Yep, it\u2019s that time again. The AU Las Vegas 2016 Call for Proposals is just around the corner\u2014opening in April. Maybe you\u2019re a seasoned speaker, or maybe you\u2019re a first-timer. Whatever the case, we can’t wait to hear your ideas, so get those gears turning and bulbs popping. We\u2019ll bring you more info in the weeks to come, but for now here\u2019s a quick look at this year\u2019s hot topics. We\u2019re particularly interested in class proposals on:<\/p>\n
Product Design \u2013 <\/strong>AU 2016 will continue to focus on the changing world of product design and how you can keep up, and stay ahead.<\/p>\n Building Construction \u2013 <\/strong>We\u2019ll look at BIM workflows that are changing the way we design and construct buildings, and how you can improve collaboration across multiple teams and projects.<\/p>\n Structural Engineering \u2013 <\/strong>We\u2019ll examine emerging trends and technologies, plus learn model-based workflows and tools to improve design productivity, accuracy, and analysis.<\/p>\n Internet of Things \u2013 <\/strong>We\u2019re putting IoT in the spotlight this year, focusing on how connected systems can enable cycles of self-improvement. Sound far-fetched? Check out Autodesk Research Intern Lisa Rotzinger\u2019s talk at last year\u2019s Leadership Forum<\/a> to see how designing connected objects in context will change the future of making things.<\/p>\n Design Visualization<\/strong> \u2013<\/strong> We\u2019ll build on last year\u2019s great Design Visualization LIVE kickoff and continue to harness emerging expertise, diving even deeper into uses and implications across all industries. Industry leaders like Jeff Mottle, founder of CGarchitect, helped shape a first-of-its-kind experience for visualization professionals<\/a> during AU 2015. This year, AU will continue to be the place the design visualization community turns to for insight and innovation.<\/p>\n 3D Printing <\/strong>is changing the face of product design and production. We know it. You know it. So we\u2019ll continue to highlight how today\u2019s manufacturers, designers, and doers are (ahem) shaping the future of making things.<\/p>\n These are just a few of the many great topics we\u2019re planning to explore at AU Las Vegas 2016 this November. (You do remember it\u2019s in November, right?) But we can\u2019t do that without inspiring people like you, who are out in the field pushing the design and engineering envelope\u2014and using Autodesk technologies to do it. That\u2019s right, we mean you. So get ready. Because here we come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yep, it\u2019s that time again.
