AU2007 Registration Opens for AUGI & Subscription Members

Great News, its that time of year again. Registration for the Autodesk Event of the Year - Autodesk University has just been opened for AUGI and Autodesk Subscription members alike...

Similarly, like last year AUGI has negotiated with Autodesk to offer the "AU 2007 3-For-1 Promotion"

If you are you attending AU 2007 you'll want to take advantage of this exclusive offer from Autodesk and AUGI. Register three (3) or more members from your local user group community and your chapter will receive one free pass to AU. This is a limited offer available to the first 100 registered groups who take advantage of it (limit of one free pass per local user group chapter). Don't delay. Act now.

"How do I take advantage of this offer?" Once your chapter members are registered for AU 2007 send their contact information (name, email address, phone number & local chapter name) in an email to: michael.curry@augi.com. Please put "AU 3-For-1 Promo" in the subject line. The first 100 chapters to respond, and whose registrations are subsequently confirmed, will qualify for this offer.

Don't delay. Act now! Make sure you are one of the first 100 chapters to take advantage of this limited offer!

In addition to the 3-For-1 Promo, The Second Annual AUGI Leadership Conference will be held on Monday, November 26th in association with AU 2007 at the Venetian Hotel, Room Lido 3101.

Registration opens at 1:00 p.m. and the event will begin at 1:30 p.m. This powerful half-day conference is open to all registered AU attendees and will focus on the creation, building, and maintenance of local user group communities.

A general session and opening remarks will be followed by training sessions focused on topics that are vital to user groups, including: how to launch and grow a successful user group, strategic planning, and partnering with key organizations like Autodesk and the Autodesk Re-Seller community.

Following the training sessions, attendees will participate in breakout sessions focused on developing new ideas and approaches for user group marketing, hosting successful meetings, and creating win-win sponsor relationships. In these sessions, ideas and best practices will be shared and innovative techniques will emerge.

A reception and refreshments will follow. Close the event by networking with friends, old and new.

Group leaders and potential leaders - do not miss this; plan to attend the AUGI leadership Conference for a truly rewarding experience.

Seating is limited and registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis. There is no fee to register.

To secure your spot, send an email to: jill.keefer@augi.com. Please put "AUGI Leadership Conference Reservation" in the subject line and be certain to include the following information in the body of your email: name, user group name, city, state, and phone number.

See you at Autodesk University 2007!

AU2007 Preliminary Schedules released

Well the AU (Autodesk University) machine is about to ramp up...

Joeseph Wurcher has just posted in his blog the preliminary course schedules for AU2007 - but requests your assistance...

This year, we will offer sessions at the same time as the General Session. Those offered at the same time as the General Session will be repeated during AU— in a sense, it frees up one slot for attendees who are interested in those particular repeat sessions. The AU core team made the decision today to offer those additional 20. Those classes do not show up in the schedule yet. I would like your point of view on this plan. Does it make sense to you to offer classes at the same time as the General Session? Let me hear from you!
