Announcing the AU 2019 General Session Speakers

AU General Session

At AU Las Vegas, the General Session is consistently among the most mind-expanding and eye-opening sessions you'll attend. It frames the entire week, establishing many of the themes and introducing the big ideas you’ll see in classes, presentations, and Expo exhibits.

This year, Autodesk President and CEO Andrew Anagnost will explore how automation can help us design and make in better ways, how it’s changing not only what we make, but how we work and what we work with.

He'll be joined onstage by these keynote speakers:
