If you’ve been a part of the MEP and Structural Fabricators Forum in the past, you know what a unique event it is—a place to learn how technology is changing the game for those who detail and fabricate MEP and structural systems.

What started as 1-day preconference to Autodesk University is about to get bigger and better. Beginning this year, fabrication will be even more of a focus at AU. That means we’re giving you 3 days of business and technical classes tailored to your skill level, and even more opportunities to connect with other contractors, subcontractors, designers, engineers, and fabricators from around the country and around the world. This is your chance to learn how your industry is advancing from the people who are leading the charge.

Rest assured that we are committed to preserving what’s unique and exceptional about the Fab Forum. We are expanding this event to create the best experience for you at AU.

What Does This Mean for You?

Our goal is to provide you with the experience that you’ve come to love at the Fab Forum, while also making AU more about you and what you need. If you’re an attendee, this means you’ll have more flexibility in how you plan your learning experience in Vegas, and how you connect to the larger community that gathers there. With a 1-day or 3-day AU pass, you’ll also be able to attend other AU sessions and keynotes and participate in AU networking events.

As for speakers, it means you’ll be better able to mix with other thought leaders at AU, share your industry and product expertise, and have a more seamless collaboration with the AU team.

Stay tuned over the coming weeks for more about how you can maximize your experience during AU.

Preconference Learning Continues

While we are expanding the Fab Forum into AU this year, we’re continuing to offer preconferences for other specialist communities that are leading the way in industry. The Computational BIM Workshops, the Connect & Construct Summit, and Forge DevCon will all help kickstart AU Las Vegas in 2018. And for those interested in the Fab Forum, the Connect & Construct Summit will be of particular interest.

It’s Vegas or bust, people. We’ll see you there.
