World models: Turning data into real-world impact for the built environment16:00 - 16:30
AEC/O players are facing pressure on speed, sustainability and resilience, while productivity has barely improved in decades. World models represent a step-change beyond point solutions and narrow AI, enabling reasoning over complex, real-world context at asset and portfolio scale. Google Cloud and Nemetschek bring together hyperscale AI infrastructure and a deep AEC/O software footprint, making this highly relevant to DCW’s audience and timing. This panel discussion connects frontier research (Genie 3 and world models) with pragmatic use cases, governance considerations and ecosystem implications.

Setting up and delivering projects as systems: How AI and connected data are reshaping infrastructure10:30 - 11:00
Infrastructure projects are no longer collections of isolated assets – they are living systems.
This session challenges traditional project thinking and explores how treating projects as integrated systems unlocks new levels of performance, resilience, and value. As complexity increases across infrastructure ecosystems, success depends on how well we connect data, processes, technologies, and people across the full project lifecycle – from planning and design through delivery, operations, and long-term asset management.
This session explores how AI and connected data platforms are transforming infrastructure delivery by turning fragmentation into coordination and complexity into clarity. It is a practical and strategic call to action for leaders shaping the next generation of infrastructure – showing how thinking in systems, powered by AI and connected data, is essential to delivering projects that are smarter, safer, and built to last.

Built to sell: What drives successful exits in construction tech11:00 - 11:45
Most construction tech start-ups exit through acquisition – but how do those deals actually work in practice? This panel brings together founders and acquirers to unpack how companies are positioned, valued and bought, and what it takes to turn a transaction into a genuinely successful integration.

Structured for scale: Building a digital ecosystem that transforms construction12:00 - 12:30
The construction industry is evolving from traditional project‑centric delivery to connected, data‑centric ecosystems. Reds10 has spent the last several years building a fully integrated digital ecosystem powered by Autodesk technologies, enabling structured information management, automated design workflows, and a seamless connection between design, manufacturing, and site operations.
This session provides a detailed, practical walkthrough of how an Autodesk‑based ecosystem can be designed, deployed, and scaled across a growing portfolio of complex projects. Attendees will see how standardised data, automation, and integrated workflows deliver measurable improvements across productivity, quality, and collaboration.

The reality gap: Why the distance between plan and build is still construction’s biggest problem12:30 - 13:00
Construction is a game of millimetres played on a field of miles. Despite decades of progress, the gap between office and field remains one of the industry’s most persistent and costly problems – eroding trust, inflating budgets, and leaving project managers making critical decisions on data that’s already out of date.
Join us to discover how to bridge this gap. This session introduces the Sandwich Theory of construction management: a new framework for understanding how location acts as the connective tissue that binds every data set – from 2D drawings to 3D point clouds – into a single, irrefutable picture of your project as it truly is.
We’ll explore how putting simple capture tools in the hands of field teams doesn’t just improve documentation; it lays the foundation for agentic AI that reads site reality, closes the loop on schedule and budget, and frees your teams to build with certainty. The gap between plan and build is closable. This session shows you how.
