If 2023 was the year of AI curiosity, 2024 is the year of deep AI adoption across a range of design and make industries – from architecture, engineering, and construction to design and manufacturing, to media and entertainment.
This evening features two distinct events that will examine the intersection of technology and creativity, explore the future of work in an AI-powered world, and discuss how we’ll prepare the workforce to upskill and thrive.
You’re invited to join for both conversations from 4-8pm ET.
Beyond Boundaries: Harnessing Technology to Design and Make a Better World, with James Cameron and Andrew Anagnost
*This is a branded event presented by Autodesk
The future of the world around us -- from the cars we drive, the infrastructure we depend on, and the devices we use, to the cities we live in and the films and games that inspire us all -- will reflect the vision of those who are building it today, and the technology they’re using to make it.
Join James Cameron – renowned filmmaker, visionary, and world-builder – and Andrew Anagnost – CEO of Autodesk – for a powerful conversation about how we can leverage technology and creativity to design and make a better world. Together, they will explore how the decisions made today around sustainability, AI, resiliency and digital transformation will help shape a prosperous future.

4:00pm - 5:00pm ET | Conversation with James Cameron, Oscar-winning filmmaker and Andrew Anagnost, CEO Autodesk
Experts agree that artificial intelligence will fundamentally change both how we work and the type of work we do, as it has the potential to raise productivity and incomes, encourage creativity, and mitigate burnout. Companies and employees across the design and make industries — from engineering and architecture to game design and manufacturing — must understand what’s required to gain the skills necessary to master rapidly changing technology and shape the future.
Axios will host an event discussing the upskilling needed to develop a workforce that is increasingly equipped to work with AI.
The details:
6:15pm - 7:15pm ET | Axios' Ryan Heath and Hope King host 1:1 conversations with Etsy CEO Josh Silverman, President and Co-founder of Greenhouse Jon Stross, & Founder/CEO of Moms First and Founder of Girls Who Code Reshma Saujani.
