AUTOCAD EXPO '88 PRE-REGISTRATION SOARS SAUSALITO, California, April 22, 1988 – Autodesk announced today that pre-registration figures for AutoCAD Expo '88, held in conjunction with A/E/C SYSTEMS '88, are running far ahead of those for last year's show, which drew a record attendance. According to A/E/C SYSTEMS, over 25,000 visitors attended the two shows in 1987. AutoCAD Expo '88 is being held in Chicago, at McCormick Place North, from May 2 through 5. The conference program starts Monday, May 2 and the exhibition opens on Tuesday, May 3. "As of April 11, 142 booths or over 14,000 square feet have been sold for AutoCAD Expo '88; compared with 97 booths covering a little under 10,000 square feet in 1987," reports Patricia Pellerano, Autodesk Promotions Manager. "Over 4700 attendees had pre-registered as of April 8. Based on this tremendous response, we expect that AutoCAD Expo '88 is going to be even bigger and more exciting than last year." The AutoCAD Expo '88 exhibition features demonstrations of the entire integrated family of Autodesk products, including the latest version of AutoCAD, the most widely used CAD software in the world. There will also be demonstrations of AutoShadeTM, Autodesk's award-winning rendering software; AutoFlix, an inexpensive animation package; and AutoSketchR, a full-function, entry-level CAD program; along with some important new product releases. Several major product announcements will be made at a press conference scheduled for Tuesday, May 3, at 8:00 A.M. (More in next message)
