Wanted: mentors for AU Las Vegas Freshman Orientation

Got a little time to spare the day before AU begins? If so, we want you.

If you’ve been to at least one AU event, we need your help at this year’s Freshman Orientation on Monday, December 1 from 5:00 to 6:30.

To the uninitiated, AU can be overwhelming: 700 sessions, Innovation Forums, and myriad events—not to mention 10,000 of your new best friends. You, on the other hand, probably arrange your schedule differently than you did your first year. Got any advice up your sleeve? If there are speakers or events you can recommend, or if you have found wisdom in unexpected places, that info is gold to a newbie.

We’d like to place one mentor at each of our 140 tables at Freshman Orientation. Your job is to field questions from the 9 first-timers seated with you. It’s that simple, and yet so valuable.

The Freshman Orientation is hosted by Cadalyst columnist and Autodesk technical evangelist Lynn Allen. We’ll wrap up the event with a reception and drinks.

Are you up for it? If so, sign up online. And recruit your colleagues. The fact is that, like everything else in Las Vegas, it’s going to be fun.
