Build your community and expand your world at AU 2025

Our focus at AU 2025 is developing a vibrant and diverse Design and Make community that emphasizes learning and discovery through connection and collaboration. Join your community this September 16 to 18 in Nashville, celebrating innovation and exploring endless opportunities.
The world is changing like never before, and the AU community is leading the charge in defining what that world will look like. Experts, innovators, and curiosity seekers will be heading to Nashville to discover the latest and swap ideas in architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, or media & entertainment.
This year, we’ve designed AU 2025 around intentional connections and community building. Our sessions are carefully curated for hands-on, interactive experiences. At AU 2025, you’ll find the brightest minds on The Innovators Stage, discover an expanded Expo experience, filled with new ways to connect, collaborate and engage, and be the first to see the latest trends and advancements in AI and sustainability.
Bring it all together by taking part in Human-centered design workshops focused on tackling your complex challenges through agile leadership skills, strategic problem solving, and structured collaboration.
For something more lowkey, The Community Zone is a lively space to socialize, recharge yourself (and your phone!) or simply kick back and relax. We’ve got retro games, speed networking...and puppies. No, seriously. We have puppies.
Craving a deep dive in tech? Kick off your AU experience with the Platform Leadership Forum on September 15. This half-day, pre-conference event is specifically tailored to visionary business leaders and developers, showcasing how Autodesk Platform Services can power innovation to build smarter, faster, and more connected solutions. The Platform Leadership Forum is a unique space where you can connect with specialized tech talent and leaders, making the most of your AU 2025 experience.
And what’s a community without a little fun? We can’t forget our legendary AU socials! Connect with old friends and new faces at evening receptions, social spaces, and the AU Celebration to wrap up your unforgettable experience in Nashville.
