If you missed Autodesk's AU 2023 conference in Vegas, an industry-leading event, fret not because I'm bringing in a dear colleague and one of the people behind the event's success to talk more about it.

In this week's episode, my co-host Ariel Castillo and I sit down with Allison Scott to give us a rundown of the Autodesk University conference 2023 in Las Vegas last November.

Allison is a "technology translator" and the Director of Customer Experience & Industry Advocacy at Autodesk. She has been a key contributor to Autodesk's leading-edge approach to customer engagement, including a highly-rated global executive council program, a growing online community, and industry impact programs that help bring awareness to industry issues. ​

Today, Allison and the crew dive deep into what transpired during the AU 2023 event, highlighting Autodesk's most significant latest tech releases, the Dublin Airport Authority case study, the future of construction with AI, and what to look forward to for next year.

Let's dive in!
