Keynote
The Predictive Planning Frontier: Design, Estimating, and Preconstruction Integration
Panel Discussion
This session will unpack how modern design tools, model-based estimating, dynamic scheduling, and integrated preconstruction platforms are reshaping workflows. We will explore how predictive modeling serves as a central intelligence layer, translating massive datasets into actionable insights that flow seamlessly from initial design through estimating to final preconstruction execution. By leveraging these integrated forecasts, teams can proactively identify risks and coordination challenges, allowing for strategic re-sequencing and resource optimization during preconstruction
Networking Break
Preconstruction - Research Presentation
Navigating From Reactive to Predictive: AI-Powered Risk at Enterprise Scale
Panel Discussion
This panel explores how industry stakeholders are evolving risk frameworks powered by AI and predictive data by moving beyond manual spreadsheets to automated, data-driven workflows. By institutionalizing contract memory and leveraging real-time insights, firms can proactively mitigate enterprise-wide liabilities, protect portfolio margins, and ensure long-term organizational stability in an increasingly volatile market.
Building Buy-In for Realistic and Reliable Project Schedules
Breakout Discussion
This session explores how leading contractors are using modern platforms and integrated data workflows to break down silos, improve schedule reliability, and drive faster, more confident decision-making in both the field and the office. We will examine the lifecycle and complexity of large-scale construction schedules, and how forward-thinking teams are combining technology, process, and governance to build more resilient, decision-ready project plans.
Back to Building: How AI, BIM, and Open Ecosystems Are Redefining Construction
Fieldwire by Hilti Spotlight
In this forward‑looking session, Fieldwire CEO Puneet Raj outlines a bold vision for the next era of construction management, one powered by connected, intelligent technology built for the jobsite. He’ll explore how software integrations, scalable BIM workflows, and AI built for construction teams are converging to create a more predictive, data‑driven construction ecosystem. Attendees will gain insight into how modern construction tech can unlock smarter coordination, faster decision‑making, and a fundamentally better way to build.
Lunch
Project Software - Research Presentation
Analyzing Opportunities within the Modern Jobsite, Supply Chain, and Production Environment to Maximize Growth and Opportunity
Lightning Round
This session will explore the friction between digital simulations and the physical realities of managing materials, equipment, and personnel in real-time. We will analyze how the shift toward offsite prefabrication and the targeted use of robotics are fundamentally redefining the critical path and site supply chain. As established firms mature, capital will be increasingly converged on specialized, tech-enabled solutions that transform these operational shifts from experimental pilots into scalable, high-growth investment opportunities.
Networking Break
Assessing Readinesss for AI/ML Integration
Panel Discussion
The construction industry stands at a critical inflection point where the question isn't whether AI/ML can transform operations, but whether firms have built the organizational and technical infrastructure required to leverage these technologies effectively. This session explores how industry leaders are honestly assessing their current state, establishing data governance frameworks, and building the cross-functional capabilities needed to ensure AI investments deliver measurable value rather than becoming expensive proof-of-concept experiments.
BuiltWorlds' Demo Day Pitch Competition
The signature Demo Day Pitch Competition by BuiltWorlds will showcase a select group of startups to be rated and evaluated by a group of VC and CVC Judges within the Built Environment.

Engineering a Bulletproof GC-Sub Partnership
Fireside Chat
Strong general contractor-subcontractor partnerships built on transparent communication, aligned technology platforms, and shared project goals create multiplier effects that drive better outcomes across schedule, safety, and profitability. This session showcases proven frameworks for fostering true collaboration—from early preconstruction engagement and joint risk management to integrated data sharing—that transform traditional adversarial relationships into strategic alliances where both parties win together.
Transforming Institutional Knowledge into Actionable AI
Breakout Discussion
In this session we will examine moving beyond the AI hype to discuss the practical process of translating complex human thinking into data models that Large Language Models (LLMs) can actually use to solve enterprise-level problems. Attendees will learn how to transition from static data searching to active data interrogation, covering the engineering required to power raw SQL, visual dashboards, and AI agents from a single source of truth.
Networking Break

We will discuss how integrated fleet platforms are moving beyond GPS tracking to provide predictive maintenance and operator-coaching insights that reduce downtime, improve operator health, and mitigate high-risk behaviors on the jobsite.
Dissecting Carbon and Sustainability: Bridging Data Gaps and Building Resilience
Breakout Discussion
This breakout investigates the critical lack of universal standards and material data gaps that currently hinder accurate predictive life-cycle analysis. Facilitators will lead a deep dive into the shifting reporting expectations across jurisdictions and geographies to identify paths toward better industry alignment. By unpacking how various stakeholders leverage sustainability data to determine risk, this session provides a collaborative forum for building more resilient, data-driven construction strategies.
Engineering a Human Centric and Collaborative Robotics Ecosystem
Lightning Round
This session will highlight the value of building a collaborative people-first robotics strategy that reflects direct input from field teams, safety leaders, and innovators. We will focus on assistive robotics for labor-intensive, ergonomically strain full, and high-risk construction activities. Additionally, we will discuss methods for evaluating advanced technologies and the lessons learned about responsible robotic deployments.
Networking Break
Optimizing Project Closeout, Handover & Commissioning in the Digital Age
Lightning Round
Project closeout remains one of construction's most challenging phases, often plagued by delays, incomplete documentation, and fragmented handover processes that can erode project success and client satisfaction. This session explores how industry leaders are leveraging technology platforms, digital twins, and automated commissioning workflows to transform closeout from a painful administrative burden into a strategic competitive advantage.
