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.

In this session, we share how Heijmans and Autodesk moved MCPs from innovation pilots to real business value in the construction industry. After 1.5 years of working with Autodesk Model Context Protocol (MCP), Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), and custom MCP clients, we focus on what it takes to scale MCPs in daily workflows. Attendees will learn how we combined custom-built and off‑the‑shelf MCP servers to reduce administrative tasks, connect data across systems, and support engineers and site teams with a personal assistant (JARVIS). We'll discuss architectural decisions, key challenges, lessons learned, and show live examples of MCPs delivering measurable value on real projects.

Discover how Autodesk Fusion and Vizcom radically shorten conceptual design cycles for consumer products by pairing the Fusion parametric engineering and lifecycle controls with Vizcom's real-time photoreal visualization and AI-driven variant generation. Learn how rapid ideation, material/finish sweeps, and perceptual testing produce validated visual states that automatically feed CAM snapshots, BOM and version updates, and manufacturability acceptance gates, preserving traceability and minimizing rework. The talk will include demos, concrete integration patterns, and data-contract best practices for the Fusion-Vizcom workflow. We'll also cover a one-click pilot activation that turns validated concepts into prioritized production pilots with measurable POC outcomes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Avalanche Energy operates a high-mix prototype shop where parts must move from design to machining in hours, not days. This session will show how the team uses the Autodesk Fusion Manufacture workspace with CloudNC's CAM Assist to automate toolpath generation and accelerate CAD-to-CAM workflows. See how standardizing tooling, fixturing, and machining strategies enables consistent, repeatable programming across evolving designs. Learn how automation reduces programming time from hours to minutes, allowing programmers to focus on setup planning and process optimization. You'll leave with practical workflows to identify high-impact automation opportunities, structure CAM setups, and scale fast, reliable part production.

AI is changing estimating today, and will continue to evolve workflows in the future. The challenge is knowing which opportunities are worth pursuing. Drawing on 14 months of real-world implementation, this session shares a practical framework for identifying AI use cases with the greatest potential based on three factors: impact, frequency, and visibility. It then tackles what happens after a solution works: driving adoption, creating repeatable processes, establishing ownership, and scaling across the team. Attendees will leave with a framework for prioritizing AI opportunities and a roadmap for turning individual wins into lasting, scalable workflows.

Preconstruction teams often lose time when takeoff, pricing, and estimate updates are managed across disconnected processes. Manual quantity transfers, revision checks, and pricing adjustments can create inefficiencies, rework, and risk. In this hands-on lab, you'll work through a connected Autodesk preconstruction workflow from 2D and 3D takeoff to estimate generation and cost refinement. You'll learn how to capture quantities, apply formulas, push results into Estimate, manage updates, and use libraries, templates, and cost markups to standardize your process. By the end of the class, you'll be able to create a more consistent, scalable process for turning quantities into cost insights with greater speed and confidence.

Turning point clouds into reliable BIM inputs is still a challenge for many architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO) teams. In this lab, you'll execute a complete, field-tested ReCap Pro workflow that transforms scan data into structured, interoperable mesh models ready for enhanced design and collaboration. Guided by subject matter experts, you'll apply automatic classification to generate clean meshes, standardize outputs using Template Manager, map Revit categories, and export IFC models for downstream BIM use. You'll then use these outputs as modeling references in Revit and validate them through coordination workflows in Navisworks and Model Coordination. Walk away with a repeatable, end-to-end scan-to-BIM process that reduces manual remodeling and accelerates coordination across project teams.

In this interactive session, you'll learn how to apply to your organization some frameworks for measuring and building trust. You'll learn strategies for assessing trust across customer and employee experiences, and you'll learn how to identify gaps and prioritize high-impact opportunities. Through guided exercises and real-world scenarios, you'll map trust drivers capability, reliability, transparency, and humanity to key workflows, products, and culture. The session will conclude with a practical action plan to build trust, improve outcomes, and drive measurable business results.

