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.

Imagine walking a design site before it’s ever built, with grading, buildings, and utilities unfolding around you in full context. Immersive Digital Twins 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 Twins 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.

One of the biggest challenges in Digital Transformation is getting disciplines to work together, sharing data and information in real time. Whether technical, organizational, or cultural, silos slow progress, create inefficiencies, and keep teams from reaching their full potential. This panel brings together industry leaders who are actively climbing that mountain. Through candid conversation, they’ll share real-world struggles, setbacks, and the steps they’re taking to reach higher ground. Expect honest insights, bold ideas, and practical strategies to break down barriers, improve communication, and build stronger, more connected teams. If you’re navigating the uphill journey of Digital Transformation, this session is your chance to pause, gain perspective, and gather the tools needed to keep moving forward together.

Autodesk’s Secure Service Accounts API offers a robust solution for server-to-server integrations, eliminating the need for traditional work-arounds and enhancing security protocols. This session will guide you through the fundamentals of Secure Service Accounts, demonstrating its capabilities and benefits. Additionally, Mandi Bishop from IMAGINiT Technologies will share real-world insights into how IMAGINiT has used Secure Service Accounts to streamline operations and improve security compliance.

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.

Kimley-Horn has exemplified efficiency in model building by using tools such as Ruby scripts and SQL queries, particularly for larger-scale, system-wide, sanitary sewer models. The Ruby scripts introduced modifications to the inference tool, enabling the adjustment of pipe slopes between two defined points. This innovative feature was developed by partnering with Autodesk to set minimum slopes based on pipe diameter, offering precision and streamlined workflows for complex engineering tasks. By using these customized scripts, Kimley-Horn significantly improved the speed and accuracy of its modeling process. Additionally, SQL queries enhanced the ability to quickly assess pump performance. This involved summarizing results and pinpointing capacity limitations with respect to specific level-of-service parameters. By automating the identification of pump outcomes, the SQL tool helped optimize data analysis and project execution.

The accelerated adoption of AI is transforming the way organizations conceptualize, iterate, and deliver innovative solutions. Join this session to learn how the Dell Pro Max GB10—powered by the NVIDIA Grace Blackwell architecture—enables secure, high-performance local AI development. Explore how you can unlock advanced workflows such as design experimentation, real-time prototyping, and visualization with cutting-edge generative and analytical models—all from the convenience of your desktop. We will focus on the NVIDDIA GB10 for AI at the edge use cases in industry verticals.

Are you interested in learning about how your firm can join over 35,000 other projects in benefitting from the AEC data model (DM), but aren't sure where to start? Are you wondering about how model data is structured in the AEC Data Model and not quite clear how to build queries to find the data you are interested in? Are you looking for any way to get all those non-Revit users to stop asking for information from the model by building slick dashboards and conversational chatbots that will allow them to get the answers themselves?

If so, this class is for you! In this session, Julia Qin from JP Morgan Chase and Mikako Harada from Autodesk, will walk you through how JP Morgan is leveraging the AEC DM API to pull model data into an internal analytics system that democratizes direct access to model data to support better decisions. We'll dive into the AEC Data Model API and its structure to provide you with the foundational knowledge you need to implement powerful applications and workflows using these APIs.
