What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for real implementations that demonstrate how AI and APS deliver value across the Autodesk ecosystem, particularly in sustainability, digital transformation, and system integration.
Align with AI Themes
Show how your solution uses AI in Design and Make to:
-
Automate repetitive tasks and improve efficiency.
-
Assist users with intelligent insights and decision-making.
-
Augment human capabilities and enable new ways of working.
Showcase Real-World Applications
Highlight practical implementations such as workflow automation, enterprise integrations, dashboards, digital twins, and solutions connecting Autodesk Fusion, Forma, and Flow with other systems.
Be Specific and Action-Oriented
Clearly explain the challenge, your solution, and the measurable results. Focus on what attendees will learn and how they can apply those insights to their own projects.
Choose the Right Session Format
Select a technical session, business case study, or panel discussion based on your content and audience. Technical sessions should include implementation details, architecture decisions, and lessons learned.
Note: Autodesk-led proposals must include a customer speaker and demonstrate the customer’s real-world implementation and business value.
Tips for Submitting a Strong Proposal
-
Use a clear, compelling title and concise description.
-
Highlight practical examples and measurable outcomes.
-
Focus on technical insights and lessons learned rather than product pitches.
-
Clearly define what attendees will take away from your session.
