CAD and BIM have long served as the foundational design and construction documentation —but their utility often ends at project handoff. What if it didn’t? Indoor GIS is a floor-aware system of record for visualizing, analyzing, and managing facilities and collection of buildings. This session will demonstrate how to extend the life of CAD and BIM data into an indoor GIS, and empower CAD, BIM and GIS practitioners to build a Digital Workplace for building operations. Learn about the role of CAD and BIM integrations with GIS to fuel these workflows. See how to import design data into ArcGIS Indoors to map assets and manage spaces, enable real-time navigation with ArcGIS IPS, and equip facilities’ staff with mobile tools for asset inspections and maintenance. Whether new to GIS or looking to modernize facility operations workflows, this session provides you with guidance and examples to convert CAD and BIM data into Digital Workplaces that support asset and space management.

If leveling up your project or cost management workflows is a priority (and it totally should be), don’t miss this exciting session with the Autodesk Build Product team. You’ll get a look at the newest features we’ve rolled out and a preview of what’s coming next for project management, cost management, and AI in Autodesk Build. This session will offer a behind-the-scenes look at our product vision, the strategic initiatives driving innovation, and how customer feedback is directly influencing what we build next. From streamlined workflows to smarter cost tracking, we’re building the tools you need to stay ahead. Whether you're a power user or just getting started, you won’t want to miss this session!

What does it take to successfully deliver a mega project with thousands of models, multiple stakeholders and complex coordination needs? Drawing from AtkinsRéalis’ extensive experience in delivering large-scale frameworks, this session offers proven strategies for managing Project Delivery at scale. Learn to develop a robust digital strategy for mega projects, from standardized project environment setup and information exchange frameworks to multidisciplinary coordination workflows. Explore how Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), Autodesk Platform Services (APS), ACC Connect, Data Exchange and the Autodesk Validation Tool (AVT) enable seamless collaboration, streamline design review and synchronize project-wide data for quality assurance, coordination, construction (4D), costing (5D) and carbon analytics (6D). Gain practical insights into managing multi-level collaboration and walk away with actionable strategies for implementing data driven solutions in complex, large-scale projects.

Buildings contribute to more than 40% of global carbon emissions, and one key scalable solution is to reuse and upgrade existing buildings and materials instead of constructing new ones. This session showcases how Autodesk Research is exploring artificial intelligence (AI) for net-zero buildings in the context of existing building projects. The team is exploring two AI-driven prototypes: one is about assessing a building’s existing conditions with limited and multimodal data. This enables AECO professionals to "see inside walls"—similarly to an “x-ray view”—and cataloging hidden materials including their potential for reusability without destructive testing. The second AI-driven prototype involves creating new low-carbon assemblies using repurposed materials. With this workflow users can specify high-level goals like “reuse materials”, “reduce carbon” and “minimize cost” and interactively explore many different options. The presentation highlights potential integration opportunities with relevant Autodesk platform features, demonstrating how designers, contractors, and building owners can make informed decisions that significantly minimize carbon footprint while creating new economic value from existing assets.

We’ve all heard the stats – the Buildings Sector accounts for over 40% of GHG emissions and construction and demolition waste is a growing problem. Join us for an insightful session to hear how a handful of leading companies teamed up to figure out how to improve efficiency, be more transparent and drive innovative strategies to help drive decarbonization of the construction sector.
 
Kicking off at London Climate Action Week just 3-months ago, Autodesk and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development convened dozens of architecture, engineering, and construction companies to initiate a Construction Working Group brainstorm resulting in a just kicked-off project focused on the handover process of carbon data from BIM workflows to construction execution. Inspired by a similar initiative focused on the design phase with A & E companies presented at AU and COP29 last year; the goal of this group is to complement that research, focus on the implementation of decarbonization workflows, glean industry insights, and propose best practices through the lens of Construction.
