AU 2009 – Next Week!

Autodesk University is right around the corner. If you haven’t already registered, today’s as good a day as any... Maybe while you’re taking a break between the turkey dinner and pumpkin pie!

Choose from hundreds of courses on a wide variety of topics including this one from keynote speaker Amory Lovins: Advanced Design Integration for Radical Energy Efficiency.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I hope to see you next week in Las Vegas!

Autodesk University Extension Event

Nothing compares to attending Autodesk Univeristy live in Las Vegas but Autodesk realizes that time and budget constraints are a reality. Autodesk is happy to offer yet another way for you to benefit from Autodesk University without attending the main event in Las Vegas.

The Autodesk University Extension event combines expert-led class content from AU in Las Vegas with face-to-face interaction with local instructors and other users. At the event, you will receive:

• Free training, including classes recorded at AU in Las Vegas
• 90 days of free access to 350 classes recorded at AU, archived on AU Online, and available to you on-demand

Plus, you may purchase additional training and certification (where available) at significant discounts.
To find out what’s available, select a participating country and an Authorized Training Center (ATC) to view event details.
