"Walking into Autodesk University for the first time, I expected the kind of spectacle you get at Adobe Max; glossy lights, hype, and more whooping than a Sabrina Carpenter gig. Instead, AU is, well... quieter. More thoughtful. The kind of place where a single "Woo!" from the back row behind me gets swallowed by polite silence and the occasional awkward cough."
"The theme was "make more with less" - less time, fewer resources, better results. Not exactly a line that makes you want to paint your face, hit Burning Man, and start a chant, but by the end of the demos, which included innovative AI models, animation made easier, and how everybody's a product designer now, it clicked. Autodesk is showing us how the heavy lifting, whether it's floor plans, CAD sketches, or interpreting documentation, can finally shift from us to AI."
The conference atmosphere favored calm professionalism over spectacle, with polite audiences and restrained applause. Autodesk's leadership delivered a measured keynote that balanced demonstrative 'wow' moments with practical demonstrations. The stated theme centered on "make more with less"—reducing time and resource use while improving outcomes. Demos showcased AI models, streamlined animation workflows, and tools that democratize product design. Autodesk positioned AI to take over repetitive tasks like floor plans, CAD sketches, and document interpretation, shifting heavy lifting from users to software. Forma, a new architecture cloud, generated façades, adjusted layouts, and analyzed daylight to accelerate architectural workflows.
