In case you haven't seen it elsewhere, the Call for Papers has gone out for Autodesk University 2008. The conference will be back in Las Vegas at the Venetian again. You can find all the information for paper submissions at this link:
http://au.autodesk.com/event/speaker_cfp/
There will probably be 11 or so sessions again in the FM Track. Regular contributors to this board and FMDesktop users should consider submiting a topic.
Last year, Jon Luby, FMDesktop consultant at Imaginit, had the highest rated session by a new speaker! Wouldn't it be great to see Melanie Perry pull that off this year? And sessions about the use of BIM for facilities management were the highest attended sessions within the FM Track. If you want to bounce an idea off someone, feel free to post an idea here for comments, or contact me or Brian Haines if you want to keep it quiet and get our opinion.
Good luck and feel free to submit multiple proposals.
