A nod to our broad expertise and advanced technical knowledge, Ideate was honored with four invitations to present at AU2006.  Ideate’s sessions were well-received and two classes have earned three and four star ratings. Recorded sessions may be viewed at http://au.autodesk.com/sessions/. Please be sure to look for the following class sessions:

Ken Hall AIA, AEC Business Development Manager
"Designing Sustainable Building Solutions with Autodesk Revit"

Scott Wagner, PE,  Civil Business Development Manager

Jason Hill,  Geospatial Business Development Manager
"Bridging the GIS and CAD Gap by Connecting Directly to ArcSDE"

Sandeep Menon, Director Infrastructure Solutions
“Managing Utility Infrastructure Data in Both a CAD and GIS Environment"

In addition to providing speakers, Ideate was proud to be among a select group of resellers invited to participate as a Gold Co-Host sponsor. In this capacity, Ideate offered an informational booth throughout the week as well as entertained clients at an exclusive luncheon reception with Autodesk’s Senior Vice President, Ken Bado. Ideate thanks those who stopped by our booth and/or attended our luncheon. We were so delighted to have you with us and deeply appreciate your ongoing support.
