The Theater at AU 2018: Big Ideas in 15 Minutes or Less

AU is a place to learn. It’s also a place to get inspired. In the Theater at AU, you can do both.

Provocative and high-impact, Theater sessions are 15 minutes or less, and feature presentations on big ideas and important trends from thought leaders and industry mavericks in a relaxed lounge environment. They’re a way to change the channel while you’re at AU, perhaps broaden your focus, and think differently about what you do.

The talks are clustered in one-hour programs focused on specific topics. Check out a few of the sessions scheduled for the week:

Advances in Generative Design—Learn what’s next for humans collaborating with new AI-driven design tools and how it will reshape the process of making.

Automation, Robotics, and Human-Machine Collaboration—Discover how people are working with new kinds of automation, including robots that learn on the job and develop awareness of the world around them.

Construction Reimagined - Constructability, Data in the Field, and Robotics—See what’s possible as construction adopts new technologies and does more with data during every step of the process, from concepting and design through building and operations.

Design for Impact - Industry Practice for Good—How can we do more with less? Discover what forward-thinking companies and individuals are doing to increase sustainability.

Inspiration Across Industry, from Manufacturing to AEC—When the construction site becomes as efficient as an assembly line and the assembly line becomes as agile as a construction site, new possibilities emerge.
