Be drawn to this very special event

The morning of this not to be missed event will focus on key strategic issues facing Australian industries at a time of global political, economic and environmental change. The design, engineering, and manufacturing industries in Australia are all impacted by these issues and by the response of business and government.

Keynote speakers from Federal and State Governments, Engineers Australia and Autodesk will address topics including innovation, skills training, design productivity, sustainability and competitiveness in the current economic environment.

See how to gain the competitive edge

The Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry stream in the afternoon will showcase how new versions of 2D and 3D Autodesk products and solutions offer greater collaboration, advanced analysis, scheduling and visualisation.

With Building Information Modelling (BIM), structural engineers, architects, MEP engineers, and civil engineers can share more reliable information to better predict a structure's outcome-before it's built. By bridging communication between extended design and construction teams using digital modelling, you can now integrate design, analysis, and construction documentation with far greater ease.

See why AutoCAD® has been a world-leading design and documentation software for over 25 years. Learn how powerful new 2D and 3D capabilities in AutoCAD 2010—and tighter integration with other Autodesk architecture & structural software—provide a more productive, cost-effective solution to your business challenges.

Hear how PDC Consultants have been at the forefront in using BIM for design, analysis, clash detection and scheduling on large complex projects. You will see the benefits and power of how visualization can assist throughout the design, construction and maintenance of a project.

View demonstrations on Autodesk® Revit® Architecture 2010, Autodesk® Revit® Structure 2010, Autodesk® Revit MEP 2010, Navisworks, 3ds Max Design and Ecotect and how they can help you pioneer cutting edge projects and design.
