Personally, I am both pleased and disappointed with the classes offered this year. I am glad that we are getting some new content. This will be my fourth AU and it seems like the majority of the classes each year are repeats. I am disappointed because there is a definite lack of Advanced classes this year and some of the "seasoned" AU speakers that have a wealth of knowledge are not speaking this year. Personally, I am not concerned Phil Read is not speaking (I hear him probably 6 days a week), but James V. from SOM has a lot of knowledge and always puts on a great class. He is just one of many.
Ok, I will get off my soapbox now. Below is the Power Track for Building Design. For me, the one class that is an absolute must is SE0404-1P Horrible Hacks. Class will be taught by Steve Mintz of Autodesk Consulting. Really bright guy and this is a class you have to attend if you are a Revit Structure user and should be on the list if you are using Architecture or MEP.
