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.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping AECO, but most solutions remain disconnected from engineering and fabrication workflows where technical decisions are made. Through live demonstrations, this session will show AI embedded within production environments, leveraging engineering standards, deterministic calculation engines, fabrication rules, and BIM data. Explore AI-assisted model management, load generation, detailing, and cross-platform workflows enabled through AI skills and APIs/MCPs, delivering reliable, auditable results while keeping engineers and fabricators in control.

For years, digital twins have been presented as the ultimate goal of digital transformation. But today the conversation has evolved. The real value lies in creating a digital representation of an asset and enabling it to analyze, predict, and support better decisions via artificial intelligence. This session will explore how engineering models, BIM, reality capture, operational data, and AI combine to create intelligent digital ecosystems. We'll examine the evolution from traditional to AI-enabled digital twins. We'll discuss the role of foundation and domain-specific engineering models. And we'll explore how organizations can leverage existing digital assets to unlock new operational insights and automation. This session will provide a practical road map for those seeking to transform engineering and construction data into actionable intelligence. You'll leave with a clear understanding of how AI complements digital twins and how technologies can drive measurable business value throughout the asset lifecycle. 

Let's talk about implementing a comprehensive information management strategy as it relates to BIM, digital twins, and asset data.

Drawing on global case studies from temporary World Cup stadiums to immersive venues like Sphere this talk will demonstrate how standardized components and platform-based approaches enable flexibility, performance, and rapid deployment. It will also examine how digital workflows, BIM, and data-driven design all support convergence between design, manufacturing, and operations. You'll gain practical insight into applying industrialized construction principles without compromising experience or design quality.

How do you turn an intelligent model into a lever for real environmental performance? At the Chabanne office, we developed a suite of custom Revit plug-ins directly connected to live environmental databases (INIES/RE2020). This enabled our teams to query material carbon data, track biosourced ratios, and monitor energy indicators directly inside the model in real time. This outcome-based BIM helped us across different projects especially Thoiry's Kindergarten to reach Passivhaus-level energy needs, exceed the RE2020 2028 carbon threshold, and achieve 1.5 times the Level 3 biosourced label. Through Autodesk Platform Services, plug-ins, Autodesk Forma, Forma Site Design, Forma Building Design, Model Context Protocol (MCP), API, and AI, the intelligent model turned into a decision-making engine for our whole team.

Architects and BIM teams are generating AI images faster than ever. But outputs rarely connect back to real materials, specifications, or fabrication. This session will draw on three MIT Architecture and Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) research projects to show exactly where the design-to-build pipeline breaks down and what fixes it. What we'll cover includes steering AI image generation with element-level references, matching rendered materials back into BIM specifications, and connecting natural language to robotic assembly each finding maps to a workflow that practitioners can act on. You'll leave with research-backed behavioral changes where AI tools genuinely add value in their pipelines and where the gaps need bridging.

The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) will share key lessons learned from its journey toward using BIM, geographic information system (GIS), and asset management for better project delivery and capital planning. Large project and asset owners will learn how Massport turns project, spatial, and asset data into actionable insights for better decision making. This session will highlight how Massport manages more than 200 capital projects across five airport/seaport campuses using BIM-enabled workflows. You'll learn how Autodesk Forma is used as a common data environment to collaborate with design and construction teams, enable on-time digital delivery, and create a virtual campus as a single source of truth supporting Massport's broader digital transformation goals.

Models should not live in silos. They should drive decisions. This session will explore how Autodesk connects BIM and virtual design and construction (VDC) workflows across design and construction, from early concept through handover and beyond. Learn how teams can better coordinate, collaborate, and use models across tools and roles. We'll share what's coming in Autodesk Forma to make models more usable, accessible, and valuable in both the field and the office. Explore the recent and future capabilities for Autodesk Forma Design Collaboration, Autodesk Forma for Model Management, and Navisworks Manage users to better coordinate models and collaborate across teams.

