    Calling all information managers! An introduction to PAS 1958:2026 – joining the dots of information management
    Calling all information managers! An introduction to PAS 1958:2026 – joining the dots of information management
    10:30 - 11:00

    Over the past two decades, the built environment has produced a growing number of standards, guides and resources aimed at improving information management. While this has driven real progress, the lack of an overarching framework has created fragmentation, with overlaps, gaps and contradictions leaving many organisations struggling to see how the pieces fit together.

    PAS 1958:2026 addresses this challenge head on. It provides a holistic guide that brings together the core concepts from across built environment information management standards, offering a clear “picture on the box”. Its focus is not on compliance or checklists, but on understanding how information behaves, how it flows, and how it delivers value.

    Crucially, PAS 1958 shifts thinking away from a project-centric view towards an organisational one, recognising information as a critical business asset in its own right. This session introduces the key principles of PAS 1958, showing how information management can be embedded into everyday organisational and project processes to support a joined-up, value-driven approach across the whole asset life cycle.

    Structured data, smarter decisions: Enabling agentic AI with ISO 19650 workflows using the medallion architecture
    11:00 - 11:30

    This session will demonstrate how Capgemini’s expertise in digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and innovation at scale supports organisations across the AECOO sector in strengthening their information management capabilities. Through a real‑world case study for the utilities sector, attendees will see how Capgemini introduced the medallion architecture using a CDE platform, which is empowered by utilising agentic AI to improve operational performance and capital project delivery.

    This session will outline common challenges created by fragmented information across an asset’s lifecycle, introduce the medallion architecture and its alignment with existing AECOO data models, and show how Capgemini enhances it using ISO 19650 principles and workflows. It will also highlight how AI agents convert governed information into structured, asset‑centric datasets and how they leverage the final layer of the architecture to generate insights that support operational decision making.

    Finally, the session will explore how future AI agents will augment and collaborate with teams to progressively automate manual ISO 19650 processes, enabling the progression toward autonomous, AI‑enabled CDEs.

    Closing out without burning out – rethinking handover on mega projects
    12:30 - 13:00

    Mega projects generate an overwhelming volume of handover information – but what if there was a smarter way to manage it?

    Join us to explore how we transformed one of the most stressful phases of project delivery into a streamlined, data-driven process. By restructuring our workflows, tagging information intelligently, automating reporting and pull-through via API, and giving clients real-time visibility, we’ve removed the reliance on manual trackers and end-of-project pressure.

    This session reveals how we reimagined digital handover from the ground up, the technology that made it possible, and how capturing the right information earlier can dramatically reduce risk, improve quality, and change the way we deliver close-out forever.

    Knowledge representation… the next steps for information management and the grounding for AI
    Knowledge representation… the next steps for information management and the grounding for AI
    10:30 - 11:00

    As AI adoption accelerates, organisations are racing to make their data ‘AI-ready’ – often without addressing the information foundations that really matter – creating risk through bias to inaccuracy. The only real way to tackle those risks is through better information… which means finally getting serious about knowledge representation. This is the piece we’ve ignored for far too long, and we can’t keep pushing it aside.

    The aim of the presentation is to put knowledge at the centre of the conversation. It’s one of the most critical topics for the future of information management, yet barely anyone talks about it because it’s scary. Concepts like ontologies, taxonomies, semantics and knowledge graphs might sound daunting, but they’re exactly what we need if we want both information management and AI to mature responsibly, providing more accurate and transparent results.

    Reflecting on lessons learned from BIM, the session argues that we cannot afford to repeat the same mistakes with AI. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how information management must evolve, why knowledge representation should sit at the heart of AI strategy, and how this approach helps retain trust and control in an increasingly AI-driven world.

    The MIH is coming – why are policymakers backing it?
    12:00 - 12:30

    You’ve probably heard about The Manufacturers’ Information Hub (The MIH). But why are policymakers so keen to support this initiative? What makes it different?

    A pan-European not-for-profit organisation owned by manufacturers, The MIH is run by manufacturers for the benefit of all users of their product information. The MIH platform will be a single access point for users of product data/information to draw the core interoperable information they need. It will also be a service provider for Digital Product Passports.

    For this lively panel session, we have invited those policymakers and key industry representatives to put their cards on the table and explain to our sector why they advocate for The MIH. You will start to understand what it can offer to construction product information users across Europe, how it will unlock interoperable product information and what EU and UK initiatives it will enable, straight from the horse’s mouth.

    Join this session to learn the policy perspective and then come to our stand to learn how you can get a head start. The MIH is set to not only enable the seamless, automated, flow of verified manufacturers’ product information, but also play a key role in the wider digital transformation of the construction sector.

    What if your BIM model could say no? Automating compliance with data and AI
    What if your BIM model could say no? Automating compliance with data and AI
    12:30 - 13:00

    Compliance remains one of the biggest sources of risk, rework, and late design change in construction largely because it is still treated as a final check rather than a design input. But what if compliance could be embedded directly into the model, using open, interoperable data that works across disciplines and platforms?

    This session explores how OpenBIM principles, structured information models, and AI-enabled rule checking are enabling a shift towards “compliant-by-design” workflows. Drawing on real UK practice, the talk demonstrates how building regulations, fire and life-safety requirements, accessibility, and carbon performance can be tested iteratively within digital design environments rather than retrospectively at gateways or handover.

    Attendees will see practical examples of AI-driven model interrogation, automated rule checking, and performance simulation operating across OpenBIM environments, helping teams identify issues earlier, improve consistency, and strengthen accountability without constraining design quality or creativity. The session also cuts through the hype to address the real challenges facing compliance automation – including data quality, interoperability maturity, and information governance – and why robust OpenBIM-based information management, not proprietary tools alone, is essential for scalable, trustworthy automation.
