Throughout history, women have pioneered innovations that have shaped the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, laying the foundation for groundbreaking technologies and radical transformations. We’ll explore the powerful impact of women driving change across the industry, and look ahead to the future of how we design and make. Hear from Autodesk Expert Elites and influential product designers at the forefront of transformative technologies. These women have adopted AI-powered generative design solutions. They’re using Digital Workplace technology to create climate-resilient architecture. And they’re driving the successful integration of cloud-based platforms across large-scale organizations. Whether you're a woman in AEC or an ally, this session will provide actionable insights, inspiring stories, and an opportunity to connect and ask questions with the trailblazers shaping the future of design, construction, and technology.
