Autodesk Forum 2007 will present the software of the future

June 7, 2007, from 9:00 AM at the Hilton Hotel in Prague

June 12, 2007, from 9:00 AM at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Bratislava

The fourth annual Autodesk Forum conference will take place on June 7 at the Hilton Hotel in Prague. Traditionally, it is a meeting of Autodesk's business partners and its distributor for the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary, Tech Data Distribution. The program includes expert lectures and workshops on new software technologies featuring Autodesk professionals from both local and foreign locations.

A significant new feature is also the first edition of the Slovak Autodesk Forum conference at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Bratislava, which will follow the Prague meeting on June 12. Autodesk is thus responding to the demand from Slovak users, whose interest, like that in the Czech Republic, is increasing year by year.

Autodesk Forum 2007 further expands its program with a variety of workshops. As is traditional, interested parties can participate in an AutoCAD 2008 workshop, and this year there will also be workshops on Revit Architecture 2008, AutoCAD Civil 3D 2008, and Autodesk Inventor 2008. The workshops will run throughout the day in one-hour blocks in both Prague and Bratislava, and after completing them, attendees will receive a thirty-day version of the presented software and an Autodesk Forum certificate.

The Autodesk Forum user conference aims to provide attendees with the latest knowledge and practical skills in the field. For this reason, the lectures are also divided by industry segments. Participants will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves in detail with the product novelties of the 2008 series throughout the day and obtain current information about the programs they use in their practice. Autodesk once again expects to exceed last year's attendance, when over 470 visitors participated in the Autodesk Forum.
