Five Reasons to Attend AU 2024
Attending AU 2024 is an important investment in your future—and the collective future that we’re all making together through better Design and Make processes. Not sure whether you should make the conference a priority? Here are five reasons why you should get your Full Conference Pass now and join us in San Diego, October 15–17.
1) Achieving success through sustainability
More than ever, successful design is sustainable design. At AU 2024, you can get inspired by visionary thought leadership in General Session and the Industry Keynotes, check out projects that have put these ideas into practice in Theater talks and the Expo, and learn the tools and workflows to do it yourself in classes. It’s up to each of us to integrate sustainability into our work, and AU 2024 is the place to discover what that means for you and your industry.
2) Getting ahead of the curve with AI
There’s no question that AI is creating new possibilities for how we design and make—sometimes monthly, sometimes weekly. A new era is beginning, and as a professional in the Design and Make industries, you’re perfectly poised to put this technology to work—to reimagine the processes we’ve used up till now and pioneer the AI-driven workflows that will shape the future. AI will be everywhere at AU 2024, from important announcements on the main stage to product briefings for the next generation of tools. See how leading companies are using AI to increase resiliency, boost efficiency, and augment the abilities of creative problem solvers everywhere.
3) Forging trusted partnerships
Whatever future we design and make, it’s something we’ll do together. We need the skills and expertise of diverse professionals working toward a common purpose, and AU 2024 is the place to forge those connections and build those bridges. Expand your professional network through 30+ Meetups, plus dozens of receptions and events where you can find your people and share ideas with likeminded professionals.
4) Advancing your career
Learning is the key to transformation, and with 600+ classes led by experts and peers, you can develop new skills, unlock new ways of working, and find your place in the future of your industry at AU 2024.
5) Making the future
We know how we got here—and we’ve achieved remarkable things. Now, it’s time for us to envision the future that we want to see—then design it and make it a reality. Join other Design and Make professionals to celebrate the possibilities, explore big ideas, and discover practical approaches to make them happen. Because at AU 2024, the future comes to life.
