future archicad universities?

[Anonymous]

Any word whether there will be future ArchiCad university seminars - we enjoyed the 2004 archicad university west outside of Los Angeles.

We Canajuns are on the cusp.

In view of the fact that we write their comedy, (and supply their best babes) we have to speak Maircan.

And because we have Her Majesty (a pretty nice gal, according to Paul McCartney), we know how to spell crumpit.

eh?

Okay:

"…crumpit, eh?"

[Anonymous]

there, that's better

We have several venues, but I would bet they are extremely expensive... the local convention centers and hotels require union labor (you have to pay the AV guy to plug in your projectors, etc).

Think universities, retreat centers, etc. Something non-profit, or off-beat, or just old and possessed of real estate (like the Catholic church). Naturally the convention centers and big hotels will be pricey.

Well, we do have a lot of abandoned and blighted buildings I'm sure we could squat in for a weekend 🙂

Maybe we could make it a practical and work up a redevelopment plan.

ACUWest was great. I would like to see it happen again. A few thoughts:

-have seminars for different skill levels
- presenters should not just be reading their slides
-working sessions, not only lectures
- I liked Duane full morning session walking everyone through applying AC. He was open to questions and debating different techniques. It was a good introduction that all attendees, whatever their level, could related to. I know you were a tad tired to have it be the first seminar of the first full day, but maybe next time?

some seminars to include:
-Teamwork
-IT managing
-Applying BIM to our work
-handling large projects from skyscrapers to housing developments
-others?

There is an ArchiCAD University happening, RIGHT NOW!!! and we have people here from Graphisoft. We have the best trainers this side of the Atlantic taking part (incl Lubo Kul and others)

The snow is perfect, the sun is shining, skiing is outstandingly good (2.5 m of snow) and the evening lectures are also excellent!!!
More about this later on our website.

David,
I hear it is a tad on the chilly side over there right now. Doing much skiing?
