Because not everyone can travel to Las Vegas to attend AU,  professionals from the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC)  industries are invited to attend AU Extension on Dec. 9, 2009 at Ideate offices in San Francisco, CA, San Jose, CA, Portland, OR and Seattle,  WA.  The free one-day AU Extension events combine screencasts of AU 2009 class content with face-to-face interaction with local Ideate instructors and other users.

AU Extension is free, but seating is limited so pre-registration required.
