Forge DevCon in Las Vegas

My plans changed. For the first time since 2005, I will not be visiting Las Vegas this year after all.

The most important participants in the Revit API session that I was preparing to host are the members of the Revit development team, anyway.

I very strongly urge you to not miss the chance to attend both AU and the preceding Forge developer conference, though, for all the reasons already pointed out in the article on the Forge DevCon at AU in Darmstadt and Las Vegas.

Here is the latest news to provide that final kick, plus a very few pictures I took during the Forge accelerator last week in Lyon, France:
