Panels & Networking: How Can AEC Firms Turn Data & AI Into Better Outcomes

Join us at Suffolk's Boston office for an evening of candid conversation on one of the industry's most pressing questions:
How do AEC firms actually turn data and AI into better project outcomes?

We'll run two back-to-back panels, each 30 minutes, followed by networking drinks.

The first panel, What AI-Native Looks Like in AEC: The Vendors Reshaping AEC's Technology Stack, brings together the technologists and solution builders, vendors working at the intersection of AI, data infrastructure, and AEC, to share what they're building, why, and where they see the biggest opportunities ahead.

The second panel, Making It Work: How Leading AECO Firms Are Navigating Data and AI in Practice, shifts to the practitioners: leaders from across the industry who are talking openly about what's working, what's still falling short, and what they've learned as they try to make data-driven delivery real on actual projects.
