Autodesk University Call for Proposals

Call for proposals for Autodesk University will be open on April 22nd, you then have until May 26th to get your proposal in.

Good Luck!

I know they literately get thousands of proposals that they have to go through and select the ones they feel best suite their audience. I wont tell you how many times I've submitted (excellent) session proposals to AU with no luck! Finally last year I got in, but only as a co-speaker thanks to my friend Justin James of Reach Consulting. We did a fantastic job last year on Justin's session BM7557 - Real Revit set up and its partnership with a BIM Execution Plan

If your going to submit a proposal here are some key topics AU are looking for are:

· Building Information Modeling (BIM) (Duh!)

· 3D printing

· Cloud services

· Reality computing

· Fabrication for AEC

· Advanced manufacturing techniques

Theyre also looking for classes that focus on Autodesk software like Fusion 360, Revit, BIM 360, 3ds Max, Maya, AutoCAD products, and the range of other Autodesk products that support industries from infrastructure to entertainment. Check out last year's classes to get an idea of what type of sessions they're looking for.

Good luck!

Hope to see you at AU 2015!

AU 2014 session not to be missed

I have been asked to co-present a session at AU this year.

Woo hoo, finally I get to present at AU... even if it means I have to get in through the back door!

I wont go on and on about how many times I have submitted sessions to AU... it's a lot.... I'm proud to have been asked by Justin James of Reach Consulting to co-present with him, it means a lot to me just to be asked!

Justin and I have presented and taught together in the past on the subject of BIM, we are both passionate about the subject which comes across during our presentations (I think JJ may in fact be better at presenting than I am, but dont tell him I said that!).

Autodesk University 2014, December 2-4 Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas.
