Land Planning SIG

AU 2006 set the record for attendance. Say what you will about Vegas in general, but the Venetian in conjunction with the Autodesk team did one incredible job. If you have never attended you may want to consider AU 2007. In case you like to plan ahead, don't all planners, then mark your calendar for November 27 - 30, 2007  http://www.autodeskevents.com/au2006_new/index.cfm?CFID=523646&CFTOKEN=81607870

The Land Planning SIG luncheon had about 25 people in attendance, of which 3 people identified themselves as planners. After a short presentation on the challenges of automating the land planning profession a very spirited discussion followed with a number of requirements being identified. As most of the people in the audience were either engineers or CAD managers the key issue was how to improve the quality of conceptual planning so that the process becomes much more streamlined, and less frustrating for all involved.

If you have a planning background and would like to be involved with the possible development of a focused land planning solution please contact me so that you can become part of our Land Planning SIG.
