The Opportunity for Better Starts at Autodesk University 2019
LAS VEGAS, November 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The much-anticipated Autodesk University (AU) has officially kicked off today, marking the beginning of the annual gathering hosted by Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK). This global event brings together over 12,000 professionals from diverse fields such as construction, manufacturing, architecture, engineering, and media creation. Over four packed days, participants will dive into immersive learning sessions and network extensively, all aimed at equipping them with the skills necessary to shape a more innovative and sustainable future.
The conference commenced with a compelling opening keynote delivered by Autodesk's President and CEO, Andrew Anagnost. He emphasized the company's unwavering commitment to empowering industries with tools that achieve more while minimizing environmental impact. This year’s theme encapsulates the idea of striving for better—better workflows, outcomes, and ultimately, a better world—as industries continue to adapt and grow. Joining Anagnost were notable guest speakers, including Dr. Elizabeth Hausler, founder and CEO of Build Change, known for her work in building disaster-resilient structures, and Asa Kalama, executive creative director at Walt Disney Imagineering.
Anagnost expressed his excitement about the conference, stating, “AU Las Vegas is a testament to the incredible ways our customers are harnessing technology to drive change and seize opportunities for improvement.†He hoped that attendees would leave inspired and motivated to implement similar advancements within their own industries.
The event will feature two additional keynotes, one focusing on innovations in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), and the other highlighting developments in design and manufacturing. These sessions will spotlight cutting-edge technologies and collaborative efforts across industries, fostering cross-disciplinary innovation.
Beyond the classrooms, attendees can explore the AU Las Vegas Expo, where they’ll encounter groundbreaking technologies transforming how businesses design, produce, and construct. Highlights include an AI-designed chair, the world’s largest AR-enabled hybrid manufacturing machine, and forward-thinking solutions in sustainable water infrastructure design. A dedicated space will also showcase a high-performance sports and entertainment venue built with community engagement at its core.
Additionally, AU provides an opportunity to connect with the Autodesk Community Team as they launch the new Autodesk Group Network. Comprising over 80 existing global groups and leaders, this initiative seeks to enhance user collaboration and innovation across sectors and software platforms.
