THE AEC INDUSTRY'S PREMIER AI EVENT
The annual AI/ML Conference explores the growing and increasingly complicated landscape of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies in the AEC/O industry. The event provides context to the evolving role of AI/ML technologies in the space, including details on existing and emerging solutions and use cases across all areas of the construction, building and operation process; strategies for how solutions are being implemented at the project and enterprise levels; and case studies that illustrate how companies are utilizing specific solutions and the lessons learned from their experiences.

Unlocking the AI Vault: Data Readiness, Silos, and Legacy Systems
Panel Discussion
AI models are only as intelligent as the data feeding them, yet most contractors are sitting on decades of fragmented drawings, unstructured daily logs, and isolated ERP databases. Before a firm can deploy enterprise AI or custom agents, it must solve its foundational data problem: transforming messy, legacy project history into structured, AI-ready assets without grinding daily operations to a halt. This session breaks down the practical realities of building an enterprise AEC data strategy. Speakers share real-world roadmaps for breaking down operational silos, connecting cloud software with historical jobsite records, establishing data governance, and preparing legacy enterprise systems to power next-generation predictive AI tools.

The Evolving Role of IT & Security Operations in the AI Era
Panel Discussion
Historically, construction IT and SecOps operated as a back-office utility focused on resolving hardware tickets, maintaining server uptime, and managing basic network firewalls. Today, as general contractors deploy autonomous AI tools, enterprise data platforms, and jobsite IoT networks, SecOps has transformed into a core driver of business strategy and risk management. Modern SecOps leaders do more than protect infrastructure: they govern enterprise data strategy, enable field innovation, enforce AI compliance, and safeguard firm profitability. In this session, industry panelists will explore how to transition SecOps teams into proactive strategic partners.

The Mid-Market AI Roadmap: Structuring Capabilities Without a Mega-IT Budget
Breakout Discussion
Deploying enterprise AI without a mega-IT budget requires sharp organizational execution. Once a contractor decides to adopt AI, the immediate hurdle isn't picking software—it's structuring the team. Should you establish a cross-functional steering committee, assign an internal champion, or make a dedicated AI hire? Designed specifically for regional and mid-sized contractors, this practical workshop evaluates how to prioritize high-impact use cases, fund early initiatives, structure your internal AI leadership, and prevent innovation efforts from becoming siloed away from field operations.

Embodied AI: Translating Algorithmic Intelligence into Physical Jobsite Robotics
Breakout Discussion
Software innovation means nothing if it cannot manipulate the physical world on a dusty jobsite. This session explores the frontier of "Embodied AI"—where machine learning models power physical hardware on active projects. Panelists examine real-world deployments of autonomous layout rovers, computer-vision safety quadrupeds, and robotic material handlers. Discover how field crews are co-existing with physical AI, the true metrics on labor-hour reduction, and how to maintain jobsite safety when machines act autonomously in unstructured physical environments.
Red-Teaming Preconstruction: Stress-Testing Generative AI & Estimating Models
Breakout Discussion
Generative AI tools can produce complete submittal reviews, quantity takeoffs, and cost estimates in seconds. However, because Large Language Models operate on probabilistic logic, a single hallucinated assumption can corrupt an entire bid. In this "Red Team" simulation, executives work in peer groups to audit AI-generated preconstruction deliverables containing embedded, real-world errors—testing rapid audit protocols that catch machine errors before bids are finalized.
The Cognitive Handover: Transforming Static Closeout into Active Asset Intelligence
Panel Discussion
The transition from construction completion to operations remains the largest data leak in the AEC lifecycle, leaving owners with static cloud folders and unindexed paper binders. This panel explores how AI transforms closeout documentation into an active, self-updating digital twin. Industry leaders discuss how multimodal AI automatically ingests, structures, and links thousands of submittals, O&M manuals, and warranties into a natural-language system—allowing operators to query the facility in plain English from Day 1, turning project handover into a long-term competitive advantage.
