Design, Build, Experience: Immersive Digital Workplaces (REPEAT)

Imagine walking a design site before it’s ever built, with grading, buildings, and utilities unfolding around you in full context. Immersive Digital Workplaces make that possible, turning project models into shared experiences that improve communication and bring teams into alignment before construction begins. In this fast-paced, high-level session, three voices from civil design, immersive technology, and construction will share insights from the field. Rather than a technical deep dive, this session offers a big-picture look at how immersive Digital Workplaces are bridging disciplines, reducing errors, and clarifying complex data throughout the project lifecycle. When stakeholders can visualize a design in its environment, they are empowered to make faster, more confident decisions. Join us to explore how immersive workflows support better outcomes from concept through construction.

Breaking Down Silos in

One of the biggest challenges in is getting disciplines to work together, sharing data and information in real time. Whether technical, organizational, or cultural, silos slow progress, create inefficiencies, and keep teams from reaching their full potential. This panel brings together industry leaders who are actively climbing that mountain. Through candid conversation, they’ll share real-world struggles, setbacks, and the steps they’re taking to reach higher ground. Expect honest insights, bold ideas, and practical strategies to break down barriers, improve communication, and build stronger, more connected teams. If you’re navigating the uphill journey of , this session is your chance to pause, gain perspective, and gather the tools needed to keep moving forward together.

From Design to Digital Twin: Building Indoor GIS with CAD and BIM Data

CAD and BIM have long served as the foundational design and construction documentation —but their utility often ends at project handoff. What if it didn’t? Indoor GIS is a floor-aware system of record for visualizing, analyzing, and managing facilities and collection of buildings. This session will demonstrate how to extend the life of CAD and BIM data into an indoor GIS, and empower CAD, BIM and GIS practitioners to build a Digital Workplace for building operations. Learn about the role of CAD and BIM integrations with GIS to fuel these workflows. See how to import design data into ArcGIS Indoors to map assets and manage spaces, enable real-time navigation with ArcGIS IPS, and equip facilities’ staff with mobile tools for asset inspections and maintenance. Whether new to GIS or looking to modernize facility operations workflows, this session provides you with guidance and examples to convert CAD and BIM data into Digital Workplaces that support asset and space management.

Twinning TISR: A “Hot” Take on Sustainable Environmental Restoration Using Digital Prototypings

Explore deploying a digitalized design and monitoring workflow for a thermal remediation system (TISR®). Using Autodesk Forma, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Revit, and Autodesk Tandem software, the project establishes a seamless lifecycle workflow from early-stage planning and data harmonization to real-time monitoring and maintenance. Forma optimizes solar energy feasibility analysis and site planning, while Autodesk Construction Cloud ensures standardized data exchange across stakeholders. Revit enables detailed 3D parametric modeling. And Tandem integrates telemetry data to monitor system performance. You’ll learn how Digital Prototypings enhance operational performance, reduce the need for on-site visits, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and improve collaboration between stakeholders. Explore the transformative potential of Digital Prototyping platforms for advancing sustainable asset management, conserving resources, and increasing infrastructure resilience in environmental restoration.

Bridging the Knowledge Gap: An Open-Source RAG Approach to Reliable Revit Development

What if anyone could automate Revit software without writing a single line of code? This session introduces an open-source AI agent that turns natural language into executable Revit operations. Built on retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and Model Context Protocol (MCP), it retrieves knowledge from Revit API Docs, generates C# code, and executes it inside Revit in real time. Key highlights include the following: There are no hardcoded rules the large language model (LLM) reasons from real API signatures. There are no preset commands never-seen operations are reasoned and created on the fly. Successful operations solidify into reusable templates non-developers replay them instantly. And there's a live Revit connection via TCP JSON-RPC with Roslyn dynamic compilation. No C# experience or plug-in background is needed. And there's no command library to maintain. Just describe what you want.

Bridge the Gap: Syncing Autodesk Forma, Procore, and HCSS with ProjectReady WorkBridge

Are you tired of manually re-entering data between Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud), Procore, and HCSS? ProjectReady WorkBridge eliminates that burden. In this live product demo, Topcon Solutions and ProjectReady will walk through three real-world workflows: bidirectional sync between Autodesk Forma and Procore for submittals, RFIs, issues, and photos; project data transfers from Procore to Autodesk Forma; and the connecting of HCSS HeavyBid to BuildingConnected for a seamless preconstruction-to-construction handoff. See WorkBridge's scheduling engine, audit logs, and no-data-at-rest architecture in action and leave knowing how to connect your platforms and keep every team aligned.

Hands-on Lab / Las Vegas 2026

Learn How to Use Autodesk Forma Building Design by Recreating a Modernist Classic Design

This hands-on lab will teach a repeatable early-stage design workflow using Autodesk Forma Building Design through a controlled case study of a famous, modernist, residential icon. Using a shared reference model reduces project complexity and allows participants to focus on workflow, not design invention. Participants move from site context and massing to environmental analysis and iteration then to facade and plan design options evaluated on daylight and solar performance, orientation, and layout design. The workflow supports continuity into Revit software, reducing rework and improving coordination.
