Autodesk University 2008 Show Guide

Autodesk University EXPERTS, LIKE YOU Autodesk University is one of my favorite events of the year. It’s the perfect opportunity for me to talk with customers from all over the world about their projects, their use of Autodesk tools, and the challenges they’re facing in their day-to-day work. The knowledge I bring back from AU stays with me all year long, and infl uences the direction of Autodesk in the years to come. And with innovation becoming more important to the world of business and the world in general, there’s never been a better time to learn more about how you can use Autodesk’s technologies to experience your ideas before they’re real. This year we are expecting 10,000+ experts like you to attend AU, making this our biggest year ever. They’ll be coming to learn new skills, meet other talented professionals, and have a great time while they’re at it. Some of the highlights of the AU experience include: • The opportunity to explore the latest trends and technologies— including concepts such as Digital Prototyping, building information modeling (BIM), and sustainable design. • 600+ classes, labs, and lectures to help you boost your productivity and take your capabilities—and your company—to the next level. • The chance to meet face to face with Autodesk executives and product managers, giving you a better understanding of where Autodesk is going and the opportunity to infl uence the future development of the products you use every day. • An evening Pecha Kucha event, in which a range of compelling speakers give short, high-energy presentations on design, innovation, and other topics relevant to design professionals. • Keynote speaker Tom Kelley, founder and general manager of IDEO (one of the world’s leading design companies), and author of two widely read books on innovation (The Art of Innovation and The Ten Faces of Innovation). He will off er his unique perspec tive on how innovation happens in the real world and his view that innovation can happen anywhere. This year’s event has been designed to inspire us all to learn more, do more, and explore the possibilities of design together. Welcome to Autodesk University 2008.
