AU 2011 Exhibit HallIt has been just over a month since Autodesk University 2011 and I though I would share some fun statistics to share around the water cooler.

  • Almost1,000 classes, labs, un-conference discussions, AU virtual learning. sessions and keynote presentations.
  • Over 8000 attendees from 80 countries.
  • 97 press analysts and bloggers from 14 countries.
  • 2,191 of the attendees took advantage of the free product certification testing, and passed.
  • AU Virtual 2011 attendance during Autodesk University was in the tens of thousands from 126 countries.
  • Expelled average air volume of AU presenters speaking at AU is 29,000 (cubic feet) = 821.188551 m3  Ref: 0.18 liters/sec (0.38 cubic feet/min).
  • AU attendees produced approximately
102,528,000 BTUs. For those counting calories to be healthy it would be 25,836,622,555 calories. Or 840 kilowatts an hour (kPh) enough to power a building.
  • Almost 15,000 Tweets on twitter during Autodesk University 2011 with the #AU2011 hashtag.
  • The 6’-3” cardboard 3D sculpture named affectionately as “Carl’board” was created by using Autodesk 123D Catch to take photos of Autodesk CEO Carl Bass and create a 3D model. An OBJ was then exported from 123D Catch and imported into 123D Make to create the slice patterns for the cardboard ready for laser cutting. It was then glued together all 436 pieces which were cut from 150 sheets of cardboard.
  • There were 10,000 LED lights used in the Creative Studio by attendees pimping out their AU badges and customizing their Fab! challenge creations.
  • The Creative Studio went through 1.4 miles of 3/4” pvc pipe for marshmallow guns. With about 2880 marshmallow guns * 35 marshmallows it would equal about 100,800 marshmallows. At .01 ounce per marshmallow the grand total weight was around 63 pounds of sugary ammunition or 5,443,200 calories!

    • AU 2011 class recordings are now available on the AU website for AU 2011 attendees and subscription customers while handouts and materials are available to everyone registered as a free AU online member http://autode.sk/hVwnwN.  Past AU class recordings and materials are available to all AU online members for free. At some point the AU 2011 classes will be available to all. One nice benefit besides all the fame and peer recognition for being an instructor is Camtasia licenses were given to all presenters of AU Virtual Classes!

    Here is my last AU 2011 memories as I drove home and placed a GoPro camera mounted on my bumper to capture a photo every few seconds. I then compiled the photos into a video. The Drive Home from Autodesk University 2011

    I hope to see you at AU 2012 November 27 – 29 2012 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

    Cheers,