The AEC industry has invested heavily in BIM, cloud collaboration, fabrication technology, and connected project platforms. Yet many teams still face the same challenge: turning all that project data into clear, actionable insight. This session explores how AI can close the gap, connecting existing project data to surface insights faster, identifying risks earlier, tracking progress more effectively, and supporting better decisions across design, fabrication, and field operations. Beyond the technology, attendees will learn what it takes to put AI to work in real construction environments, including implementation, governance, and lessons learned. Participants will leave with a practical framework for improving project visibility, streamlining reporting, and getting more value from the data they already have.

When the United Arab Emirates set its Net Zero 2050 target, the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MOEI) faced a critical challenge: Project data was spread across disconnected systems in seven emirates, creating delays, inconsistency, and poor visibility. This session will share how the MOEI moved to a connected delivery model using Autodesk Forma, scaled ISO 19650-aligned BIM standards nationally, created a single source of truth, and used AI-powered environmental analysis to support better design decisions. We'll also share what failed, how we handled resistance, and the lessons learned. You'll leave with a practical road map you can apply to government and institutional projects immediately.

In this session, we'll share a strategy discussion into ReCap software's new mesh workflow for creating scan-derived meshes that perform reliably in Model Coordination in Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud) and Navisworks software. Using a confidential project case study, you will see how our team processed 1 TB of scan data across 1.2 million square feet and resolved repeated model crashes that disrupted access for virtual design and construction (VDC) engineers and trade partners. By moving from Leica Cyclone 3DR to ReCap-generated meshes, we improved mesh quality, stabilized performance, streamlined scan-to-coordination workflows, and enabled automated clash detection with existing conditions for more-reliable downstream delivery.

A major crisis facing the VDC industry is model bloat. On large scale projects, placing thousands of dynamic, deeply nested native Revit hangers or small components triggers endless CPU parametric calculations that cripple model health, max out workstation RAM, and freeze synchronization times. To break this bottleneck, our product team chose a disruptive approach: pivoting away from standard Revit Families (.rfa) entirely and adopting Revit DirectShape technology. In this session, we will deep dive into the strategic evaluation behind moving the parametric engine outside of Revit to process calculations externally. We will demonstrate how injecting raw geometry directly into the project environment bypasses the family constraint solver, turning slow CPU-bound processing into fluid, GPU-driven visualization. Finally, learn how we map standard Shared Parameters to these elements to retain 100% of required BIM scheduling and tagging data.

The Kentucky Lock Addition Project is a high-priority U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) effort requiring coordination across multiple districts, agencies, and contractors. This session will provide a technical deep dive into how BIM, CAD, and GIS were integrated through an Advanced Modeling Project Execution Plan (PxP) to support design, coordination, and construction. Using tools that include Civil 3D, Revit, Inventor, and Navisworks software, teams developed federated models for clash detection, sequencing, and as-built deliverables. You will see how model-based workflows improved coordination, reduced errors, and supported better decision making across the project lifecycle.

You've set up the common data environment (CDE). You've trained the team. You've delivered the models. So why does the owner still complain? Because owners do not think like consultants. In this candid 30-minute session, the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MOEI) will share what an infrastructure owner actually expects from BIM deliverables, CDE workflows, and digital submissions. You'll hear how we assess consultant performance, what builds trust, and which common mistakes immediately signal weak digital delivery capability. This is not a product demo or a generic case study. It's an owner-side view of what really influences decisions, repeat work, and preferred-partner status on major government projects.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the AEC space. Bringing new capabilities to Autodesk applications such as Revit, AutoCAD, Forma, Construction Cloud, and emerging AI-powered design and productivity tools. Realizing the full value of these innovations requires more than software it demands modern, AI-capable hardware. This session explores how workstation architecture, including high-performance CPUs, professional GPUs, dedicated AI accelerators, and optimized memory and storage configurations, enables faster design iteration, intelligent automation, real-time visualization, and enhanced collaboration. Attendees will learn how AI workloads are changing hardware requirements across BIM, CAD, visualization, simulation, and reality capture workflows, and how to future-proof their technology investments. Join us to discover why AI-ready workstations are becoming an essential foundation for the next generation of Autodesk-powered AEC projects.
