AutoDesk – new & exciting stuff happening via this innovative company!
Announcing the 2015 Autodesk Cloud Accelerator
If you have a good and new idea that leverages an AutoDesk web service, and you want some help from AutoDesk to make it happen, the Cloud Accelerator is up your alley. What we love about AutoDesk is that they like to spread the love. They are always supporting innovation, launching opportunities for technology development and looking for good, smart people to nourish. Yeah, AutoDesk!
Autodesk will be hosting a Cloud Accelerator in our San Francisco office for up to 14 creative software developers for two weeks – March 9 to March 20, 2015. During the Accelerator, participants will work intensively on their chosen project with the help, support, and training of the Autodesk Cloud engineering teams. This includes daily classes by industry experts on important aspects of Cloud development – and 1 on 1 help from these experts in real time. At the end of the Accelerator, you will also have the opportunity to present your prototype to senior Autodesk Executives.
To pursue a place in the Accelerator, send us a proposal (in English) of not more than 1000 words explaining why you should be one of participants and graduates in the “first class”. Proposals should be emailed to adn-training-worldwide@autodesk.com no later than January 10, 2015. Successful candidates will be notified on or around January 17, 2015. Keep reading for more information about how to get into this class and how AutoDesk reviews the candidates.
