Designing Smarter: AI’s Impact on the Early Stages of Building | October 9, 2025
Panel Discussion
As the first step in any project, planning and design set the tone for everything that follows. This panel will explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping these early stages—from site analysis and feasibility studies to conceptual modeling and generative design. Panelists will discuss how AI-powered tools are being used to streamline decision-making, enhance collaboration across disciplines, and optimize designs before ground is ever broken. Framing the conversation at the front end of the construction lifecycle, this session will examine the opportunities and limitations of AI in helping teams design smarter, faster, and with greater precision from the start.

Leveraging AI for Smarter, Sustainable Solutions in Infrastructure | October 9, 2025
Panel Discussion
In today’s rapidly evolving world, infrastructure projects must meet both the demands of sustainability and the complexities of modern urbanization. This panel will explore how artificial intelligence is enhancing infrastructure development, from design to execution and ultimately to the closing stages of a project lifecycle. Panelists will discuss how AI tools are being used to optimize energy efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and improve long-term sustainability in infrastructure projects. They will also address how AI is transforming the final stages of the project lifecycle, including maintenance, monitoring, and asset management, ensuring that infrastructure continues to deliver value long after completion. Attendees will gain insights into how AI is driving smarter, more sustainable infrastructure solutions, ensuring that projects not only meet current needs but also contribute to the future resilience of cities and communities.

Design, Make, Assemble: AI’s Role in DFMA, Offsite, and Manufacturing | October 9, 2025
Lightning Round
The construction industry is increasingly turning to Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA), offsite construction, and advanced manufacturing techniques to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance quality. In this panel, we’ll explore how artificial intelligence is supporting these transformative approaches, from the design phase to on-site assembly. Panelists will discuss how AI is optimizing workflows, streamlining the design-to-production process, and enabling smarter decision-making in offsite and modular construction. Through real-world examples, we’ll explore the challenges and successes of integrating AI in manufacturing and assembly processes, and how it can help unlock the full potential of DFMA in today’s construction projects.
Speakers:
Eva Magnisali, Founder & CEO, Dataform Lab
Emanuel Heisenberg, CEO, ecoworks
AI Evolution in Project Software | October 9, 2025
Panel Discussion
As AI continues to evolve, its integration into project management processes is gradually reshaping the way projects are planned, monitored, and delivered. This panel will focus on how AI tools are being used to improve project efficiency, from automating routine tasks and optimizing scheduling to enhancing risk management and data-driven decision-making. Panelists will share their experiences with adopting AI in real-world project environments, discussing both the challenges and benefits. Attendees will gain practical insights into how AI can complement project management practices, reduce operational inefficiencies, and drive better outcomes, without the need for radical overhauls of existing workflows.

Lunch | October 9, 2025
Afternoon Fireside Chat | October 9, 2025
Fireside Chat
AI is rewriting the rules for how companies operate, and those who figure it out first will run ahead of the pack. But here’s the truth: the real secret to making AI work isn’t the tech—it’s the process.
In this fireside chat, Bassem Hamdy, CEO and Co-Founder of Briq, will cut through the noise and show why companies that succeed with AI have mastered their playbooks. Bassem will discuss why successful AI adoption starts with strong business processes, how leaders can create a playbook for improvement, and why the most effective strategy is to start small and scale fast. He’ll highlight the differences between implementing AI and traditional SaaS applications, and share practical steps for measuring success so that organizations know what’s working and what isn’t.
