You've taken your first steps into automation with iLogic. Now it's time to expand your toolset and make The Force even stronger. This hands‑on classroom session will help you transport into the wider galaxy of API‑powered automation. Instead of diving deep into theory, we'll focus on how to access the Inventor API, understand what's possible, and confidently begin using it alongside iLogic. Using a guided example, you'll learn to connect iLogic to the API, locate key objects, and extend automation across parts, assemblies, and drawings. While it might look like The Dark Side at first, this class will break it into simple concepts and practical examples. By the end, you'll leave with the confidence and foundation to continue your automation voyage.

This session will focus on serial additive manufacturing using Autodesk Fusion software, with practical insights into designing and producing functional parts. We'll cover real-world use of FDM and SLA technologies, including workflows with UltiMaker and Formlabs printers, and working with high-performance, flame-retardant, and rigid materials. Key topics will include defining proper tolerances and clearances, optimizing designs for repeatable production, and preparing parts for testing and certification requirements. Special attention will be given to early-stage design decisions including integration of assembly fixtures and quality control features considering material behavior and process limitations.

In this hands-on lab, you'll experience a connected digital factory workflow by executing it in real time. Starting with a 2D factory layout in AutoCAD using Factory Design Utilities, you'll convert it into a 3D model in Inventor with a single click and bring it into FlexSim for simulation. The lab will also demonstrate how design changes are synchronized across AutoCAD, Inventor, and FlexSim, ensuring a connected workflow and reducing manual rework. You'll gain practical skills to move from layout to simulation in minutes.

Industrialized construction requires coordination across design and manufacturing workflows, but today these processes remain fragmented. This session will explore how AI agents can help connect product and project workflows, enabling earlier decision making and improved constructability. You'll see how validation and specification workflows can be applied today within Autodesk tools, along with a phased view toward configuration, productization, and continuous improvement. A real workflow example will demonstrate how teams can move from disconnected automation to coordinated execution.

The Kentucky Lock Addition Project is a high-priority U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) effort requiring coordination across multiple districts, agencies, and contractors. This session will provide a technical deep dive into how BIM, CAD, and GIS were integrated through an Advanced Modeling Project Execution Plan (PxP) to support design, coordination, and construction. Using tools that include Civil 3D, Revit, Inventor, and Navisworks software, teams developed federated models for clash detection, sequencing, and as-built deliverables. You will see how model-based workflows improved coordination, reduced errors, and supported better decision making across the project lifecycle.

Change a few parameters and watch your Inventor model reconfigure itself! Configuration is the dream! However, applying configurations to some models can be migraine-inducing. Let's start with assemblies built for configuration. In this hands-on lab, you'll experience assemblies prepared for configuration from the beginning. Through guided exercises, you'll explore model-building best practices for configuration with Inventor iLogic. You'll experience driving top-down design changes, adding and removing components, and learning how to incorporate Model States and iLogic. You'll leave with an understanding of model configuration best practices, including checklists and guidance to apply to your own configuration projects.

Curious about how to link your schematics in AutoCAD Electrical software to your models in Inventor software? Get an understanding of the functionality that links these two programs together. This session will cover the key elements you'll need to know to bridge your design between AutoCAD Electrical and Inventor.

Coordinating Revit curtain wall layouts with configurable manufactured panel units is often manual, slow, and difficult to validate at scale. In this hands-on lab, you will use custom Dynamo nodes backed by the Informed Design API to connect a Revit curtain wall layout to a configurable unitized panel. Starting from a prepared model and scaffolded graph, participants will extract panel dimensions, send geometric data to the Informed Design API, and generate a complete manufacturing data set with shop drawings and parts lists. We'll generate a report highlighting supported, unsupported, and changed panel conditions in Revit. And we'll unpack the API concepts behind the nodes so you can adapt the workflow to your own products.

Don't attend this session if you're looking for yet another boring hardware session. This won't be that. Join Lenovo with Intel's global workstation user and segment lead for an engaging, (almost) vendor-agnostic look at how Autodesk workstations are evolving and what it means for your projects and future investments. Is an AI PC good enough for Autodesk software? Are more CPU cores always better? Which upgrades deliver real value and which just add cost? We'll cut through the hype to explore how Autodesk workflows use CPUs and GPUs, and we'll examine how the NPU is used by other software, as well as for AI technologies. Learn how modern SoC architectures are reshaping visualization, simulation, rendering, and AI-enabled workflows. You'll also discover workstation buying trends, future technology directions, cost-saving opportunities, and critical security considerations often overlooked by professionals. Whether you're evaluating AI PCs, planning your next workstation refresh, or future-proofing your Autodesk environment, you'll leave with practical insights and a clear understanding of what matters most in the next generation of workstations.

IQL will show how there are different ways of working/interacting with the built environment and explain the integrated project delivery: client, project manager, and main contractor being 1 team with the same goal approach. We'll explain how we developed a strategy, managed the design, and delivered from concept design to project handover using different digital technologies at different stages. This class will demonstrate how we've created a strategy and EIR for a project that will run for the next 8 years and which will attract future tenants. We’ll show this from a project management point of view: management of the design stakeholders, management of design, BIM for master planning, quantification, the use of BIM for visualisation/VR, and BIM as a product to attract tenants. From a construction management view, we'll demonstrate trade design coordination, supply chain management/education, BIM on-site, 4D sequencing and construction optimisation, and BIM use for tenant engagement.
