Autodesk University 2012 – Submit Class Proposals

Autodesk University 2012 is now only 214 days away but if you want to be considered as a Autodesk University 2012 presenter/speaker you better get busy as there are only 25 days remaining until the deadline to have submitted your class proposals.

Being a speaker/presenter at Autodesk University is an amazing experience and opportunity to show and share your knowledge and get recognition from your peers at the largest Autodesk event in the world. Being a speaker at Autodesk University is also an excellent way to get to AU when budgets are tight as you can receive speaker honoraria that can reduce or even pay for your Autodesk University attendance and travel depending on how many classes you get selected.

123D Fab! Challenge Follow Up

When I announced the123D Fab! Challenge prior to Autodesk University 2011 (post) I had expected some wild and creations. The creative geniuses in the Autodesk Consumer Group came up with the idea for this fun challenge. The only limiting factor in my mind was the severely limited amount of time attendees have at Autodesk University which at times multiple classes and events were occurring at the same time.

Autodesk University Creative Studio and Marshmallow Mayhem

I have to say personally the Creative Studio was one of the most memorable venues at Autodesk University this year. Although time is a very precious commodity at Autodesk University, many attendees stopped in the Creative Studio including R2D2. Those that ventured into the Creative Studio were able to see featured artists, exhibits, try cool products, “pimp out” their AU badges out with LED lights, build a marshmallow gun courtesy of my Instructables friends, and even create unique things in the 123D Fab! Challenge.

Crowd Sourced Edition Legal Disclaimer at Autodesk University 2011– Behind the Scenes

At last weeks Autodesk University 2011, the General Session Keynote was kicked off with the traditional legal disclaimer to appease lawyers. In typical Autodesk University style there was a special fun version named “The Fabulous Legal Disclaimer Crowd Sourced Edition.” In past years we have had some fun and memorable versions such as the instant messenger version (YouTube http://youtu.be/Th8XFOh4-Lw) and in 2009 with Elvis singing the legal disclaimer (YouTube http://youtu.be/dezhyGv5B3A).

Autodesk University 2011 is Over, See You at AU 2012!

Last night December 2nd, 2011 the AU mixer was held which signals the end of another Autodesk University. AU 2011 will go down as one of the best in my 14 years of attending and presenting. My primary reason for the high personal marks was the amount of attendees, the Creative Studio, and the Innovation Forums added to the AU program. The only thing I would like to see is more time so I can attend more events and sessions as AU is so busy and at times I had 5 things to choose from that were going on at the same time.

Autodesk University Day 1 – What a Day

It was a great day in terms of Autodesk University classes, presentations, and the keynote. Sadly the evening did not go so well for me and my laptop. Currently I am reinstalling all applications from scratch on a new computer. My trusty laptop hardware decided to completely fry tonight both motherboard components & the hard drive.
