We have our next Seattle ArchiCAD User Group scheduled. Please notice that we are meeting in a new non-downtown location at a slightly later time. Here are the details:

Date:

Thursday February 26, 2015
6:00 PM — 8:00 PM

Location:

DeForest Architects
1148 NW Leary Way
Seattle, WA 98107

Host:

Jesse Gallanar, GSNA’s sales manager for Washington, Oregon, and Alaska

Special Thanks:

Geoff Briggs, John DeForest and the whole team at DeForest Architects for letting us congregate in their new space.

What’s Happening:

When you register, you’ll see the official topics of discussion. Geoff is listed as the speaker. He’s volunteered to share what he’s working on-both a current project and his current template developments. We ArchiCAD gurus sure get nerdy and excited whenever someone says the word Template.

Of course as anyone who’s ever been to a user group that I’ve run knows, lengthy lectures aren’t the goal. The official topics are just a starting point. What I want to see-and what I hope Geoff’s topics will facilitate-is a two hour discussion about ArchiCAD that continues afterwards at a local bar**. Sound good? So bring whatever you need: questions, a project, a printout, a gripe, a coworker, a friend, a disgruntled Revit user, a prospective user. I don’t care. I just want to get a big bunch of passionate ArchiCAD and BIM users together to talk about what’s important. You in? ALSO…if you have a question or topic you’d like to have discussed, please e-mail me ahead of time. I can’t promise we’ll cover it (especially if you ask about EcoDesigner STAR), but we’ll do our best.

Please share this post and e-mail it to all your coworkers. I know not everyone gets the official e-mails about user groups-especially new and/or quieter employees.

**100% yes we will be having an after-party ArchiCAD nerdfest at a nearby bar. Geoff tells me there are a lot of great places to go close to their new office. And I think, as with the previous meetings, Jesse will be feeding us.
