Ideate Presents "AutoCAD – See the Difference" Live Simulcast
Improved efficiency. Enhanced creativity. Simplified tasks. AutoCAD has improved in so many ways, you’ll have to see it to believe it. And now, you can!

Simply reserve your seat for a free, informative AutoCAD simulcast on November 19, 2008, featuring Carl Bass, President and CEO of Autodesk, and Lynn Allen, Cadalyst columnist and Autodesk Technical Evangelist.

This simulcast is your opportunity to learn how AutoCAD has evolved with new features, how simple it is to use AutoCAD 2009 without missing a beat, and how a real user saw the difference with AutoCAD.

Lynn will also share her favorite tips and tricks – giving you a head start on the all-new aspects of AutoCAD – followed by a LIVE Q&A session. You’ll also have the opportunity to join other AutoCAD users to discuss key features and functionality of AutoCAD.
