AU 2004 seems like a long time ago, but it was the first year in which I presented at Autodesk University and I was a nervous wreck; still even Today I would classify myself as a nervous speaker. The perfectionist in me almost did me in at AU 2004, as some know I drove to Kinko's hours before I had to present to fix a problem with my handouts. After being quoted one price, and then being told something that was well double the quoted price reality settled in and the mistake would remain; I don't even know if anyone even saw the mistake or cared it was in there. Rather than take a taxi back, I decided to hoof it back barely making it in time to get a different change in shirt as it was more than 4+ miles back (it is hard to gauge distance in Las Vegas at times).
Based on the way I was feeling up to and after the presentation at AU 2004, I figured I would be one and done. I guess I couldn't have been further wrong, as I have had the privilege to present every year since AU 2004 and impact the way people utilize the AutoCAD program. AU 2020 marked the 17th different AU I presented at and all of those have been over consecutive years. Below is a list of the sessions I have presented over the years:
