The dinner was street tacos. Your choice of Beef, Pork or Chicken.
Attendance was ±50. There were about five first time attendees.
Scott Davis presented. He joined Autodesk ten years ago. First off, he described the development strategy going forward. Autodesk will roll out new features on a quarterly basis. The file format will remain the same. If I understand correctly it will be a huge improvement. Users may have different releases like, 2018, 2018.1, 2018.2, or 2018.3 and still be able to open the other 2018 releases!
The presentation consisted of showing the official Autodesk Revit 2018 new features videos. You may find them here...
Scott showed a few additional videos that are not posted on youtube.com.
Here is the new features list.
Autodesk has been incrementally working on the font rendering. The goal was to get fonts to have consistent heights between Autocad & Revit. Revit 2017 received many font complaints on revitforums.org. With the 2018 release, there is only one gap - fonts in dimensions. Once they update dimensions, the font rendering will be consistent across all text entities (schedules, symbols, labels, text, dimensions).
Last but not least, Scott showed some "coming soon" features:
- Schedules Browser - allows filters and sorting of schedules in the Project Browser.
- Collaboration 4 Revit - allows linking of DWG files.
- Formit - quick material creation and improt to Revit.
- Multi Monitor Support - tabbed views, drag & drop to second monitor, better manual window arranging.

Revit Tip: use etransmit to upgrade a Revit file with all its links at the same time.
Chat afterwards... Now is a great time to join a firm. There are many looking for talent.
