I posted an updated version of the AU 2006 session tool. Now that registration is closed, I expect this to be a pretty final document. You can check classes by time code (TC) expertise level, speaker, product, AIA credit and even occupancy.
Let me know how you use this tool, and how I could possibly make it better.
As I suggested in an earlier posting, add a column and for each time code (TC) pick your top 3 classes. Print this out, sorted by TC and your top 3 selection. Perfect way to get the most out of each timeslot at AU.

If you have been to AU before, you know after every session, we ask you to do a session evaluation. Those results are very important to us when we select classes for the next AU. Below find some of last years top rated speakers – and most of them are back this year. If you would like to find out what they are teaching this year, you can either download the AU 2006 Session Tool or do a search on the AU website by presenter. Please note that you are not able to change your schedule anymore – but you will be able to get into any class on a stand-by basis that is still open – and 75% of the classes still have space.

The answer is YES. This year we will have representatives from 64 countries at AU. Although approx. 85% of all attendees will be from the USA, some of the other countries had the biggest growth, in percent. For example, registrations from Canada and Denmark almost doubled. The UK and Australia upped their number of participants by 50% each. Counts for countries like China, Russia, or Brazil are still low, but they all will participate in AU in greater numbers this year. Only country that is sending fewer folks is Japan – I guess AU Japan might be the reason for that. All together, there will be over 1000 non-US participants at this years event – which I think qualifies AU as an international event.
PS: Given my Austrian background, I am happy to see that 50% more of my countrymen will come to AU – bringing the total to three.
