Accelerate Computational Adoption & Deliver Better Design Outcomes, Faster

Supercharge More Informed, Cost-Effective Design Decisions, Through Embracing AI & Computation

The construction industry is entering a new era of digital transformation. No longer the domain of coding experts, advanced computational workflows and design automation are becoming more accessible, intuitive and powerful - unlocking creative potential and new levels of efficiency.

That’s why Advancing Computational & Design Automation 2026 is back as the only event bringing together 60+ leading architecture, engineering, and design-build specialists from across North America to discuss:

  • Finding incremental gains with AI
  • Creating an impactful, scalable technology roadmap
  • Reducing skepticism through effective training and cultural alignment
  • Implementing strategic automation processes to free up time for creativity
  • Proving tool ROI and securing buy-in from senior leadership with confidence

In its 9th year, this forum is about community, not competition; this is the perfect opportunity for you to connect with accessible mentors and trusted collaborators so you can benchmark your own strategies and gain exclusive insights that will revolutionize your design workflows and accelerate the delivery of high-performing construction projects.

This January, join leaders from Gensler, LS3P, Perkins&Will, Turner Fleischer, HKS, DIALOG, and more to explore cutting-edge technical case studies, hands-on workshops, and collaborative discussions that will help you integrate new tools into your existing tech stack, unlock creative potential through AI and advanced computational modeling, and scale automation across your firm - this year’s summit is one you can't afford to miss.

Enjoyed the content and connecting with friends I've made from previous years…This is still one of the only events where you can learn about cutting edge AEC technology.
