From Design to Digital Twin: Building Indoor GIS with CAD and BIM Data

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.

Steps Toward the flow in the Infrastructure Industry with ACC: Owner-Led Data Sharing and Management Reform
NEXCO CENTRAL is a road management company constructing and managing highways in the central Japan area (total length: 2,183 km). Impeding challenges—aging highways and labor shortages in the construction industry—make the improvement on productivity at construction sites a high priority. In an attempt to tackle down the challenges, we started considering using BIM from 2017 to shift from analog data-centered to digitized-data-centered construction management. In 2020, we’d established standards necessary for BIM use and set a policy to embrace intelligent models in design and construction phases, ICT construction, and a common data environment (CDE). Based on this policy, BIM was finally applied to the design and construction phase from July 2025. In addition, we adopted Autodesk Construction Cloud to realize a CDE to streamline the legacy means of communication between multiple project stakeholders. In this session, you will gain insights and tips on how to realize an owner-led CDE.

Automation, Integration, & Customization or AI: A Discussion on the Boundary Between AI and Traditional Automation, Integration, & Customization
"Can we AI this?" is a statement that’s being thrown around a lot of late. This may bring to mind something else: "They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.” Frequently, the solution being sought can be achieved through more-traditional Automation, Integration, & Customization. So, this leads to the question: When is it better to automate and when is it appropriate to seek AI solutions? A panel of industry experts will discuss their thoughts on the benefits of AI solutions versus those of more-traditional Automation, Integration, & Customization for your BIM and design workflows. When is each appropriate? And what is the best way to spend your limited development hours.

Digital Project Delivery: The Keystone to a Sustainable Built Environment
Sustainable Design is a pipe dream if you cannot accurately predict, model, and monitor your building’s content and energy usage. Without digital project delivery focused on the specific needs of the building end use—not the needs of national or international standards—we cannot even begin to accurately and predictably lower the energy used by and embodied within our built assets. By using products such as Autodesk Construction Cloud alongside traditional delivery tools such as Revit and Civil 3D software, the Buro Happold Information Management team are driving Sustainable Design without uttering the word. By breaking BIM down into its constituent parts, we’re able to work with our clients to create a project data standard that takes the guesswork out of designing, building, and operating a building—and feeds the future by ensuring that we have a stock of buildings that can tell us how good our decisions were and if they’re operating as we hoped they would.

Bridging the Gap: Unlocking Structural BIM Adoption in Europe’s Building Sector with Revit
While BIM is firmly embedded in architectural and structural documentation workflows across Europe, structural engineering remains notably behind—particularly in mature markets like the United Kingdom and DACH region. Despite Europe’s €1+ trillion annual construction output, adoption of BIM-based structural analysis workflows is hindered by fragmented toolsets, niche technical demands, and resistance to change. This presents both a risk and a high-potential market opportunity. In this session, Stefan Maly—Autodesk ISV/PSR and strategic development partner in structural engineering—will examine the drivers behind this digital gap. And he’ll outline how Revit software can act as a key enabler in unlocking a more decentralized, scalable, and data-centered BIM future in the European construction software space.
