Twelve Days of CADD Care | Day Twelve: AU Passes, All Wrapped Up!

December 18th, 2024

On the twelfth day of CADD Care, the CADD team gave to me… A recap of all of our AU Passes videos and webinars!

Education is a core value of CADD Microsystems, and one way we live that value is by empowering the DBO community to share knowledge and connect.

Every year, technical talent from across the globe submits presentations for consideration at Autodesk University and other high-profile conferences. Unfortunately, not every submission can be selected - not because the ideas aren't innovative or relevant, it's just a matter of limited presentation slots. Because of this, some very insightful and valuable information doesn't get shared to a wider audience. We changed that last year with the launch of our AU Passes series, and we were pleased to continue again this year.

Here's a summary of our AU Passes presentations - all delivered by your industry peers with expertise to share. We invite you to connect with them as they share knowledge and innovate. And go ahead and submit your ideas to be featured next!
