Make your own AU Agenda

If you have been to AU before, you know your name badge for the conference will include a listing of the classes your signed up for. If you have been, you would also know that you will receive a show guide with all classes listed – and this year, this is a pretty long list. From my previous posts, you may have learned where classes are and may have verified that you did indeed select the best class for each timeslot. How can you combine all this information (and more) into something that might be useful to you at AU. Answer is the AU 2006 Session Tool. This Excel worksheet includes all 482 courses of this years event and includes all relevant information about each course. You can filter by expertise, product, time, track, speaker – or any combination of the above.

• Timecode identifies all classes that happen at the same time.
• Occupany identfies all courses that are above 90% full as of Oct 21, 2006.
• Product column not 100%

You can use this document to make your own notes in the last column, sort document by timecode and then print your own AU Agenda on only those course you are interested in. If you signed up for a class and it does not meet your expectations, this list can help you quickly identify what other classes you can take at the same time.
