Autodesk University Goes Online for 2020

Autodesk University  2019 General Session Opening Keynote
Today, an important decision was announced about Autodesk University 2020. In the interest of safety the event was going digital. I know it is a difficult decision to make, but I’m certain it was the right thing to do and they will make the very best of it. Perhaps we can hold the annual AU5k and AU Social Meetup in a creative and fun way. This is only for this year so there is still a chance for AU 2021 and us being together again.

AU Conferences go digital in 2020

The Announcement

“To our valued AU community,

Each year I look forward to engaging with our customers and partners at Autodesk University events around the world. It’s a time when thousands of professionals from the construction, manufacturing, architecture, and engineering industries come together to learn, network, and share knowledge.

As we continue to monitor and respond to the challenges caused by COVID-19, we have decided to host all Autodesk University conferences as digital experiences this year. This includes our flagship Autodesk University conference in Las Vegas scheduled for November, as well as our international AU events in the UK, India, Japan, China, and Germany. We are also evaluating ways to digitize our preconference events, including the Leadership Forum, Connect & Construct Summit, and Forge DevCon.

With each AU, our community has grown, evolved, and improved. This year will be no exception. I’m excited by the prospect of creating our first digital AU event and building on the experience our AU website provides. The reimagined format presents a great opportunity for us to be innovative and stretch our capabilities to support and empower our customers in new ways—not just in the context of our AU conferences but throughout the year.

We’ll be sharing additional information about our Autodesk University digital events, including event dates and speaker and sponsorship opportunities, on the Autodesk University homepage over the coming months. We’ll also update the FAQ page as we have more details to share.

We look forward to engaging with you at Autodesk University in a different way this year, no matter where you are.

Stay tuned and stay healthy.
Lisa Campbell
Chief Marketing Officer, Autodesk”
