LAS VEGAS, NV (Autodesk University), Nov 28, 2011 -- One might think Autodesk would be content in hosting what is by far the biggest CAD gathering in the world, but it's not. It is inflating the numbers. in addition to the 8,000+ that are expected to be here, Autodesk is also counting those that are attending "virtually," as if that matters. So the number being bandied about is in the hundreds of thousands.
Carl Bass, Autodesk CEO, takes on a room full of media -- and redefines "businesss casual"
IMHO, there is no substitute for being here. If I was attending "virtually," I would also be doing my regular job, answering emails, shopping on Amazon.com, or a half dozen other bad habits I have picked up on my way to ADHD --none of which would have put in in good standing as a student or careful attentive listener.
There's 95 of us are from the media, a category that increasingly includes bloggers, international press, some of whom represent titles that have little to do with CAD. We have been corralled into a large room a and are being treated to one presentation after another by Autodesk VPs. Carl Bass, CEO, will be the the dessert.
This is really the great way you discuss this kind of topic. Good job.

Autodesk brought out all the big guns... and chose not to stream the media sessions.
I've not been able to figure out a good reason for this. But it seems to be par for the course.
