Toward the Autonomous Jobsite
AI, Robotics, and other factors are slowly bringing the vision of a more autonomous jobsitte closer to reality.

The State of Open Innovation in the Built World
As industry leaders wrestle with the enormity of disruption in a $13 trillion sector, they are increasingly exploring opportunities to identify and involve new, collaborative partners. In many cases, the result is a proliferation of "Open Innovation" initiatives sponsored by companies around the world seeking combinations of other industry partners, universities, startups and later stage technology companies, and other stakeholders. In this session, tied to our Venture Track, we will examine some of these initiatives and the ingredients that make them successful.
