Public Company Information: NASDAQ: ADSK LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Autodesk University \u2014\u00a0<\/strong>Autodesk, Inc<\/a>. (Nasdaq:ADSK) kicked off its annual flagship user event today, welcoming almost 10,000 attendees to learn, network and explore the future of making things.\u00a0Autodesk University<\/a>\u00a0(AU) showcases the new ways that buildings, products and more are being designed, made and used. At the event, the company will unveil new and updated technologies that give Autodesk customers the power to make anything. Autodesk will also outline plans for a streamlined portfolio of cloud platforms that simplify the work of designers, engineers, digital artists and others. \u201cWe\u2019re all in on the cloud. Access to infinite computing power and the ability to work together effortlessly is completely changing how design and engineering are done,\u201d said Carl Bass, CEO of Autodesk. Today in their keynote speeches, Bass and CTO Jeff Kowalski will share a vision for the future of work, where designers and engineers will collaborate with computers to achieve more than was previously possible. The keynote will feature appearances by people whose endeavors embody this emerging future: Anna Nixon, a high school student from Oregon competing in the\u00a0First Robotics Competition<\/a>\u00a0and Christian Benimana, Rwanda\u2019s first trained architect and programs director for\u00a0MASS Design Group<\/a>. Throughout the event, Autodesk University attendees will see how their peers are taking advantage of the transformative power of technologies like generative design, augmented and virtual reality, robotics, additive manufacturing and more. Tomorrow Senior Vice President of Products Amar Hanspal will delve deeper into Autodesk\u2019s product portfolio and cloud software platforms, breaking news on new capabilities coming to\u00a0Fusion 360<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0BIM 360<\/a>. (Posts tomorrow on Autodesk\u2019s\u00a0In The Fold<\/a>\u00a0blog will detail the news.) Hanspal will also spotlight\u00a0Forge<\/a>, Autodesk\u2019s connected developer platform used to build and deploy apps and services for making the world around us. In the year since Forge was launched, the platform has surpassed 4,000 applications, which span a variety of uses ranging from part inspection to sub-sea surveying. Autodesk has invested in several companies through its Forge Fund and has aggressively broadened the Forge platform, focusing on enhancements to AR\/VR and rendering to drive immersive real-time industry focused experiences. (See Autodesk\u2019s\u00a0newsroom<\/a>\u00a0for a related announcement on Forge today.) \u201cWith our ongoing shift to cloud services, we are 100% focused on delivering maximum value to our subscribers and software developers. We are building a set of complete, connected and on-demand experiences for each of our major industries. Our aim is to empower engineers, designers and other users to have their project data in one place, collaborate across geographies, and more easily tap into the immense capabilities in Autodesk\u2019s portfolio,\u201d said Hanspal. Customer projects from\u00a0Briggs Automotive Company<\/a>,\u00a0Swinerton Builders<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0JE Dunn Construction\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0will showcase how they are using cloud services to pioneer new ways of working, try new business models and embrace the future. In addition to the keynotes, hundreds of hands-on classes and networking with peers, the conference offers dozens of interactive exhibits that bring the future of making things to life. Examples include live industrial robotic 3D printing, a brick-laying construction robot, the first-ever generatively designed office building, an open-sourced 3D printed drone, a virtual reality experience to configure a full-scale Ford Mustang, and augmented reality construction hard hats. While these technologies are expected to reach the mainstream in the next one to four years, they’re available today for those cutting-edge innovators who are propelling us into the future. AU concludes on Thursday with an appearance by comedian, actor and former fake-news correspondent\u00a0Rob Corddry<\/a>, followed by a keynote from Autodesk SVP for Business Strategy and Marketing Andrew Anagnost recapping the highlights and lessons of the event. This year\u2019s flagship Autodesk University event in Las Vegas is supported by Diamond sponsors HP, Dell and Lenovo.
