Tuesday at ADAPT Montreal

Blogging live from ADAPT, standing here with Softimage customer Ron Martin, Bill Desowitz from vfxworld.com and Jonny Abenheim of ADAPT. We are about to go into the Autodesk cocktail party, just chilling in the lobby first.

It's a beautiful summer-like day in Montreal, and close to 1000 people have gathered in Montreal to attend presentations from studios around the world like Double Negative, Pixar, Bioware, Ubisoft and more. This is the second year of the conference, and its great to see how its doubled in both attendance and sessions.

It's great to see so many faces here from SIGGRAPH - our friends Syd Mead and Roger Servick are here again, our friends from Gnomon are in town, the House of Moves team arrives tomorrow, and of course, ADAPT systems sponsor Dell are also represented. For us at Softimage, its great to be able to spend the time connecting with customers and listening to their presentations. Something we don't get to do at SIGGRAPH - actually take the time to watch and listen! Dilip and Herman and Sid are attending the sessions today, I think more Soft staff will be there tomorrow.

I am looking forward to Ron's Sanctuary presentation tomorrow, and I am VERY pleased to say that I personally installed the license for Greg's preso on Thursday. Yes - my very first install - and it worked flawlessly (Of course!)

Anyway - time for cocktails. See you tomorrow - with pictures!