Coordinating Revit curtain wall layouts with configurable manufactured panel units is often manual, slow, and difficult to validate at scale. In this hands-on lab, you will use custom Dynamo nodes backed by the Informed Design API to connect a Revit curtain wall layout to a configurable unitized panel. Starting from a prepared model and scaffolded graph, participants will extract panel dimensions, send geometric data to the Informed Design API, and generate a complete manufacturing data set with shop drawings and parts lists. We'll generate a report highlighting supported, unsupported, and changed panel conditions in Revit. And we'll unpack the API concepts behind the nodes so you can adapt the workflow to your own products.

Every firm is piloting AI. Most pilots stall for the same reason, and it isn't the model. It's the data. Decades of drawings, RFIs, specs, and contracts sit scattered across servers, inboxes, and forgotten project folders. The firms winning with AI in 2026 treat project history as an asset. They make it findable, permissioned, and trusted before pointing AI at it. This talk shows how to fix the data layer first: what to organize, how to govern access, and how to build the foundation that makes AI accurate and safe. You'll leave with fresh insights on how to turn scattered project data into firm knowledge your teams, and your AI, can actually use.

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.

Architects and engineers are often asked to adopt tools that fundamentally change how they work, without having had a voice in how those tools were designed. That disconnect can turn new technology into another process teams have to work around. Before founding Pirros, Peter Johann and Ari Baranian worked as structural engineers and experienced that disconnect firsthand. Using the development of a new QA/QC product as a case study, they will describe how their engineering experience helped them identify problems with traditional QA/QC processes, and how they partnered directly with Pirros clients to design, test, and refine the new product. Attendees will learn how architecture and engineering firms can provide feedback that shapes product decisions and how software teams can involve clients more effectively throughout development. Both sides will leave with practical ways to build stronger working relationships, and create tools that better reflect real project workflows.

Keeping operations running has never been more critical. Maintenance and operations leaders must maximize asset performance, reduce downtime, control costs, and do more with leaner teams - all while keeping production moving. Join leaders from MaintainX, now an Autodesk company, to explore how leading manufacturers are rethinking maintenance as a driver of operational performance and a competitive differentiator. Drawing on insights from thousands of customers, this session will share how data from frontline workers, real-time machine connectivity, and artificial intelligence (AI) help frontline teams improve asset reliability, increase productivity, and make faster, more informed decisions. You'll learn how digital maintenance platforms help teams reduce unplanned downtime, standardize work, and turn operational data into actionable insights. This session will also cover what's next for intelligent maintenance and asset management - and why manufacturers are making this a priority today.

Operational efficiency isn't just about speed it's about consistency, control, and clarity. In this session, we'll explore how the latest updates in Autodesk Forma are helping teams standardize processes, streamline administration, and turn project data into meaningful insights. We'll cover recent enhancements and what's coming next across Project and Hub Admin, Bridge, Templates, Library, Reports, Data Connector, Dashboards, and more. Learn how we're reducing setup time, increasing governance, and unlocking insights across projects and portfolios. If you want to scale smarter and operate with confidence, this session will deliver a clear path forward.

AI is changing how products are imagined, explored, and developed from the earliest stages. In this partner panel, Vizcom, Avnet, and Naya Studio will show how their Autodesk Fusion integrations bring AI and intelligent automation into conceptual design and the early stages of product development. Attendees will learn how Vizcom connects AI-powered concept visualization with Fusion design workflows; how Avnet supports electronics decisions, BOM insight, and early supply-chain awareness; and how Naya Studio connects Fusion models with the briefs, sketches, feedback, and approvals around them while turning Fusion geometry into early cost and sustainability insight. Together, these partners help product design teams turn early ideas into informed concepts and make smarter decisions before downstream development begins.

In this session, attendees will get a look at how Generative Design in Fusion 360 software can help them improve the way they design and make engineering decisions. We will review the development progress we made throughout the year, and highlight why those features were key to improving how users capitalized on Generative Design. We will also look ahead to how we will be investing in improving our workflows, as well as growing our physics support to expand the types of problems that can easily be solved with Generative Design in Fusion 360. Lastly, we will show a sample of some of the successful customer projects that have been executed throughout the year.
