About the Event

Who is this event designed for?

AEC INNOVATE brings together architecture, engineering, and construction firm executives, principals innovation directors, and technology leaders along with AEC technology solution providers who want to drive long-term growth through technology innovation. If you’re responsible for strategy, operations, or performance, this event is built for you.

AEC INNOVATE goes beyond AI and innovation theory, scare tactics, or open-ended predictions on what “might” happen in the future. Sessions are practical, data-driven, and immediately actionable, led by industry experts who understand the realities of the AEC business model. You leave with ideas, tools, and frameworks you can apply the moment you’re back at the office.

We’ve built this event to give you BOTH practical case studies and strategic insight on AEC technology and innovation AND a chance to get a first-hand look at some of the most popular and impactful technology solutions available for AEC firm leaders right now. This is a unique opportunity to get the strategies, tactics, and tools for maximum ROI…all in one impactful event.

Speakers include top AEC executives, industry thought leaders, consultants, and innovators who work directly with firms like yours. They bring firsthand experience, not generic advice.

Networking is intentional and built into the experience, from structured sessions to receptions and informal conversations. You connect with like-minded AEC leaders who are facing similar challenges and opportunities.

Registration & Tickets

Is there anything specific that I should do in advance to get the most value out of my AEC INNOVATE experience?

One of the strongest themes in last year’s feedback was just how much high-value content was happening throughout the event. With multiple impactful breakout sessions running at the same time, attendees loved the depth and variety of topics and often wished they could be in more than one room at once to soak it all in.

The easiest way to make the most of that experience is to attend with a colleague or as a team. By dividing up the agenda, you can cover more sessions, compare notes, and bring back a richer set of strategies, insights, and actionable ideas to your firm.

As a bonus, group savings make it even easier to bring your key team members. Your first registration is at full price, and each additional registrant saves $500 when you register together in one transaction, turning collaboration into both a strategic and cost-effective win.

Your registration includes:

  • Access to all conference sessions (additional fee applies for pre-conference session)
  • Breakfasts, lunches, breaks, and networking receptions
  • Conference materials and resources
  • Meaningful peer-to-peer networking with industry leaders

It’s a high-value, all-inclusive experience.

Simply go to the “Register” page, fill in your information, choose your ticket type, and submit the form. A confirmation email will be sent to your inbox.
