Description
This event, Metropolis, is now sold out. Our second Virtual Forge Accelerator, called Cloudville, is scheduled for April 20-24, 2020. Please visit the registration page for Cloudville at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/autodesk-virtual-forge-accelerator-cloudville-april-20-24-2020-registration-100380516828 to submit your proposal (Note: we will not accept proposals for Cloudville from attendees of Metropolis).
With travel restricted in much of the world, we have decided to run a “Virtual Forge Accelerator”. The strength of Autodesk Forge Accelerators has been enabling you to have both immediate help and guidance with your Forge powered projects in “real time”, and to develop personal relationships with Autodesk engineers that you can reach out to in the future should you get “in a pinch”. We plan to deliver both of these – real time expert help dramatically shortening your learning and dev time – and create trusting relationships with Forge experts at Autodesk – as part of the upcoming Virtual Forge Accelerator, called Metropolis.
The Autodesk Forge Accelerator is designed to help creative developers leverage Autodesk Forge Cloud APIs - https://forge.autodesk.com
