We recently held the Autodesk University 2020, free and online due to the COVID-19 pandemic making it unsafe to gather 10,000 attendees traveling and meeting in one place. The Autodesk University 2020 was over 100,000 attendees and I do hope science finds a way we can get back to meeting in person for Autodesk University once again.I have been asked where al, the AU locations have been, so here is my updated list and adding it to my Autodesk History pages too at https://autodesk.blogs.com/between_the_lines/autodesk-university-history.html.
While many of you are home, and the Autodesk University and all those thousands of hours of sessions of great learning from the worlds best take advantage of it until we can meet up again.
