What is a Forge Accelerator?
A Forge Accelerator is a week-long opportunity for developers to work intensively on a chosen project with help and support directly from Autodesk's Forge team.
Attend an Accelerator to network with industry experts and peers, exchange ideas, and build your proof-of-concept.
Is the Forge Accelerator right for you?
Who should attend: creative developers who want to spend supported time working on Forge projects.
What to expect: advance your Forge application with distraction free, immersive, 1-on-1 support from experts. Most leave with a working proof of concept.
