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.

Hear from top AEC firms, including Jacobs, Stantec, HDR, SLB, Tetra Tech, SSOE, and STV, as they share how they’re closing the digital skills gap using Autodesk’s 3-step framework from the 2025 Design & Make Report. Learn how AI-powered training, skills gap assessments, and embedded workflows drive tech adoption at scale. Discover the ROI: improved performance, reduced rework, stronger retention, and a competitive edge to win more bids. See how firms are leveraging AI in training to learn faster, retain more, and save time. Explore how custom learning paths and custom workflow training elevate information into knowledge management by curating and pinpointing the exact combination of external training materials with internal workflows—so teams get just enough, just in time, and just for me learning that’s applied to real-world projects.

This meetup aims to bring together educators and industrial professionals who use Autodesk tools to foster connections, share successful teaching strategies, and exchange valuable educational assets. The event will include informal discussions, idea-sharing sessions, and opportunities to collaborate on enhancing classroom experiences for the next generation of designers and makers.

Did you know that 98% of construction leaders plan to increase their investment in workforce planning over the next year? Workforce planning has become a go-to discipline for general contractors looking to increase efficiency and counter familiar workforce challenges. But not every workforce planning strategy is created equal. In this session, Brad Buckles, VP of Technology and Innovation at CPPI, has agreed to share the real-world approach he’s used to build a highly effective workforce planning strategy. Joining him is Dave Pimiskern, VP of Strategy and Operations at Bridgit, who’ll help connect the dots between Brad’s best practices and innovative new technology that makes them possible - and easy. This session will include recommendations for effective workforce planning meetings, the value of team-based planning, which skills you should be tracking among your team members, and more.

Stephen Hooper opens the Digital Prototyping Summit to share how Autodesk is shaping the factory of the future through Digital Prototypings, AI-driven simulation, and open data models.

Then, Stephen invites representatives from Motherson SAS on stage to share their organizational strategy for Management in the factory. CEO Frederic Boumaza and CIO Praveen Chinta will discuss their approach to planning, deploying, and maintaining a Digital Prototyping, and how they included business stakeholders and technology in the decision-making process. Using Autodesk Platform Services (APS), Inventor, and FlexSim, they have implemented solutions for building optimization, production optimization, and real-time monitoring, leading to outcomes like increased energy efficiency, reduced downtime, and improved production flexibility.

Web APIs are the backbone of today’s internet and are the most common way we connect to web-hosted platforms. By the end of this session, attendees will be familiar with the concepts and tools needed to interact with a public API, as well as have a basic understanding of how APIs work under the hood. This workshop will cover concepts such as HTTP protocol, Authentication Schemes, and API Specs. We’ll also go through a few hands-on exercises and demonstrations of how to understand and interact with Forge and other APIs, while also learning useful tools like Postman, Curl, and Chrome Dev Tools.

In design and construction projects, we invest heavily in creating intelligent and information-rich design data. However, during the construction phase, this valuable intelligence is often lost when it's converted into printed sheets. Autodesk Forma unified data environment can address the need for seamless data exchange. In this industry talk, learn how Honeywell is adopting digital asset commissioning on web and mobile devices while tracking real-time asset status updates through Power BI. This talk will demonstrate how data-driven workflows can vastly improve operational efficiency while reducing errors and risks. Furthermore, we'll showcase how integrating digital tools can revolutionize the commissioning of projects in large-scale endeavors.
