AU can get a little hectic at times – what better time or place to get a massage? Time to do another drawing for two spa certificates. I posted another Mystery Agent (MA2) to AU Connect and emails announcing the 2nd round will go out early this week. You will have until next Monday to locate Mr. MA2.
Hint: Like MA1, MA2 is also from the UK
PS: Looking at my previous posting, I guess you would not need to worry about it if you win

Last I saw, 400 of you will do just that. …and some of you are worried that your spouse will be bored. We have tried a “spouse program” at past AU’s – but I believe it did not work very well. So, if your spouse is coming along to AU and plans to go to Death Valley or want to spend a few hours at the very cool outlet mall in Las Vegas and would like a “wing(wo)man”, check out AU Connect, under unofficial AU events. I created the category after seeing a post and you can make sure you spouse will enjoy AU as much as you.

It is Monday morning in Tokyo and I am almost over my Lost in Translation moments. I am staying at the Royal Park Hotel, site of tomorrow’s AU Japan. The Autodesk Japan team has started early this morning setting up the exhibition area, registration and mainstage for tomorrows event. Interesting to see many of the signs we are producing for AU 2006 here in Tokyo with the AU logo on it – and everything else written in kanji.
Like AU 2005 in Orlando, Disney will deliver the keynote address. Craig Russell, VP for Environmental Design & Show/Ride Engineering will talk about “Behind the Magic of Disney Imagineering”. Craig has been with Disney over 25 years. He has worked on Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo Disney Sea and the Autodesk Japan team is very excited to have him here. Some of the other presenters include Mr. Tatsuya Matsui, President of Flower Robotic and Tetsuya Shiga, VP of Autodesk Japan.
AU Japan is a one day event and the approx. 30 sessions are offered in Manufacturing, Architecture, Civil Engineering, Geospatial and General Design as well as a few sessions on 3ds Max and Buzzsaw.
