Autodesk University 2017 Celebrates the Future of Making Things
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — **Autodesk University** kicked off its 25th anniversary event today, bringing together thousands of architects, engineers, designers, and digital creators from around the globe. Held for the third consecutive year as a carbon-neutral conference, Autodesk University (AU) continues to serve as a hub for innovation, collaboration, and learning in an era where design and technology are more intertwined than ever.
In his first keynote as CEO, Andrew Anagnost emphasized the transformative power of automation and AI, highlighting how these technologies can drive job creation and economic growth rather than just displacement. “Automation will bring change, but it’s not all about loss. It’s about opportunity,†he said, setting the tone for a week focused on the future of making.
As part of its commitment to empowering users, Autodesk announced several new initiatives aimed at helping people develop skills for tomorrow’s industries. These efforts align with the company’s broader mission to support sustainability, innovation, and inclusivity across sectors.
Throughout the event, attendees had the chance to hear from industry leaders like Amy Bunszel, who shared insights on how current tools can be used to shape the future of design and construction. On Thursday, executives provided a glimpse into the future of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC), as well as manufacturing, featuring real-world examples from companies such as Kalitta Motorsports, Skanska, and Van Wijnen.
New features in Fusion 360 and BIM 360 were also highlighted, alongside exciting partnerships, including one with Dropbox using the Forge platform. The event also featured the AU Theater, where thought leaders presented on topics ranging from AI to climate solutions, offering a fresh perspective on the future of design.
Attendees explored interactive exhibits showcasing cutting-edge technologies, including additive manufacturing, augmented reality, and even a working Hyperloop pod. The exhibit layout itself was designed using Autodesk's Project Discover, ensuring a seamless experience for all participants.
This year’s event also marked a significant step in sustainability, with Autodesk partnering with BioLite to offset its carbon footprint. By purchasing carbon credits, Autodesk helped distribute over 10,000 clean-burning stoves in Uganda and India, contributing to a total of 113,000 tons of CO₂ offset.
Supported by Diamond sponsors Dell and HP, AU continues to grow as a global platform for learning and innovation. With events held in 14 countries and over 2.5 million online participants, the conference remains a vital resource for professionals seeking to stay ahead in an evolving industry.
