Produced by the Professional Practice Committee
Technology Conference

Digital transformation is revolutionizing the AECO industry, offering new ways to develop and construct the built environment. The use of cloud, data, and artificial intelligence is maximizing the creative potential of architects and engineers, by augmenting their ability to rapidly create, analyze, and optimize designs, while also streamlining processes and revealing actionable project insights. However, this rapid advancement of technological trends sometimes creates more questions than answers.

How can we better engage with clients using technology? How can we best manage practices? How can we build better and more efficiently? This conference gathers the AECO community to discuss how technology is reshaping the industry and provides a platform for designers, architects, and built environment professionals to embrace the new possibilities of digital and explore innovative solutions for their clients.

Join this year’s conference to:

  • Explore case studies embracing emerging technologies for winning project outcomes.
  • Broaden your own firm’s capacity by augmenting existing digital design workflows with real-time business intelligence.
  • Gain a deeper understanding of cloud, data, and artificial intelligence implemented in practice with afternoon breakout sessions.
  • Participate in the discussion at customized breakout sessions that will focus on tech trends, future of remote work, and the convergence of technology and practice.
