Explore ways to access, understand, and get more value from your project data
AU 2026 is just around the corner, and we’re excited to share what’s next for connected AEC data. Take a closer look at where our AEC data strategy is headed and how we’re continuing to expand the ways teams can access, understand, and work with their project data. From accelerating workflows to improving confidence in project information and maintaining data integrity across the asset lifecycle, AU is your opportunity to explore what connected data could mean for your team.
Turn connected data into faster, more trusted workflows
Join the AEC Data Roadmap: Forma Data Strategy & Vision session for a look at how emerging approaches to connected AEC data could help you work more efficiently and confidently across the project lifecycle.
Thursday, September 17 | 10:00–11:00 a.m. PDT

You’ll explore ways to:
- Accelerate authoring by making it easier to create, access, connect, automate, and reuse granular data across AEC workflows.
- Build greater trust in project information with clearer structure, consistent requirements, actionable insights, and reliable validation.
- Maintain data integrity across the lifecycle, helping information flow more seamlessly from design through construction and operations.
You’ll also get a look at new capabilities and workflows in action, hear more about the direction of Autodesk’s AEC data strategy, and explore why connected, trusted data is becoming increasingly important for AI in AEC.
Rethink what better project information looks like
Join the live Digital Builder podcast session: From More Data to Better Data: Rethinking Information in AEC for a conversation about one of the industry’s growing challenges. As projects become more complex and generate more information, how do we make sure that information stays accurate, consistent and useful?
Tuesday, September 15 | 6:00-6:30 p.m. PDT
Expo Hall Theater
Explore why more data doesn’t automatically mean better data, how firms and owners are responding to challenges like duplication and inconsistency, and the growing role of data specialists, workflows, and technology in improving information quality. The conversation will also look at why trusted data is becoming even more important as AI and automation create new opportunities across AEC.
Explore connected AEC data at the booth
Want to see these capabilities in action or talk directly with the team?
Visit us at the Data Management booth within the Forma Hub in Autodesk’s AECO area, to catch demos, ask questions, and connect with the people building the future of AEC data.
Featured demos and conversations will include:
- AEC Data Model – Explore Autodesk’s broader approach to making data more accessible, connected, and useful across workflows
- Autodesk Datum – Dig into capabilities that support more governed, connected and structured project information
- Content Catalog – Discover ways to organize, find, and reuse project content more effectively
- Model Analytics – Explore how model data can provide greater visibility into project information and support more informed decisions
Exchange ideas with the community
Join the AECO Data Community Meetup: AEC Data Model Fan Club, for the opportunity to meet others putting AEC data to work.
Wednesday, September 16 | 4:30-5:30 p.m. PDT
