AUGI has retained a new event management and marketing firm, AMI/Burns, to manage the AUGI CAD Camp tour starting in January, 2010.  Schedules and locations will be developed and announced in the fall at www.augievents.com.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 03, 2009 – AUGI is pleased to announce an agreement that sets the stage for the 2010 AUGI CAD Camp season.

“We are very excited about our relationship with the team at AMI/Burns because of their extensive knowledge of technical events. They are based in San Francisco and
Loveland, CO., and have developed events for Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Nvidia, Oracle
and dozens of other high-tech companies and associations” says Mark W. Kiker, AUGI President. “We look forward to a vibrant renewal of our CAD Camps next year.”

CAD Camp has had a significant impact on the level of understanding of the Autodesk tools. They are one of the best training event values and are open to members and non-members alike. Each event promises to be innovative, invigorating, educational and spawn great ideas and relationships.

Tim Bostwick of AMI/Burns adds “We are excited about the brand recognition that these events already have. We expect 2010 to be a banner year for AUGI CAD Camp.”

Some of the immediate goals are to:
• Maintain affordable tuition levels at the 2008 level.
• Finalize the 2010 schedule to include prior cities and expand to new ones.
• Continue to offer world-class content for the camp series including national and local subject-matter experts.
• Revamp the augievents.com web site so that it serves our attendees better. The site will look better, contain a lot more information, and leverage the latest social media.
• Create a sustainable financial model for the camps that will insure their continued operation. The arrangement with AMI/Burns insures that AUGI management will have detailed financial and logistical information about how the camps are managed.
• Develop an expanded brand for the camps and extend the AUGI brand even further in the CAD marketplace.
• Increase the number of sponsors and exhibitors at each camp.
