Better Starts Here at Autodesk University 2019 Main Stage

Stories/Inspiration

This week is the event of the year for Autodesk, Autodesk University 2019. Taking up the massive Sands convention center in Las Vegas, the conference is the pinnacle of innovation of Autodesk products. From vendors to engineering firms to Autodesk research projects, everything is on display here in Vegas.

The event happens every year, and each year it’s kicked off by the general session, where Autodesk CEO, Andrew Anagnost sets the tone for the entire conference. Perhaps the tone of the entire next year of Autodesk innovation, marketing, and engineering.

In the general session this year, we’ve heard from Andrew, Volkswagen, Disney Imagineering, and a ton of other fantastic innovators from across industries.

So, what’s this year’s motto and them? Better starts here. 

So what does that mean? Main stage at AU2019 has been filled with presentations about how companies are utilizing Autodesk products to make the world a better place. Whether that be creating sustainable housing after natural disasters or reducing the carbon footprint of airplanes through generative design.

If you don’t have the luxury of being at Autodesk University in person, be sure to stay tuned on all of our social media channels as the idea of “Better Starts Here” evolves in the next few days. If you want to watch the entire general session presentation, the live stream recording is linked below!
