Altiva Software Announces Winner of Laptop Computer
at AU 2007
December 31, 2007 (Houston, TX)—Altiva Software is pleased to announce the winner of the drawing it held at
Autodesk University 2007 for the chance to win a laptop computer—Salaheddin Ramadan, of Lessard Urban, Inc in Vienna, Virginia.
As a way of creating some additional buzz at its conference booth, Altiva held a drawing for a COMPAQ Presario 6130,
a state-of-the-art, multi-media laptop computer.
To register for a chance to win, conference attendees only had to
complete a brief survey about their CAD standards with an Altiva representative. All completed surveys were placed
in a box for a random drawing held on the last day of the conference.
Salaheddin was notified by text message on November 29th during one of his training sessions at the conference.
"I was so surprised when I saw a text message on my blackberry saying that I had won. I haven't won anything before
this prize. While I was raffling, I thought it was impossible for me to win. Then I said, "What’s it going to hurt.
You never know." This is great because I was planning earlier to buy a laptop for my wife. This gift came at the right
time; I’m so happy that I actually won it."
Salaheddin is an Associate Principal at the High Rise department of Lessard Urban, Inc. Among some of the exciting
projects that he has completed or has currently under construction are:
Trump Plaza (NY)
Trump Parc (CT)
The Midtown Reston Towers (VA)
The 15th annual Autodesk University (AU), held in Las Vegas this year, attracted some 9000 attendees. Altiva, an Autodesk
Authorized Developer, was at the conference exhibit hall demonstrating the latest version of CADconform®, its software
product that promotes and enforces 100% conformance to CAD standards. CADconform is an add-on to Autodesk’s AutoCAD®
software.
