© 2012 Autodesk Why this session.  Being a CAD manager in the U.S.A. can be a very homogenised experience.  Generally speaking working between states is very similar, the people speak the same language.  I.T. Infrastructure is fast and cheap, as is transportation.  There is a reasonably consistent regulatory framework  This session is about what happens when the things above do not exist.
