Donnie Gladfelter Wins Best of Autodesk University 2020 Speaker Award

Autodesk University 2020 was unlike any other Autodesk University event before it. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, what usually is an in-person conference for 10,000 professionals became a worldwide online event for over 100,000 professionals!

Last week, Autodesk announced the Best of Autodesk University 2020 Speaker Awards. To my delight, my “ AutoCAD Tips, Tricks, and Dazzling Drafting Techniques “ session was named the Top On-Demand Video Session in the Americas.

Although practically everything about the conference was different this year, the Autodesk University team made a point of keeping the event’s cornerstone of learning intact. For more than two-decades, Autodesk University has been the place to go for some of the highest caliber presentations on design technology.

Preparing for Autodesk University 2020

Since 2007, I’ve had the privilege of both attending and being among the conference’s speakers. Though there was no in-person event to travel to, I was excited to receive an invitation to present at the conference for a fourteenth consecutive year.

Among the more than 750 classes presented at Autodesk University was my class “ AutoCAD Tips, Tricks, and Dazzling Drafting Techniques.”
