We’re living through an inflection point in the history of the built environment, where exponential advances in technology are transforming how we imagine, design, and operate the world around us. Yet, despite the possibilities, the AEC industry still ranks among the slowest in adopting emerging technologies. Why? Because the path forward isn’t always clear.
In her keynote address, Kelly Bacon, vice president, principal and strategy lead for advisory services with AECOM, cut through the noise to deliver a big picture view of where we are, where we’re headed, and how to make confident, strategic choices in a saturated tech landscape. From artificial intelligence and digital twins to proprietary vs. off-the-shelf tech decisions and navigating the often predictable hype cycles, she explored how innovation can be purposeful, not just possible.
Backed by research and grounded in real-world insight, this session was designed to inspire and empower industry leaders to lean into disruption and shape what comes next.
