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.

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.
