Day Two

• Identifying platforms used to automate design to construction workflows and enhance collaboration between partners
• Sharing and unpacking common pain points, such as siloed data and standardization, when integrating automation across the project lifecycle to proactively address them in your own projects
• Exploring methods of implementation that align automation with existing workflows to ensure low-friction adoption across teams

• Organizing firmwide strategic technology goals into actionable milestones to improve alignment across services
• Identifying friction in processes and creating custom solutions to meet workflow needs
• Creating repeatable processes, identifying champions, measuring current adoptions and understanding how to identify future investment

A prime chance to make the most of in-person networking, and forge new connections as new companies enter and existing ones broaden their presence within the AEC design space. Designed to maximize your introduction to numerous new individuals and serve as a catalyst for ongoing discussions during the summit.

• Understanding the varying uses of automation internally to identify the potential use cases that could also benefit your department
• Harnessing lessons learned from experiences of deploying automation across their own operational workflows to identify areas of synergy versus misalignment
• Establishing shared automation protocols and standards to streamline collaboration

• Isolating components of your tech stack for quick and more agile transition versus those which require long-term planning and change management
• Mapping interdependencies across your tech stack to identify critical integration points and avoid bottlenecks during transitions and scaling efforts
• Identifying strategies to future-proof your tech ecosystem, ensuring scalability and adaptability as design operations evolve across diverse project types

• Building modular, scalable code to support reusable configurators and asset factories within a microservice-based platform
• Structuring workflows to deliver incremental value while progressing from prototype to production
• Translating domain expertise into computational logic using AI-assisted coding and targeted collaboration with subject matter experts

• Bridging data strategy with software development to accelerate design workflows
• Creating integrated systems across disciplines and project stages in order to address complex, fragmented processes and data silos
• Building custom software solutions that help close gaps left by off-the-shelf tools, minimizing software limitations, and enabling seamless collaboration
• Driving continuous innovation by developing adaptable tools that evolve with project needs and emerging technologies

• Identifying the opportunities for AI and innovation to make existing computational tools more intuitive and accessible across different skill levels
• Understanding the implementation process to enhance tool accessibility for maximized usage
• Measuring the impact of enhanced accessibility on user engagement and overall productivity

• Unpacking methods for training LLMs to interpret and prioritize design guidelines so AI can reason over competing constraints and deliver geometry and space programs aligned with designer intent
• Exploring integrated workflows between LLMs, Rhino (VBScript), Dynamo + Revit, and Veras to automate roof, façade, and form generation while maintaining design fidelity
• Highlighting practical examples of agentic AI driving design execution beyond ideation, including step-by-step orchestration across tools

In these breakouts, we will explore perspectives and predictions of the impact of automation, focusing on industry shifts and changing responsibilities to create a central bank of knowledge for your firm to inform their organizational and technical roadmap.
