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.

Tom,

I don't know why it didn't occur to me before, but Philly might be an excellent place for ACU. Lots of architectural interest, easy to get to (from Europe and South America as well), and not too expensive (as I recall - certainly cheaper than NY, SF or LA).

Do you have any contacts or know of any good venues there?

We do have a new reseller locally and a few companies using AC that I know of.

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).

How about a more central location like Dallas, TX? DFW is a major airport hub...easily accessible from anywhere in the US. Maybe the venue could be at the Gaylord Texan, a world class conference center resort 6 minutes from DFW airport.

Just my thoughts,

I can rent a tent and do it in my backyard, its only 30 minutes from DTW

Matthew: Glad to hear that actually, there have been several (unrelated to ArchiCAD) events that I missed when they were in the US, because I was in the UK, and then when I got back to the US they had the event in the UK, is very annoying

cheers,

This might seem absurd, but considering how inexpensive it is to fly to England and the cultural benefits of eating a genuine British curry, you shouldn't let the distance be a barrier.

And the language isn't a problem since many of the presenters are from North America.

The British don't know how to speak English 😉

I'm not kidding: David Nicholson-Cole does his best to keep ACUE as inexpensive as possible - factoring-in the already planned event, the international flavor (maircan spelling), and the cultural opportunity, at least for this autumn, North Americans should consider Nottingham, a city not known for its ham.

Dwight said something to that effect the other day. That's why I made my comment.
