With computational design and automation now firmly embedded in mainstream practice, the AEC industry has entered a new era of digital transformation. Once the domain of coding specialists, these tools are becoming more intuitive, accessible, and widely adopted; empowering teams to revolutionize efficiencies, transform client interactions, and enhance design creativity.
That’s why our Advancing Computational & Design Automation 2026 forum (January 26-28 | Austin, TX) focuses on addressing the industry’s most pressing challenges when it comes to evolving computational design and automated workflows, so attendees walk away with actionable insights to deliver better, faster, and more cost-effective outcomes.
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.
