Construction trends you should know about

For an industry that’s often characterized as “traditional,” the construction industry is always changing. It can be difficult to keep tabs on the latest developments and emerging trends such as artificial intelligence, digital twins, and industrialized construction. That’s why we’re bringing them to you in AU 2021, where you’ll learn what is happening right now and how to get on board for the future.

No matter what your role in the industry is, it’s always beneficial to keep a pulse on innovative concepts and technologies. Whether you want to secure that next promotion or drive greater ROI for your client on a large-scale project, you’ll receive the insights you need to bring you one step closer to achieving your goals. 

Exciting technology and product news

At AU 2021, you’ll hear exciting news from our general sessions and our keynote with Jim Lynch, SVP & GM of Autodesk Construction Solutions. Put time on your calendar for inspiring thought leadership and insights into how we’re helping empower tomorrow’s leaders of construction—yourself included.
