AU 2024 promises to be a hub of innovation, offering a plethora of unique sessions designed to inspire creativity and forward-thinking among attendees. This year, the conference will feature a variety of unique formats and topics that break away from conventional learning and engagement methods.
These are several of the non-traditional session highlights we think you’re going to love this year at AU 2024.
Deciding when and how to make the move from BIM 360 or PlanGrid to Autodesk Construction Cloud can be complicated and very specific to your needs. In this Knowledge Bite you will hear from Autodesk on what our bigger picture plans around supporting data transitions, what migration solutions are available now, and share best practices on how to make your transition process a success.
Participants will meet at the designated area in the Community Zone in the Sails Pavilion. Please be on time. Following guided prompts, you’ll sit across from someone and have a short conversation, exchange information (we recommend connecting in the AU app—quick and easy!), and then rotate to meet someone new in a series of brief exchanges. The goal is to meet as many people as possible.
Note that the number of people you might meet depends on how many enroll—don’t miss out on participating in our AU Speed Networking pilot program!
Got cost data from your active construction projects? Join us for an experience designed to demonstrate one of many ways to put it to work using Autodesk construction products.
