BIMigration: Transforming AECO Through Immigration, Diversity, and Technology
Through this conversation, you’ll see the journey of five different architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO) professionals from different countries and backgrounds. They’ll talk about their experiences maneuvering through the AEC industry and the unique situations they’ve faced. Learn how they adapted to the new environments, cultures, and practices while working to provide excellence in their respective fields. This conversation will provide insight into how diversity, equity, and inclusion can positively impact your company, its culture, the way it’s perceived in the industry—and its bottom line.
Data Exchange for Rhino: The New Light in Design Interoperability
One of the major challenges in architecture—especially with the increased adoption of digital technology in the design process—is interoperability and coordination between design teams that often use software such as Rhino and production teams that use Revit software. In many cases, successfully achieving coordination between these two aspects of the design process requires specialization and complicated workflows. This session will show the benefits of using Autodesk Data Exchange for Rhino to assist in the greater interoperability between Rhino and Revit, leading to better coordination during the project lifecycle. We’ll show how Data Exchange for Rhino significantly softens the traditional learning curve for design coordination, giving common users an easy-to-use software. Lastly, we’ll highlight some of the other Data Exchange integrations for Grasshopper, Dynamo, and Autodesk Inventor software, and how they impact the design process.
The AutoCAD World Cup
Tuesday, Nov 14 | 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM
Come and have some fun in a class that will focus on deciding which is your favorite AutoCAD command. Using the World Cup format, we’ll determine group winners to qualify for knockout stages through interactive voting. Let’s discover some hidden and unknown command gems. Is OVERKILL your favorite? Or maybe MOCORO? It’s time to decide once and for all. If you want to attend something a bit different and interactive, this is the class for you.
Democratize Sustainability: Connected Data for Infrastructure Excellence
Autodesk strives to enhance its comprehensive products, empowering professionals from various fields with vast toolsets to facilitate the transition toward a sustainable future. Despite significant advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), keeping pace with innovation remains a challenge, especially when addressing sustainability complexities throughout design, construction, and operations. Hence, we present a framework using Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection and Innovyze products to help engineers and sustainability professionals identify sustainable solutions for civil infrastructure. Our solution democratizes sustainable design, construction, and operations through a live, collaborative common data environment, linking Envision Sustainability Guidelines and Principles with industry best practices and workflows. It aims to document practices, providing guidance across multiple dimensions of sustainability throughout the entire civil infrastructure project lifecycle.
Energize Change: How to Promote Sustainability in Manufacturing
Wednesday, Nov 15 | 8:15 AM - 9:45 AM
Sustainable manufacturing is rapidly becoming imperative for the success of our business and products. Despite supply-line shortages, increased material and energy costs, environmental impact, and consumer expectations, we see a resistance to change and innovation around sustainability within the larger manufacturing industry. This roundtable will discuss technologies and processes that leading manufacturers and innovators are using for sustainable design and manufacturing, and how to promote and incentivize them within a company and on a global scale. We will share the outcomes of this discussion with you to help you overcome these barriers upon returning to your organization.
Getting into the Flow: The Ins and Outs of Autodesk CFD
Wednesday, Nov 15 | 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM

Up and Running with Inventor Nastran: Tops Tips and Workflows
Inventor Nastran software is a powerful and comprehensive tool available with the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection. Despite software availability and simulation continually becoming easier to use, there remains a fundamental question on the mind of every designer and engineer: How do I know my results are correct? This is the main reason for the lack of workplace adoption of Inventor Nastran. Inventor Nastran, although easy to use, has a comprehensive set of tools to help you answer this question and make sense of your results. These include mesh convergence, numerous result plots, nonlinear analysis, and much more. The session will include workflows and tips based on industry best practices. The goal of this session is to make you more confident in using Inventor Nastran software, and thus help you make better and more-innovative products within your workplace
Sustainability is critical globally for customers
Wednesday, Nov 15 | 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
What are the challenges and the realities of design for sustainability in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry? Is the core question measuring and reducing carbon footprint, or is there more? What can be done right now, and what is a stretch today? Are partners and customers driving change, or are government regulations driving change? Ron Locklin of Autodesk will moderate this panel, which will include Symetri, one of Autodesk's largest global partners, as well as several customers that are leaders in this space.
Shared Coordinates in 30 Minutes or Less!
Do you struggle to understand shared coordinates? Are you manually moving design models into the correct location? Are you constantly forced to do redesign work because models aren't aligned correctly? If you've answered YES to any of these questions then this lab is for you! Collaborating with architects, designers and engineers within the context of a real-world coordinate system doesn't have to be painful or time-consuming. In this lab you'll discover for yourself just how quick and easy it is to properly geo-reference point clouds, Revit models, Civil 3D drawings and much more within the Autodesk Construction Cloud. Along the way we'll discuss best practices, tips-n-tricks, and what to watch out for when working with shared coordinates. At the end of this lab you'll be able to quickly AND correctly define a shared coordinate system for ALL the design files of your project and cross-link them into other design applications, enabling better design decisions.
Mission Possible: Making Sustainability Approachable and Achievable
As the demand for sustainability initiatives grows within the AECO industry, there is increasing pressure from clients, leadership, and regulatory requirements to reduce embodied carbon and environmental impacts.
