Getting primed for #AU2009. I always forget how freakin’ vast Vegas is and I am talking specifically about the Mandalay Bay Hotel. I have trekked from one side to the other. I landed in the “lounge”. Really funny area of bean bags and free wifi, totally my speed and apparently some of the younger attendees that are jumping from bag to bag. In contrast, there are some of the older gen that are trying to be cool but once they sit down, they are struggling to get back up. But at least they are trying as others are snubbing the whole area.
Two social engagements tonight. The first is targeted for media and bloggers. Psyched to be able to put some faces with the tweets and blogs. It is also being held at Border’s Grill, which is a massive bonus.
The other event is a VIP gig for the AEC space. Should be really interesting, as CFdesign was just named the Autodesk Preferred MEP Industry Partner. Really fun and exciting new industry that has avoided the CFD game for a very long time. There are niche products out there, but there is a big boom in energy efficiency, smoke evacuation and data center cooling. We have been working with these applications for a number of years, but only recently have heard of such a high demand.
