Well, what do you know? Another year of making, learning, and moving forward together draws to a close. For us here at AU, it’s been a year of growth. The best and biggest AU Las Vegas ever. The continued development of the AU International program. And of course the launch of the new AU web experience that enables the AU community to connect all year long. We couldn’t do it without you, the AU community. You are AU. So as we celebrate the blessings of the holiday season, we just want to say thanks for being part of it. Thanks for adding your voice and your insight. For engaging with your coll... READ MORE >

Many things make AU the incredible event it is, but certainly near the top of that list are the AU speakers themselves—the users, experts, innovators, and (yes) Autodeskers who share their knowledge, demonstrate new workflows, and move industry practice forward. Simply put, without our speakers, there would be no AU. More than 850 speakers and co-speakers led sessions at AU 2018, each with unique insights and knowledge to offer, and attendees filled out nearly 13,000 class surveys over the course of the week. After accounting for factors like attendance and class format, we’re now ready to ann... READ MORE >

In this era of rapid technological change and the ongoing evolution in the ways we make and build, at least one thing remains constant: the need to continue learning. That’s what the AU learning community is all about. And AU Las Vegas 2018 was another incredible event.

And with the new AU web experience, you can do more than just learn. You can also connect with peers and experts, share your... READ MORE >

AU is a community focused on learning. And at AU, learning happens through community. If you’ve been to an AU conference, you know it’s about much more than just attending classes. It’s about developing personal and professional connections with colleagues and seeing how others are solving problems. It’s about allowing insights to emerge from the collective experience of thousands of industry professionals. It’s about coming together to bring the future of making into focus. But each AU conference only lasts for a few days. That’s why we’re launching a new web experience for AU today, one that... READ MORE >
