It is the morning of the final day of Autodesk University, and it is a cold one at 30 degrees in Las Vegas. The high temperature today is expected to be the record lowest high temperature for Las Vegas at 41 degrees. I bet the palm trees had you fooled that it was tropical weather here. I hope you brought a jacket if you expect to step out of the convention center to see the sun and get some fresh air.

AU Thursday at a Glance:

Classes & Labs 8am – 11:30pm
Autodesk Design & Make Contest Judging by Autodesk CEO Carl Bass and CTO Jeff Kowalski 
Lunch 11:30am – 1pm
Classes & Labs 1pm – 3:45pm
Closing Session 4:30pm – 5:30pm
Customer Appreciation Party 5:30pm – 8:30pm

I hope those attending Autodesk University here are enjoying their final day of excellent classes, networking, and preparing themselves for an amazing finale of the Closing Keynote with Autodesk's Amar Hanspal, Autodesk senior VP of IPG Product Group and a special performance by Penn & Teller and then the AU Customer Appreciation Party.

Some advice, pace yourself and don't wear yourself out and go wild since it is the last day and instead savor every last minute. By now you have learned a great deal to take back to your office and made many new connections to use after Autodesk University official closes. We do hope Autodesk University exceeded all your expectations and blew the minds of the 1200 attendees that said it was their first time at AU.

Cheers,
