This year�s AU will replace industry specific keynote presentation with cross-industry Innovation Forums. We believe everyone attending AU could benefit from those topics and we want to make sure everyone attending AU knows what they are � and will attend at least one. If you are attending AU, as an Autodesk Labs community member, I hope you will find this one of interest.
