Written by On 8–9 October 2026, Autodesk Learning Partners from across the region will come together in Istanbul, Türkiye, for the Autodesk Learning Partner Summit 2026 — two days dedicated to program updates, industry insights, collaboration, and strengthening connections across the Learning Partner community.
Hosted at the Sheraton Istanbul City Center, this year’s Summit will bring together Autodesk representatives, Learning Partners, instructors, and industry experts to explore the latest developments across Autodesk learning and certification programs.
Two days of insights, updates and collaboration
The Summit agenda covers a wide range of topics relevant to the Learning Partner community, including updates to the Autodesk Learning Partner and Autodesk Certified Instructor programs, credentialing and certification, Autodesk Fundamentals curriculum, and new developments within the ATC Program.
Attendees will also hear directly from John Peros, Director – Autodesk Learning Partner Programs, and Astrid D. Øie, Senior Autodesk Learning Partner Manager, who will share important program updates and upcoming benefits for Autodesk Learning Partners.
Beyond program updates, the two-day agenda creates space for conversations around the changing training and education landscape, opportunities for Learning Partners, and new approaches to engaging learners.
Sharing our experience from student competitions
KnowledgePoint will also be contributing to the Summit agenda with a session focused on engaging students through competitions.
Over the past year, we have worked with students, educators and Learning Partners across multiple regions through initiatives such as our Designathon and Buildathon student challenges. The Summit gives us an opportunity to share what we have learned from delivering these global competitions — from student engagement and training to collaboration with educators and industry partners.
We’re looking forward to exchanging ideas with other Learning Partners and discussing how initiatives like these can support practical learning, skills development and greater student engagement with Autodesk technology.
Connecting with the Learning Partner community
With Learning Partners from over 20 countries attending, the Summit is a valuable opportunity to connect face-to-face with peers from across the Autodesk Learning Partner network, exchange experiences, and explore how we can continue supporting learners and businesses in an evolving industry.
Alongside the main agenda, attendees will have opportunities to take part in discussions, 1-to-1 meetings, and sign up for upcoming Autodesk Certified Instructor (ACI) Workshops.
