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.

The Promise of the Cloud - The Implications of Virtually Infinite Computing for Your Industry
Tuesday, November 29, 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.

You hear about it every day. Everyone is talking about the potential of the cloud, but how real is this new technology? What does the cloud mean relative to team productivity and traditional design processes? If you move your data into the cloud, what are the security, bandwidth, and intellectual property risks? Does cloud computing offer tangible benefits that can better serve your customers and provide you with a competitive advantage?

Get a better understanding of these issues and learn why now is the time to embrace the possibilities of virtually infinite computing power in the cloud to truly transform your business and gain a real competitive advantage.

There are several technology previews on Autodesk Labs that fall into this category.

	123D turn your ideas into reality
	AutoCAD Isometrics WS use isometrics from the cloud with AutoCAD
	Project Falcon see your designs in a wind tunnel
	Project Freewheel view and review using the cloud
	Project Galileo Online infrastructure modeling with the help of the cloud
	Project Mosaic try our new community
	Project QuickShare share your designs instantly
	Project Storm for Revit Structure structural analysis via the cloud
	Project Vasari conceptual design and analysis for buildings

We look forward to seeing you there. The cloud is not dead. Long live the cloud!

Anticipation is alive in the lab.
