Autodesk University Extension at Ideate

From Las Vegas to Your Home Town: Autodesk University Extension

Autodesk University (AU) is the world’s largest learning and networking event for Autodesk product users. Each year, thousands of working professionals and industry experts meet at the annual conference in Las Vegas to learn new skills and make valuable business connections. But not everyone can travel to Las Vegas. So this year, Autodesk is extending the benefits of AU by sharing classes and content from the event with Authorized Training Centers (ATC®). The result is a new worldwide initiative called Autodesk University Extension – and Ideate is participating.

NEW: Autodesk University Extension
Autodesk University Extension is a one-day event at Ideate that combines expert-led class content from AU 2009 with face-to-face interaction with local instructors and other users. It’s a great new way to upgrade your skills and connect with peers and experts – without the cost of traveling to Las Vegas.
