As the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry embraces , big data is becoming essential for delivering smarter, faster, and more resilient aviation projects—and shaping the smart cities they connect. But the real power of data lies beyond collection. It’s about how we govern it, share it, and ensure equitable access across disciplines. This inclusive session will bring together aviation design professionals, BIM leaders, and data strategists to explore how big data is driving meaningful change. Grounded in real-world applications, the panel will examine how big data is being integrated into aviation design and construction workflows, why strong data governance builds trust and enables better decisions, and how collaboration makes data usable across diverse teams. The discussion will also highlight the risks of poor data practices and offer strategies to avoid them. Finally, the session will share forward-looking insights into how inclusive and transparent data ecosystems can reshape the industry.

The Denver International Airport (DEN) is widely recognized for its leadership in BIM. As part of a recent modernization initiative, DEN took a major leap forward by extending that BIM vision into geographic information system (GIS) technology—transforming how spaces inside the airport are mapped, managed, and maintained. In this session, you’ll learn how digital facilities and infrastructure (DFI) and GIS collaborated to build an 18-million-square-foot ArcGIS Indoors database spanning the entire campus using detailed Revit models. More than 7,000 rooms in this space management Digital Workplace are now spatially enabled and linked to identifiers used in asset and facilities systems. We’ll share key milestones from our 10-year  and cover how recent breakthroughs connected Revit and ArcGIS workflows. From exporting BIM to ArcGIS Indoors to now strategizing about how to push data back to Revit, DEN is building a truly bidirectional BIM-GIS environment—bringing spatial intelligence to new disciplines and teams across the airport.
