee for the morning's mainstage event.
Those in attendance were thrilled with the day's presentations (or at least that is what they told me) and I enjoyed talking to so many different people about their experience with Autodesk products. Even though it was hard work, I was quite pleased I had a chance to participate and hope this becomes an annual tradition!
