If you’re looking to stay one notch above your competition, learn about the latest market disruptors, and meet industry leaders, this year’s Fabrication Experience at the Connect & Construct Summit (C&C) is one event you won’t want to miss.
In this one-day event before Autodesk University Las Vegas, numerous classes, workshops and thought leadership presentations will leave you with actionable takeaways and an insider’s view into disruptive trends like Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA), modular construction and digitization. You’ll hear inspiring real-world stories from successful firms about how they minimize risk, improve collaboration, and make the most of their Autodesk investments.
A Fabrication Experience Like No Other
Based on valuable feedback from last year’s attendees, we’ve revamped the 2019 Connect & Construct Fabrication Experience into an exciting day of learning for a wide audience, from Specialty Trade Contractors to Structural and MEP Engineers.
The day will kick off with two dynamic Connect & Construct keynotes highlighting key trends impacting your business, including strategies to reduce risk and create greater predictability in your projects.
The rest of your day will be filled with educational classes and workshops that you may register for in advance. There are 15 classes to choose from covering both fabrication topics relevant for both Structure and MEP. Can’t decide which courses are best for you? You can read session highlights that provide a quick synopsis of what to expect. You will find the Fabrication session highlights here which includes all of the classes listed below.
