20+ Years of Design, Technology & More
In several years of attending AU one thing has been a common occurrence and that is a group of attendees with several questions for Autodesk employees and teams outside the class or event hours. What usually takes place is a group of people huddle around a laptop to see a demo or how to accomplish something or as a group solve a problem or show something cool. And I have goodies to give away!
Autodesk University 2011 officially begins in just 3 days, but it begins for me in less than 24 hours. I will begin to post photos to the AU 2011 Photo Group Pool and my Flickr Photostream of behind the scenes, the people, and the event this weekend.
Autodesk University attendees have the opportunity to win a MakerBot Thing-O-Matic or other great prizes by using their creativity in the 123D Fab! Challenge.
Never being content for towing the typical expected experience in events, presentations, or social media we came up with a way to show what our creative customers do in a very interesting experimental way. We have done wild things over the years at main stage and certainly pushing that proverbial envelope. Anyone remember the 360 degree immersive Project Metropolis (now known as Autodesk Infrastructure Modeler) shown live demo of a fly into a city on 20 HD projection screens?
As of November 14th, 2011 at 8:00 PST there are only 14 days (two weeks) remaining until Autodesk University in Las Vegas. Speakers get your handouts uploaded and get practicing your classes.
After attending every Las Vegas Autodesk University I have compiled a long list of tips for not only surviving but making the most of Autodesk University.
Autodesk University is the premier Autodesk customer event held yearly (AU History) where several thousand creative design and visualization experts descend on Las Vegas. They arrive wide eyed, craving knowledge from the best in the industry, and many seeking refuge from the seemingly endless Thanksgiving holiday turkey leftovers. They leave tired and full of valuable knowledge to make them more productive back at work.
I know I could have broken this into four posts but wanted to provide the entire wealth of tips in one place for you to select from. Think of it as a Las Vegas style food buffet of Autodesk University tips.
Project Photofly has now graduated as an Autodesk product and is now named 123D Catch. This is what Autodesk Labs is for in that we place a early technology to get feedback and support whether there is enough demand and promise to make it an Autodesk product.
Autodesk University attendees, you will be here in this location with several thousand fellow attendees in only 23 days. I was there for the afternoon yesterday preparing for AU events. It was a short trip of all work and no play.
Right now like many others I am busy around the clock with #AU2011 related events, classes, materials, and more. This crazy workload results in a annual & temporary blog post frequency reduction - but I am able to post more in small bite size chewy nuggets on Twitter.
As of today you can generate and manage isometric drawings using the Autodesk Cloud with the AutoCAD® Isometrics WS technology preview.
We want to use many of our awesome customers to create something that will be shown on the large big screens in front of 9000+ Autodesk University attendees in the general session. It will also be shown to the even large AU online audience live. You will receive perhaps fame but no fortune at this time.
