When you think about your business, what are your goals, your dreams, your vision? What would you do if you could? You need a platform to simplify how you work, unlock the power of your data, and standardize your processes. Autodesk is that platform. We are enabling construction companies all over the world to forget the old days of a highly fragmented industry and to benefit from connected construction. During this keynote, Autodesk leaders will share Autodesk Construction Cloud updates and highlight industry innovators who are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

Calling all developers! Join this session to learn what’s new with Forge and hear how we are investing in new programs, tools, and APIs to make you more successful. Help us choose the “best of the best” application from our Forge Hackathon, learn how the new App Store Partner Program can drive more users to your app, and get inspired from your peers who are already using the new Forge Data APIs to increase productivity and decrease costs. Whether you are a veteran Forge Developer or just getting started on the Forge platform, this session is for you.

Today, building design decisions are not informed by what can be made. Construction processes are iterative, manual, slow, and reactive, with high risk and uncertainty. Data and tools are disconnected and don’t allow processes to work at scale. In this session, we'll go over our Manufacturing Informed Design project. We’ll examine how it brings together our portfolio to inform the design process as early as possible, and we’ll look at how the Autodesk Forge API we’re developing for this will enable our customers and partners to extend our solution. The Manufacturing Informed Design API will be a simple way for customers to 1) publish product templates from Inventor software into Autodesk Construction Cloud or Fusion Team, 2) discover those product templates via the API or Revit, and 3) customize and insert variants from a simple API. We’ll also cover how we’re extending the Autodesk Forge Viewer for simple low- or no-code configuration workflows.
