This entry is part 3 of 4 in the series AU2013<\/a><\/div>

Day Two started off early with my session delivery of CAD Management: The Best is Yet to Come – Career Planning. With a full room present, we discussed issues surrounding the planning needed to manage your career.<\/p>\n

Some of the topics included: Knowing yourself, Knowing your opportunities and Knowing what you are Looking for. By thinking through these areas, you are setting yourself on track to success.<\/p>\n

After that it was back to my room to upload the final presentation for those that attended. Then down for lunch. I ate lunch with a gentlemen from the Pacific Northwest – Civil Designer using Civil3D. He has many years of working as CAD Manager for his firm. Great conversation.<\/p>\n

On to the exhibit hall and grabbing some snacks – AU branded M&M’s at the Autodesk booth.<\/p>\n

Wandering around I was impressed with the volume of 3D Printers and services available.\u00a0 They are doing some amazing stuff.<\/p>\n

\"3d<\/a><\/p>\n

After a short break in mid-afternoon that I took, it was back to the pre-AUGI Meeting show of technology\u00a0 that included the Glorious Gadgets presentation by Jim Balding and Wesley Binn (Think RTC<\/a>).\u00a0 The had demo videos of future technology that was pushing the envelope.\u00a0 Ed Tallmadge of US CAD actually flew a quad copter around the room (like the ones the Amazon might use in the future).<\/p>\n

The AUGI show presented the stats and facts of all the AUGI initiatives completed and in progress.\u00a0 They are over 337,000 members now.<\/p>\n

Then it was on to the AUGI Beer Bust.\u00a0 The exhibit hall was packed again.\u00a0 I ran into old friends (like Edward Lick, AEC Solutions Support Manager at STV, Inc.) and then actually won something.\u00a0 I never win anything, but I won an iPad Air – provided by Synergis Technologies<\/a>. You may know them for the Adept<\/a> product line or maybe their Design Solutions<\/a>.\u00a0 Did I mention that I never win anything?\u00a0 I just was in the right place at the right time I guess. \u00a0 The picture almost makes it look like I am wearing their standard issue outfit… nope.\u00a0 I will admit that I am a long time fan of the Synergis tools and services.<\/p>\n

What a way to end a great day.\u00a0 Thanks Synergis!!!\u00a0 (for more info contact Kristen at Synergis<\/a>) This may look like a blatant plug and it is.\u00a0 I am promoting tools that I think help you get the job done.\u00a0 You should check them out.<\/p>\n
