[Editors note - Mikako is Forge DevCon AEC Track Lead].
AU/DevCon Las Vegas, the biggest annual event by Autodesk, is less than two weeks away now. Our marketing team is busy pushing for the number of registrations while various product teams are working hard trying to push the new features out by AU. Our team is busy writing samples.
If you haven’t registered for AU/DevCon, here is the link to the registration site: https://autodeskuniversity.smarteventscloud.com/portal/
If you haven’t decided which classes you want to attend, here are a few DevCon classes that I recommend for AEC/BIM developers:
- FDC227337 – New BIM 360 APIs to Empower your Design and Construction Workflows, by Xiaodong Liang, Mikako Harada, and Augusto Goncalves.
Monday, Nov 12, 5:00 PM – 06:00 PM.
This is the class to attend to find out the details of all the new BIM 360 APIs released in the last year and that will be released in the near future.
- FDC226894 – Revit Data on Forge – How Can the Design Automation for Revit API Help Me?, by Sasha Crotty
Monday, Nov 12, 3:45 PM – 04:45 PM.
We expect this to be one of the most popular classes at Forge DevCon - find out how you can automatically update Revit models from your web application.
- FDC226768 – Using a Work Breakdown Structure and BIM 360 for Effective Labor Delivery and Control, by Benny Baltrotsky, and Ed Coffin
Monday, Nov 12, 3:45 PM – 04:45 PM
Forge DevCon isn't just for programmers. We have plenty of classes for business decision makers too. This class is by eSub, who will also be featured in our Keynote session.

Monday, Nov 12, 8:00 AM – 09:00 AM
Monday, Nov 12, 5:00 PM – 06:00 PM (Repeat)
Sign up for the morning session of Shawn's Roadmap class if you can - it will set the scene for the rest of the conference. But if you prefer to attend the Connect & Construct Keynotes instead, then sign up to the evening session for a great recap of what you've seen and heard during the day.
- FDC223831 – Move to Forge and the Cloud With Your Existing .NET Experience, by Augusto Goncalves
Monday, Nov 12, 9:15 AM – 10:15 AM
If you've been writing add-ins for our desktop APIs (Revit!), then you're almost certainly a .NET expert. This class will fast-track converting your skills to the web.
- SDFDC254393 – Robots, skeletons and streamlines: pushing the limits with the Forge viewer, by Kean Walmsley
Monday, Nov 12, 3:45 PM – 04:45 PM
Kean has a great job - he gets to play with cool stuff and write about it in his blog. This class focuses on the work he's been doing to use Forge to display IoT data collected from the world's first 3D printed metal bridge.
- FDC231764 – The Future of Workflow: Forge Workflow Automation, by Shelly Mujtaba and Jim Awe
Monday, Nov 12, 10:45 AM – 11:45 AM
Attend this class for insights into the work the Autodesk Forge team are conducting to create easily customizable workflows between multiple products.
After attending DevCon on Monday, if you want to further discussion, we also have a DevLab on Tuesday, which is a drop-in workshop and short informal lab for software developers. Ask us about anything you like - a general API overview, architectural advice, detailed implementation suggestions, debugging help ...
- FDC228652 – Forge DevLab

I hope to see you in Vegas!
