2008 AASHTO Conference

I'm a bit late in posting about the recent convention held a few weeks back in Hartford, CT.  This annual event gathers representatives from all of the US departments of transportation and their contractors and vendors.

What a show it was!  We enjoyed the company of a steady stream of enthusiastic visitors at the Autodesk booth all interested in the very loud buzz Civil 3D is making in the US DOT community.

It was also fun to see a competition for local school kids that AASHTO held.  The task was to create a model of a community focusing on transportation and sustainable design.  I was blown away to see what these kids came up with.  We simply cant get these up and coming engineers and designers graduated and licensed soon enough!
