Autodesk is committed to using the power of design to make a positive impact on the world we live in. This year, the Autodesk Foundation<\/a> is bringing 75 designers and engineers from nonprofits, clean tech startups and social enterprises around the world to take part in the 1st-ever AU Las Vegas Impact Leadership Summit, an invitation-only event that will be held throughout the week of AU. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve invited a few of these organizations to present in a special session called Inspiration to Impact: How Five Nonprofits Are Designing a Better Future<\/a>. Will you join us?<\/p>\n

The session will be held Wednesday, December 2, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. and is a great chance to get inspired and then grab a drink with Autodesk Foundation nonprofit customers who are using Autodesk software to do incredible work. These organizations will each spend 5 minutes talking about how they\u2019re designing a more sustainable future and how Autodesk customers can partner with them to deliver more impact. Then we\u2019ll head to a nearby bar for a hosted happy hour (translation\u2014free drinks) to learn more. Register now<\/a> to be part of this feel good AU moment you won\u2019t want to miss. Here\u2019s a little more about each of the nonprofits who\u2019ll be presenting: <\/p>\n
