Meet us at Autodesk University
Sep 27 - Sep 29, 2022 / New Orleans, USA
Welcome to visit us at booths 114 & 120
Smarter workflows and more efficient project management
We at Microdesk and Symetri are proud and excited to take part in this year's Autodesk University event as Gold Partners. We’re so pleased to be able to finally meet with you all in person again and listen to your challenges, success stories and concerns.
We’ll be in booths 114 and 120 showcasing our own technology specifically designed to bring your Autodesk investments to the next level. You’ll have the opportunity to meet our product managers, owners and technical experts for in-depth discussions and demos. There'll also be some activities happening, so make sure you don't miss out on them!
We’ll also be hosting a number of sessions, varying from product demos to panels and industry discussions, which you can find out more about and register for below.
For those of you that won’t be able to meet us live at the event in New Orleans, you’ll instead be able to watch the sessions & meet us virtually in the Metaverse.
Let AU 2022 begin!

Microdesk Co-Innovation Lab collaborated with BamCore through the Autodesk Foundation to show the value and benefits of their products to industry clients. Using the Autodesk-provided design analysis ecosystem, we showcase the energy and carbon advantages that BamCore’s products can bring to the design. The developed custom workflow allows BamCore to rapidly obtain comparative energy and carbon impacts and present them to their clients without future support. We’ve also set up the groundwork and created a phased journey to navigate the Future of Work, aiming to include an interactive user interface dashboard for rapid ROI analysis. We compare BamCore technology versus typical constructions to ensure Microdesk and BamCore co-create meaningful and inspirational future impacts toward resilient and low-carbon buildings.

Follow the journey of five different architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals as they navigated their careers in building information modeling (BIM). See the challenges they faced, and the impacts they've made. Learn how they developed their skills to transition from typical AEC professionals into the tech side of BIM. This discussion will show how a diverse strategy can improve corporate culture, business success, and, ultimately, the bottom line. Topics of discussion will include mentorship, burnout, diversity, equality, parenthood, work-life balance, and inclusion.

What Does Sustainability Mean for Manufacturers?
- Shivani Soni, Strategy & Innovation Lead Symetri

Achieving long-term economic viability requires sustainable manufacturing. Globally, rising costs of materials, energy, and compliance—as well as consumer, investor, and community demands—are exerting pressure on firms. Our experiences suggest that environmental improvements are linked to increased profitability and competitiveness. Nevertheless, many small and medium-sized businesses (which account for nearly all businesses) have yet to take advantage of these opportunities. Let's pinpoint the issue. Client pressure, a lack of knowledge and resources, or simply not knowing where to start are all issues. This workshop will bring together manufacturing industry thought leaders to help them discover more-sustainable processes and apply early, predictive, and real-time analysis. We'll also discuss roadblocks to effective stakeholder collaboration and communication. When you return to work, you’ll be armed with the raw data collected during this session.

You have to believe it before you see it: Growing a startup digitally

he buzz around artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and digital twins in manufacturing can be overwhelming. In reality, these technologies can add real value to your firm. Even though 73% of manufacturers believe digital technologies will increase ROI, more than half have yet to implement them. The Autodesk Foundation and Microdesk Co-Innovation Lab partnered with Pallet Shelter, a rapidly growing startup with a mission to combat homelessness, expand workforce development, and promote sustainable communities. Through this collaboration, Pallet Shelter is strengthening channels of communication and means of storing and sharing data by implementing solutions from the Autodesk ecosystem. With centrally accessible documentation and built-in business procedures, unifying the firm on a common data environment (CDE) gives key stakeholders insight into the design process. This infrastructure supports the company's rapid and long-term expansion.
