From driving digital transformation to building resilience through sustainability and cloud-based solutions, AU 2024 covers the essential topics to help you improve your business—both in the short and long term.
Why should you attend AU 2024? For starters, there is no other construction event quite like it. Autodesk University brings together AEC thought leaders and professionals in an environment that’s primed for learning, networking, and innovation.
But let’s get to the specifics. Here are five reasons AU 2024 is a must-attend for construction pros—plus tips on how to maximize your time during the event.
AU 2024 has 500+ sessions on a variety of AEC industry topics, including 100+ construction-specific classes. You’ll get to attend and participate in a variety of class and session types, including:

We're not exaggerating when we say this is one of the biggest learning opportunities of the year for construction professionals. AU sessions will cover popular workflows and topics, including:
No matter where you are in your business or career, you’re bound to find something that resonates with you.
For an industry that’s often mischaracterized as “traditional,” the construction sector is always changing. And AU 2024 will empower you to keep up with these changes.
With sessions dedicated to emerging trends—including digital twins, AI, and industrialized construction—you’ll have no problem keeping tabs on the latest developments in the industry.
So whether you’re looking to improve project efficiency, secure that promotion, or drive higher ROI for your clients, AU 2024 will give you the insights you need to meet your objectives.
We’re planning to unveil exciting announcements at AU 2024. Jim Lynch, SVP & GM of Autodesk Construction Solutions, will take the stage during AU 2024 in which he’ll talk about what’s next for our construction platform and solutions and the things you can look forward to as part of the Autodesk family.
While you’re at AU 2024, make it a point to stop by the Expo floor to discover what’s next for your field.
The Expo at AU will feature hundreds of partners within the Autodesk ecosystem. Meet the developers behind the tech and get up close and hand-on with emerging solutions that can help transform your business.
One of the best things about 2024 is in-person networking. This year’s conference gives you dozens of opportunities to do this. Participate in AU 2024 meetups, workshops, and receptions to meet your fellow innovators and build real-world connections that can’t be replicated online.
