This case study explores how digital transformation happens, starting from the traditional design process and moving to Autodesk Forma using building information modeling (BIM) tools. It also identifies challenges, the importance of education and training, and the short-term and long-term benefits. The major challenge is the lack of capacity and capability, lack of a common platform, absence of standardization, inconsistencies in workflow and processes, and loss of information. We initiated the transformation by redefining the workflow processes, bringing Autodesk Forma, standardizing design language and deliverables, creating libraries, and training. This increased adaptation, leading to an increase in efficiency of model development, peer review, design collaboration, design management, and approval by all stakeholders. We were also able to define roles and responsibilities, ensure version control across all stakeholders, and review clash detection, thus improving on-time efficiency, accuracy, and quality of the deliverables by sharing information and collaborating.

Join us for an exciting panel discussion and hear firsthand accounts from our diverse panelists who have successfully transitioned to Autodesk Forma. This session offers a unique opportunity to understand the real-world benefits. Our panelists, hailing from various industries, will share their experiences, the obstacles they overcame, and the efficiencies they gained through this transition. They will explore how Autodesk Forma has reshaped their daily operations, streamlined workflows, and improved collaboration across their teams. You'll also hear about the challenges, including change management, training needs, and initial setup requirements. You'll gain a well-rounded understanding of what transitioning to Autodesk Forma entails, and leave equipped with practical knowledge, valuable tips, and strategies that can guide your own journey to the cloud. Whether you're considering a transition or already on the path, this panel discussion is an invaluable opportunity to learn from those who've walked in your shoes.

You've heard about how Autodesk Informed Design software lets Inventor users push product configurations to Autodesk Forma for quick and easy specification by Revit end users. Are you wondering how to get started with Informed Design and its use of Codeblocks, though? Here's your chance to roll up your sleeves and get your hands on the Informed Design tools. Focusing on iLogic and Codeblocks, we'll walk through four targeted lessons to provide you with the confidence and familiarity you need to create Informed Design configurations that align with your daily work. We'll provide you with written and recorded tutorials, as well as detailed companion data sets so that once you've returned to the office, you can revisit what you've learned at AU 2024. This class is aimed at Inventor users who have some familiarity with iLogic, and who want to understand how iLogic and Informed Design Codeblocks fit together to provide a solution to inform the Revit world about manufactured designs.

According to the 2025 Autodesk Design and Make Report, training is the #1 driver of technology adoption — and AI is set to lead that charge. Join the Global eTraining founding team and AEC industry leaders for the ribbon-cutting launch of GeT’s pioneering AI-driven platform, built to close the digital skills gap, accelerate technology adoption, and confirm project-ready teams. This revolutionary platform transforms corporate training into a powerful catalyst for adoption and retention, with AI capabilities developed directly from client needs. By turning company data into actionable knowledge, it bridges the gap between information and insight. More than a feature upgrade, this is a fundamental shift toward learning that is just-in-time, just-enough, and just-for-me — advancing GeT’s mission to “learn faster, retain more, and save time.”

Hear from top AEC firms, including Jacobs, Stantec, HDR, SLB, Tetra Tech, SSOE, and STV, as they share how they’re closing the digital skills gap using Autodesk’s 3-step framework from the 2025 Design & Make Report. Learn how AI-powered training, skills gap assessments, and embedded workflows drive tech adoption at scale. Discover the ROI: improved performance, reduced rework, stronger retention, and a competitive edge to win more bids. See how firms are leveraging AI in training to learn faster, retain more, and save time. Explore how custom learning paths and custom workflow training elevate information into knowledge management by curating and pinpointing the exact combination of external training materials with internal workflows—so teams get just enough, just in time, and just for me learning that’s applied to real-world projects.

Web APIs are the backbone of today’s internet and are the most common way we connect to web-hosted platforms. By the end of this session, attendees will be familiar with the concepts and tools needed to interact with a public API, as well as have a basic understanding of how APIs work under the hood. This workshop will cover concepts such as HTTP protocol, Authentication Schemes, and API Specs. We’ll also go through a few hands-on exercises and demonstrations of how to understand and interact with Forge and other APIs, while also learning useful tools like Postman, Curl, and Chrome Dev Tools.

Global challenges are intensifying, from climate change to workforce disruption. And companies are being called on—by customers, employees, and markets—to move beyond business as usual to create impact. This panel will explore how corporate philanthropy and impact investing are used to catalyze growth of early-stage nonprofits and start-ups for impact outcomes, including: upskilling and training a rapidly shifting workforce in the age of artificial intelligence (AI), and reducing carbon emissions from building operations, construction, and manufacturing industries. In this session, leaders from corporate foundations, nonprofits, and start-ups will share how they’re unlocking resources—including funding, technology, and expertise—to create an ecosystem for emerging solutions to our most urgent challenges to thrive. 

Is your onboarding process accelerating performance—or slowing your team down? In the AEC industry, where cost, time, and talent shortages stall Management, effective onboarding is no longer optional. With 61% of leaders struggling to find technically skilled employees, the need for structured, continuous learning is urgent. This session shares how JMT tackled capability gaps and project ramp-up delays by implementing a standardized onboarding program using Pinnacle Series. Discover how they built a scalable, trackable learning program that equips new hires to contribute faster, with less downtime. Learn how personalized training, workflow alignment, and access to best practices helped JMT boost retention, satisfaction, and billable hours. If you're ready to transform onboarding into a strategic advantage, this session will show you how to drive results from day one.

Autodesk is providing insights, technology, and training to help you and your business prepare for the future of work. However, how do you practically implement this transformation—whether its greater automation, AI (artificial intelligence), or digital twins—effectively in your projects? Are you accidentally exposing yourself to (potentially uninsured) risk and liability? Are you taking on more than you expected or costed for? In this practical and pragmatic class, receive guidance and tips on how to minimize risk and maximize profitability and effectiveness through clear documents, scope, and processes.
