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.

Exceptional construction starts with clarity—clear communication, fewer points of contact, and a streamlined, client-centered experience. Our Operations Driven Design approach builds on that foundation, applying AI and machine learning to performance data captured from satellites, sensors, building systems, and more. From space to site, we translate complex data into actionable insights—informing 3D Digital Prototyping models, AR visualizations, simulations, and environmental trend analysis. This enables smarter planning, climate-resilient strategies, and optimized operations before ground is ever broken. Whether the project is infrastructure, vertical construction, or site development, we bring precision and foresight to every phase. The result? Data-rich design. Predictable performance. A better experience from start to Operations.

This presentation is centered on optimizing the performance of your desktop or laptop workstation for your design workflows. The concepts covered are relevant to AEC, industrial machinery, Revit, Inventor, and even AutoCAD—though some tweaks may be necessary based on the specific software, and I will give those. Given that many of us depend on AutoCAD for sharing designs and generating printouts, mastering these setup strategies can significantly save time, especially when handling large datasets/drawings. By thoughtfully configuring your system and software, we will consider how it interacts with other applications so you can improve overall performance across all your design tools.

As AEC leaders race to digitize the built world, three forces are accelerating how projects are delivered - reality capture, artificial intelligence, and Sustainable Design. This panel brings together technology leaders like Autodesk and Matterport, alongside industry leaders from Colliers Engineering & Design and DPR Construction, to explore how these technologies are converging to drive measurable impact across design, construction, and operations. You’ll hear how Digital Prototypings are being used to automate site documentation, support Sustainable Design goals with accurate asset data, apply AI to flag issues, accelerate decision making, and improve coordination through cloud-based collaboration. Walk away with a clear view of how these companies are helping AEC teams future-proof their workflows and reduce environmental impact with data-driven insights.
