That CAD Girl’s Webinar Series
– Company and Individual Subscriptions now available!

We’ve been working on the behind-the-scenes logistics of this for awhile and are finally ready to roll it out to everyone! We can now offer Company and Individual Subscriptions to our Webinar Series events.

Your company will still get a year’s access for up to 10 users with any purchase of a new license of Carlson Software through That CAD Girl or one of our trusted partners (more about this coming soon!).

Now, with our Company and Individual Subscriptions, we have more to offer those who don’t need more software.

That CAD Girl is heading west!

We’re very excited – and appreciative! – to the Land Surveyors of Washington (LSAW) and to the Western Federation of Professional Surveyors for inviting us to present sessions at their 2024 conferences!

We will have some fun and exciting events at our booth that you won’t want to miss, so make sure to come by while you’re there!

In Tulalip at the 2024 LSAW Conference, That CAD Girl will be presenting Survey Project from Field to Plotted Sheet with Carlson Software – tentatively scheduled on Wednesday, Feb 28th.

 

At the Western Regional Survey Conference in Las Vegas, we will also have fun ‘n’ games at our booth and will be presenting Survey Project from Field to Plotted Sheet with Carlson Software.

And you won’t want to miss our other session! In Dueling Piano… err, Dueling CAD Stations: Civil 3D vs Carlson Software with John Dingwall of CAD Masters, we will go head-to-head to demonstrate how each program handles your day-to-day Survey work.

Early registration is still open for both Conference, so register today!


Have you registered for the NC Surveyors Conference & Trade Show yet?

You won’t want to miss this year’s NCSS Conference coming up February 8-10 at the Sheraton Imperial Conference Center in Durham! As always, there will be a full agenda of great educational sessions and a chance to catch up, visit and share all the best surveyors stories of the past year!

That CAD Girl will be there and we’d love to have you stop by our booth to say “Hi!” since it’s been awhile since we’ve been able to attend.
