Design, Build, Experience: Immersive Digital Workplaces (REPEAT)
Imagine walking a design site before it’s ever built, with grading, buildings, and utilities unfolding around you in full context. Immersive Digital Workplaces make that possible, turning project models into shared experiences that improve communication and bring teams into alignment before construction begins. In this fast-paced, high-level session, three voices from civil design, immersive technology, and construction will share insights from the field. Rather than a technical deep dive, this session offers a big-picture look at how immersive Digital Workplaces are bridging disciplines, reducing errors, and clarifying complex data throughout the project lifecycle. When stakeholders can visualize a design in its environment, they are empowered to make faster, more confident decisions. Join us to explore how immersive workflows support better outcomes from concept through construction.

From Design to Digital Twin: Building Indoor GIS with CAD and BIM Data

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.

Smart Data for Smarter BIM: From Experience to AI-Ready Data
Data is no longer just a byproduct of our projects—it’s their very foundation. In the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, data represents both the memory of our companies and the raw material for future innovation. It transforms experience into insights, enabling us to deliver quality outcomes and pave the way for tomorrow’s AI-driven workflows. How can we make data truly trusted, structured, and seamlessly flowing across teams, tools, and platforms within a robust common data environment (CDE)? To address these challenges, we’ve created an integrated and scalable solution that combines automated auditing, smart visualization, and seamless communication. Our approach ensures consistency, traceability, and quality of BIM data throughout the project lifecycle, and it supports measurable outcomes and benefits to new stakeholders. During the session, we’ll present a real-world project where this solution was successfully deployed and validated. We’ll reveal key performance metrics demonstrating its effectiveness.

CIA in Action! BIM Our Own Central Intelligence Agent!
BIM is no longer a buzzword, but are we using its full potential? BIM still sits comfortably as a sophisticated 3D modeling tool, while it is meant to do more—much more. Are we using it as a catalyst to our workflow or a glorified tool to generate models, coordinate between disciplines, and produce drawings. And then? That’s it. The rich data embedded in those models is often ignored, unlinked, or siloed. It’s time to get serious, understand its impact on project lifecycle, and learn about the ROI it can provide to its stakeholders. Let’s see how BIM can work harder for you, turning it from a cost center into a value generator.

Find Your Why and How with an Outcome Discovery and a Transformation Method
How come more than 70% of all change processes fail? Why is it so important to look not only at the technical side of a change, but especially at the people side of the transformation process? Projects fail—not because of the technology, but because people are not involved and/or do not realize why the change is important and what’s in it for everyone. This class will share simple best practices on how Autodesk works with its customers step by step to develop the important pillars of a change initiative. We'll present simple overviews and concepts-of-discovery workshops, as well as the tried and tested approach for successful change processes. This approach will be reinforced with a BIM for Manufacturing project that supports and confirms the theses of this lecture. Use this short presentation to analyze your upcoming change processes. Give your initiatives the right impetus and learn how your Autodesk team can also help you with these topics!

ACC for Civil Infrastructure Projects: It's What Highly Productive BIM Coordinators and CAD Managers Crave

This interactive lab will be an accelerator that will teach BIM coordinators and CAD managers how to effectively use Autodesk Forma to manage civil infrastructure projects with modern cloud-based tools. We’ll take an immersive approach to learning: The class will be split up into disciplines, simulating a real project. The disciplines will work together to federate a project model using preprepared files. We’ll start with the basics of recommended file organization in Forma Data Management, set up our coordination space in Modeling, walk through best practices for exporting and coordinating discipline-specific models, run a mock clash-detection meeting, create/organize and report on our Autodesk Forma Issues, and then archive our project simulating a milestone submittal. Many of the default coordination tools in Autodesk Forma are built with vertical construction in mind. But there’s a world of value for horizontal construction as well—you just have to know how to unlock it!

Digital Project Delivery: The Keystone to a Sustainable Built Environment
Sustainable Design is a pipe dream if you cannot accurately predict, model, and monitor your building’s content and energy usage. Without digital project delivery focused on the specific needs of the building end use—not the needs of national or international standards—we cannot even begin to accurately and predictably lower the energy used by and embodied within our built assets. By using products such as Autodesk Forma alongside traditional delivery tools such as Revit and Civil 3D software, the Buro Happold Information Management team are driving Sustainable Design without uttering the word. By breaking BIM down into its constituent parts, we’re able to work with our clients to create a project data standard that takes the guesswork out of designing, building, and operating a building—and feeds the future by ensuring that we have a stock of buildings that can tell us how good our decisions were and if they’re operating as we hoped they would.

From Data to Decisions: Driving Project Certainty in Megaprojects with Power BI and Autodesk Forma
Discover how Exyte, a leader in delivering high-tech facilities, manages multidisciplinary megaprojects. In these projects, thousands of details, conflicts, and decisions constantly compete for attention, making it difficult to focus on what really matters. Using a data-driven approach powered by Autodesk Forma and Power BI, we’ve improved project certainty, making it easier to manage complexity effectively. In this session, we’ll share how we shifted from reactive problem-solving to proactive, insight-driven project management. By seamlessly consolidating data from Revit, Navisworks, Autodesk Forma, Work Plans, and other external sources, we've developed powerful dashboards that do more than report. They actively guide decisions, prioritize tasks, and give real-time project insights. With this approach, we can focus on key conflicts, track model health, monitor issues across packages, and give senior management a clear and reliable view of project progress. This isn't just better reporting—it’s a smarter way to build.
