Introduction
This year, like last year, I couldn’t attend Autodesk University. There were several reasons, but the primary one was the cost. As an Expert Elite member, I receive a complimentary one-night hotel stay, but the high price of airfare made the trip impractical. Instead, I decided to invest in books and online courses to further my skills.
Although I couldn't attend in person, I had the opportunity to try as an analyst data for Autodesk University Class 2024. Each year, Autodesk releases the AU class materials online, including slides, videos, and transcripts. While there’s no API available to retrieve this data, I applied my skills to collect and analyze it manually to share insights with the community. Due to the limitations of data crawling, I’ll only share my analysis here without the code.
So, let’s dive in and see what’s new in Autodesk University Class 2024. I’m excited to break down the most notable developments and share what I’ve found!
How Many Speakers are at AU Class 2024?
From my analysis, I found that the number of speakers at Autodesk University (AU) Class 2024 has increased significantly. After counting across all classes, the total number of speakers I found is 1,075! That’s a substantial turnout, showcasing the depth of expertise and topics covered this year. 🥶
Breakdown of Speaker Participation by Class
Here’s a table showing the number of speakers by the classes they’re participating in:
- Only one speaker is covering 6 classes.
- Another speaker is leading 5 classes.
