Just got back from the Saskatoon version of the Autodesk Geo tour. Pete Southwood and Mike Schlosser were playing to a PACKED house, which once again proves to Autodesk that folks in Saskatoon don’t just say they will show up to a seminar… they actually show up! Way to go Saskatoon! and, for that matter, way to go Saskatchewan as I did see a few familiar faces from the Regina area.
The content for the most part was the same as the previous shows, but Pete was question during his presentation about surfaces and DEMS, so without missing a beat, Pete being the consummate professional presenter that he is, demonstrated the Surface Creation Toolkit and how surfaces can be created.
After the break, Terry Burton, who is the GIS Manager for the City of Lloydminster, discussed with the group the recent Topobase implementation that they have been working through over the last few months. Terry highlighted why the choose an Autodesk based solution, and presented some of the challenges and successes they’ve had to this point, and what the envision in the future. There were some great questions asked by the audience, and Terry and Richard Burton fielded the questions like seasoned pro’s. Great job Terry and Richard!
Mike Schlosser then presented how the Autodesk Geospatial solutions can be used to improve the integration between CAD & GIS. Mike highlighted Topobase points and referenced the City of Lloydminster as an example during his presentation. Another great, informative, session and you can see here for more details on Mike’s presentation.
IMAGINiT then hosted a lunch for attendees where a TakeAIM presentation was given by Mike Thomas. A special thanks goes out to Mike for handling this presentation, as I was actually on a vacation day today… but I couldn’t miss the show! 
Thanks again to all attendees, and special thanks to Kathleen Kewley of Autodesk, for her hard work behind the scenes.
Until next time,
Take care
