Autodesk is 37 Years Old Today

In Marin County California, a small group of people got together January 30, 1982 and formed Autodesk.  The design industry hasn’t been the same since.
As founder John Walker stated “the game has changed.”

37 years later, Autodesk is a rare technology company that is still around, innovating, evolving, and helping our customers.
