70 Manufacturing (Inventor, etc.)

Welcome to the AU 2006 Blog!

My name is Joseph Wurcher and I work at Autodesk in the World Wide Events Department.  My contribution to AU is to manage content, select speakers & topics, scheduling and other logistical duties.  I am also very involved with looking for new ways to keep the AU experience fresh and AU Connect, AU Online are some of those results. I will use this blog to keep you update on the “behind the scene” look of AU and what it takes to manage a 6000 plus attendee event.

Feel free to ask me anything you would like to know about the event that can not be found on the website.
