Hagerman Events Showcase New Technologies

The first Autodesk Inventor Symposium and User Conference was held in St. Louis
on March 31 and was very well received. A similar event is being held in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, on April 28 at the Stonegate Conference Center, for our Chicago-area customers and prospects.

We plan to hold similar events in Indiana and Tennessee later this year. We’re learning from each event how to make the next one more useful to our customers. Right now, showing the latest technology from Autodesk, including new releases of Inventor and AutoCAD, are high on the agenda.

In addition, the data management initiatives at Autodesk, including Vault and Productstream ™ are gaining wide interest. We have found that 3D users must have good data management tools to track the volume of data created in the 3D environment. Vault is an excellent start, coming, as it does, free of charge with each Inventor license.  Our consulting group is helping our customers deploy Vault in many sites throughout the Midwest and Midsouth.

Our AEC group also recently hosted events showing the new releases of Revit and Architectural Desktop in Chicago. The Revit event was held Tuesday, April 26, featuring industry expert Mark Schmieding. The Architectural Desktop event was held Wednesday, April 27, featuring renowned author Paul F. Aubin. Both events were in the Conference Center at One East Wacker, 20th Floor. This building is also the location of our new office which will be opening on the 31st floor on July 1. Similar events are planned for St. Louis, Memphis, and Nashville in the near future.

We hope to see you soon at one of the Inventor Symposium and User Conference or the AEC events.
