welcome<br />
Once again, I’m honored to welcome you to Autodesk University. Now in<br />
its 11th year, AU is the premier Autodesk learning and networking event.<br />
That’s because thousands of technical professionals like you recognize its<br />
value for personal productivity and professional growth.<br />
Thanks to you and your suggestions, we’ve expanded the curriculum to<br />
more that 300 classes and labs. World-class instructors cover topics you’ve<br />
told us are important to you—everything from future trends like digital<br />
signatures and Product Lifecycle Management to “use-’em-right-now” tips<br />
and techniques to help improve your everyday job performance.<br />
AU is a lot more than classes about circles and lines. It’s also about connecting with people. Take<br />
advantage of all the networking opportunities this week: the AUGI ® Beer Bust, “Birds of a Feather”<br />
Networking Lunch, Internet Café, social events, and more. Remember that you can learn as much<br />
from colleagues you meet over lunch as you do from the excellent courses.<br />
Check out the AU Exhibit Hall—and the AUGI Playpen—where you’ll get first-hand looks at the<br />
latest products and services from Autodesk and its partners. I want to express gratitude to all the<br />
sponsors and exhibitors who help make AU the leading industry event it is today.<br />
This week, you’ll also learn about where technology is headed. Join us for the Main Stage<br />
presentations on Wednesday morning when I’ll introduce Autodesk executives. They’ll share their<br />
insights into the next big trends that will affect all of us. You’ll also see how innovative companies<br />
are using technology to get and stay ahead of their competition. Stop by the Autodesk Design<br />
Awards gallery to see the amazing work some of your colleagues are doing. And be sure to attend<br />
your Industry Session on Thursday at 5:00 pm. Autodesk officials will discuss the next releases<br />
of your software, and you’ll get a chance to influence future product development with your<br />
questions and suggestions.<br />
Come have fun at the Thursday evening comedy-and-movie event with special guest John Cleese,<br />
who’ll entertain us before and after a showing of the cult comedy classic Monty Python and the<br />
Holy Grail.<br />
And finally, as always, we want to hear your ideas about ways to continue improving AU. Please<br />
complete your conference evaluation form and you’ll receive a free Autodesk University T-shirt<br />
celebrating this year’s event.<br />
It’s all here at Autodesk University.<br />

Autodesk University events are designed expressly to help you get the most<br />
from your conference experience—from informative meetings and visionary<br />
speeches to informal networking opportunities and just-for-fun activities.<br />
Here’s a brief look at this year’s special events.<br />
Opening General Session<br />
Wednesday, December 3<br />
8:00 am – 10:30 am<br />
Premier Ballroom, 3rd Floor<br />
Carl Bass, Autodesk<br />
Senior Executive Vice President, Design Solutions Division<br />
Digital Design Data. Fluid. Powerful.<br />
Valuable. It moves from your<br />
desktop or field site across networks<br />
and wireless channels to where it’s<br />
needed most—to job sites, factory<br />
floors, review boards, accounting,<br />
marketing—even suppliers and<br />
vendors. At each point along the<br />
project life cycle, digital design<br />
data adapts to the task at hand,<br />
gaining purpose—and value—<br />
while helping colleagues and<br />
partners get their work done. And helping you and your<br />
company get there first. Fast!<br />
Carl Bass will provide a progress report on the new world of<br />
strategic design technologies, where we’ve come from, where<br />
we’re going, and the quick-to-implement technologies and<br />
smart services that are available to you right now. He’ll also<br />
discuss how Autodesk is becoming even more customerdriven<br />
and preview the exciting developments to watch for<br />
in the coming year.<br />
Autodesk Design Awards “And the Winners Are”<br />
Congratulate the winners of this year’s Autodesk Design<br />
Awards as Autodesk executives introduce creative<br />
professionals and students and show their winning entries.<br />
Scott Borduin, Autodesk<br />
Chief Technology Officer<br />
Scott is responsible for guiding<br />
Autodesk’s technical vision and<br />
strategy into the future. Join Scott<br />
as he briefs us on the initiatives<br />
currently underway to extend<br />
Autodesk’s technology leadership<br />
into exciting areas such as life cycle<br />
management, wireless locationbased<br />
services, and desktop video.<br />
How will digital design data influence<br />
how we work in the future<br />
and help us do more with less?<br />
Real Success Stories<br />
In a case-study format, you’ll see how Autodesk customers are<br />
benefiting from the fast-paced changes taking place in their<br />
industries. From concept to customer, we’ve partnered with<br />
these companies to help transform their businesses. They’re<br />
gaining huge efficiencies in time and money by starting—and<br />
staying—with digital design data. It’s not just better design<br />
tools. They’re working smarter. They’re using Autodesk collaboration<br />
tools and support services to work together better.<br />
They’re changing processes as needed to realize the enormous<br />
potential of digital design data to create real value and satisfy<br />
their customers. Learn from their experience of solving the<br />
same kinds of problems that may be challenging your company.<br />
