I'm starting to get quite excited about Autodesk DevCon 2026 in Amsterdam. Just getting there is going to be an experience: I'm taking the NightJet service - a sleeper train - from Basel to Amsterdam, arriving the morning of the pre-conference day, during which I'll be hanging out at the Dynamo Hackathon.
I've taken night trains in the past - several times in India and once from London to Edinburgh - but this will be my first time taking one in mainland Europe. I do hope I arrive rested. 🙂
Anyway, the Dynamo Hackathon is going to be a really fun event, and free to attend for DevCon attendees! If you need the discount code - to avoid the €100 registration fee - be sure to contact Achintya Bhat or John Pierson from the Dynamo team: you can do so via the Dynamo Forum, LinkedIn or email (just let me know if you're struggling to contact them and I'll put you in touch).
Here are the main themes for this event, lifted directly from the above post:
AI + Dynamo
Dynamo MCP (Alpha)
Autodesk Assistant in Dynamo (Alpha)
Agentic Node (Alpha)
Dynamo on the Cloud
Design Automation
Dynamo + APS (we might have some new WIP APS nodes
)
New Tools & Ecosystem
Workflows across Revit, Civil 3D, Forma, Alias
Data Exchange and interoperability across tools
And some new goodies (stay tuned)
If any of these topics sounds like fun, be sure to sign up!
