Two words: submissions deadline. If you’re considering joining our outstanding slate of speakers at Autodesk University 2008, you’ll have to act by April 27, 2008.
Please submit your presentation proposal(s) online, as soon as possible, at the Call for Papers website.
Whenever we stop to analyze why Autodesk University has become so hugely successful, one thing is clear: the excellent presentations from experts are a big, big factor.
The time for us to assemble the AU 2008 faculty, who are without a doubt the most critical component of the overall AU experience, is nearly over. So if you:

A speaker honorarium is also provided.

This year Autodesk is broadcasting a podcast series , called the AU BEAT. The interview-style recordings with instructors, presenters and key AU stakeholders are designed to provide a glimpse into the programs and activities at AU this year. There are already podcasts to help you gear up for AU even before you leave for the event. Check it out at AU BEAT.
