Media & Entertainment and Design Visualization at AU 2022

As streaming services have matured, the cloud has become a way that many of us consume media and entertainment content today—and it’s becoming increasingly central to how we create and produce that content, too. Whether you’re talking about sharing dailies in real time from set, collaborating with effects producers and animators on other continents, or sharing design visualization experiences of new buildings, cars, or products from anywhere, digital transformation is creating new possibilities for producers, creators, and technicians.

AU 2022 is the place to build your skills in media and design visualization and learn how to take advantage of new processes, new technologies, distributed workflows, and open-source solutions like Universal Scene Description (USD). Join colleagues, peers, and like-minded professionals for three days of learning and exploration September 27-29. Check out what’s in store and register now.

General Sessions and industry keynotes

In the General Session Day 1, Autodesk President and CEO Andrew Anagnost will be sharing important news and plans about the future of the cloud, and what that means for design visualization, collaboration, and production—don’t miss it. Then join the General Session on Day 2 to hear how leaders from across industries are using the cloud and other technologies to transform their companies and the way they serve customers. And don’t miss the Autodesk Excellence Awards ceremony on Tuesday at 5:30 PM for a chance to see some of the most innovative projects in architecture, engineering, infrastructure, manufacturing, and media.
