The event starts 17 November
AU 2020 is all about empowering you to explore the new possible—for yourself, your firm, and your industry. Whether you’re an architect, engineer, BIM manager, executive, or building owner, AU 2020 is the global digital conference that can help you move ahead. We’re excited to offer new ways to learn and explore the technologies and trends shaping the future of building design and engineering. There’s no cost to attend, but registration is required, so register now.
Keynotes
Don’t miss day one on November 17 featuring the architecture, engineering & construction keynote, along with the general session, to hear about industry trends and pioneering projects from across the globe. How can we improve outcomes by keeping processes digital from start to finish? How can we use AI, computational design, and generative design to design and build better? How can we take materials, labor, and methodologies into account earlier in the process?
