Have an idea for a web application that brings Autodesk and Microsoft technologies together? What if you could spend four days building it alongside engineers and experts from both companies?
Join us for AI and Autodesk Platform Services developer accelerator
From March 9–12, 2027, Autodesk and Microsoft are bringing a small group of developers together in Silicon Valley for a hands-on Autodesk Platform Services (APS) developer accelerator.
Bringing Autodesk and Microsoft experts into the same room creates an unusual opportunity. Modern applications rarely live inside a single technology ecosystem. A workflow might combine design and engineering data from Autodesk with collaboration, business processes, AI, or enterprise data from Microsoft.
During this accelerator, you'll be able to explore those connections with people who know both sides of technology!
What is the format of the developer accelerator
An Autodesk Platform Services developer accelerator is a free, intensive development event for teams building solutions with Autodesk Platform Services. It runs for 4 days (from Tuesday to Friday) with the last day being a demo day where you get to showcase your applications as well as see what others were able to build.
Think of it as temporarily putting your development project on fast-forward. Rather than working through technical challenges on your own over several weeks or months, you get several dedicated days to focus on your project with Autodesk engineers working alongside you. For this special accelerator, you'll also have access to experts from Microsoft to help with architecture, answer technical questions, troubleshoot roadblocks, explore APIs and services, and help turn your idea into a working solution.
This isn't a conference where you'll spend most of your time watching presentations. And it isn't quite a traditional hackathon either. Instead, you'll bring a real project or business challenge you want to work on and spend four focused days building it.
Space is intentionally limited, so apply to join us in Silicon Valley today.
