Autodesk University officially starts for general sessions tomorrow, although several events have been going on for 2 days already. I am finding myself with little time to do anything other than event preparation and work. Thanks to my self-imposed and successful 10pm curfew, I will spend the last bit of energy in my tank for this post. Some highlights from Monday: - Over 8000 attendees are in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas,_Nevada - Las Vegas for http://www.autodesk.com - http://au.autodesk.com/ - Autodesk University .
- Over 21,000 signed up on the free http://au.autodesk.com/?nd=auv2011_event - AU Virtual.2011 (http://au.autodesk.com/?nd=auv2011_event).
- Several hundred people had already taken the free Autodesk product certifications today in the first 3 hours.
- In front of around 1000 mostly first time AU attendees, I was the super model for the AU 2011 tee shirt during the AU Freshman Orientation.
- Tonight was filled with several mixers and receptions. I was at the Media and Blogger reception where it was packed and another great event. Thanks to the creative geniuses at http://www.instructables.com/ - Instructables , we had LED projects and marshmallow guns. At the end of the event we were given marshmallows and the sniping began. I sniped a few unsuspecting bloggers who were unaware I was stalking them with smuggled in marshmallow ammo.
