November meeting summary and next event

Hi all,

Thanks to everyone who came along last night, it was a great turn out, we even had to find extra chairs to fit everyone in, so that was excellent.

Special thanks to Jamie and Paul for their presentations and Digital Tutors for their raffle prizes of a couple of 1 month subscriptions to their online training library (I'll be in touch with the winners shortly). Lee Phillips from Bluegfx was also on hand to answer questions.

After 4 events in Cardiff, we'll finally be heading to Bristol for our next group get together. Date and location to be confirmed but provisionally we're looking at late February / early March.

If anyone has ideas for presentations they may feel would be interesting to the group please drop me an email at colin.hanford@arup.com and we'll sort something out.

So thanks again for coming along, have a great Christmas break and we'll catch up in the new year.

Cheers,
Colin

This brief session will feature a round up of the news as well as a look at some of their recent acquisitions, including 'Shotgun' the established cloud based pipeline management tool, and how it helps everyone involved in production.

As always, it offers a chance to ask any burning questions directly to Autodesk!"
