General Session
November 17 at 9 a.m., Pacific
time

Autodesk
CEO and President Andrew
Anagnost
shares an inspiring vision for how we can use data
to connect and collaborate better, extract insight, and automate tasks
.

Learn about the role data, automation, and insight play in empowering
innovators to adapt to change and achieve the new possible. During 2020, we’ve
learned to make beyond the construction site, the factory floor, and the
production studio. Whether orchestrating teams digitally, creating virtually, or
customizing our products to address shifting demand, technology is increasingly
central to our work. Discover how:

  • The Nightingale Project converted the ExCeL London
    Exhibition Centre into an emergency COVID-19 hospital with 4,000 beds, with the
    first 500 beds available in just nine days. Find out what made it possible.

  • Decathlon used generative design and other digital tools to
    make their new Van Rysel racing bicycle both a better experience for customers
    and more sustainable for the environment.

  • Laika combines digital animation and advanced manufacturing
    to create their unique stop motion movies.
  • There are also amazing industry keynotes to learn more about how Autodesk
    customers are evolving and innovating to adapt and transform their business.

    Architecture, Engineering & Construction
    Keynote

    Tune in for this two-part session to hear from Autodesk design and
    construction leadership as they unveil real and relevant updates across the
    portfolio as well as highlight visionaries from across the global industry as
    they push the boundaries of what is possible. Where most would see challenges,
    those in architecture, engineering, and construction see opportunity. In
    response to the pandemic, teams have adopted technology overnight to enable
    remote work. To increase efficiency and reduce waste long-term, companies have
    continued to advance digitizing construction and automation of design workflows.

    The keynote will feature how:

  • Digitized workflows enabled the teams building the Bangalore
    Airport
    to go to remote site management overnight when the lockdown
    started.

  • Federating access to project data and models enabled Norconsult
    to reduce production of drawings by 97%.

  • BIM-based processes in DfMA enabled Bryden Wood to lower
    embodied carbon by 19% and reduce labor by 35%.
  • Design & Manufacturing Keynote

    With the global pandemic, manufacturing companies have been forced to rapidly
    adjust to new ways of working remotely, disrupted supply chains, and dramatic
    shifts in consumer demand. In the Design & Manufacturing Keynote, industry
    leaders will share strategies for adaptation and driving digital transformation.
    Autodesk experts will showcase how evolving tools and technologies can help
    manufacturers build resilience, improve collaboration, and automate processes to
    overcome the critical challenges they face today and prepare for the
    opportunities of tomorrow. And you’ll hear how:

  • Hyundai used
    generative design to create the Elevate, a new vehicle that can walk over
    difficult terrain to save lives.

  • MXD is training the
    manufacturing workforce of tomorrow to work side-by-side with intelligent
    automation.
  • Forge Keynote

    Cloud technology is at the heart of enabling connected workflows, processes,
    and data. New ways of making are emerging that are driving convergence in how we
    work across industries. Join us to learn how Autodesk’s cloud platform, Forge,
    can help you harness the power of these new ways of making and take advantage of
    the opportunities that convergence is introducing. Hear from current customers
    and partners across industries who are already using the Forge Platform to do
    more with their data, bridge industry gaps, and reimagine possible.

    Learn how:

  • Toshiba
    Elevators
    combined different data sets to simplify the
    configuration and purchasing experience for customers.

  • BamCore created a
    connected construction experience for housing using sustainably harvested
    bamboo.

  • HoloBuilder used
    Forge to transform the process of construction management using virtual
    reality.
  • Media & Entertainment Keynote

    Today, there’s a boom in content as audiences consume media and entertainment
    in new ways at home, on mobile, and in AR and VR. Creators and producers are
    working to deliver more of what people want but are struggling because
    traditional production processes can’t scale. Production needs to become more
    collaborative, innovative, and open. Join Autodesk leaders and customers like Laika to learn how our latest technology helps
    coordinate and customize processes and forge scalable connections between teams,
    studios, and ecosystems. By partnering with companies like NVIDIA
    and Adobe around open standards and moving
    production to the cloud, we empower innovators to craft more meaningful stories
    and bolder visions.
