You’ve heard about AI’s potential—now it’s time to understand how to put it into action! This hands-on workshop is designed for A/E/C professionals looking to explore how AI can solve their real-world industry challenges.

Before the session, attendees are expected to submit the biggest challenge they believe AI can solve. Small groups will be formed at the workshop based on themes from these submissions, such as administration, planning, design, construction, and  operations/maintenance. Each group will collaborate with an AI expert to explore potential solutions and challenges, evaluate the feasibility and where to start, and outline an implementation strategy.

By the end of the session, you will have a high-level implementation strategy for your biggest challenge and a clear plan on how to use it  within your organization.
 

Who Should Attend?

AI is no longer just a futuristic concept—it’s here, and it’s ready to transform how A/E/C professionals work. But how do you determine if AI is the right tool for your challenge?

This highly interactive workshop is designed for A/E/C professionals who have a specific challenge they believe AI can help solve. Prior to the session, attendees will submit their challenges, and small groups will be formed based on industry themes, such as:

• Administration – procurement, proposals, cost analysis
• Planning – site selection, environmental planning
• Design – generative design, compliance checks, automation
• Construction – site monitoring, risk assessment, scheduling optimization
• Operations/Facilities Management – predictive maintenance, asset tracking

Each group will be led by an AI expert, who will guide participants in:

• Clearly defining the problem and assessing AI’s potential role.
• Exploring AI-driven solutions and evaluating their feasibility.
• Developing a practical implementation strategy tailored to their firm.

Why Should You Attend?

This session provides a foundational understanding of AI Use cases in A/E/C core functions and helps set the stage for a second workshop at JETC where participants will work in teams to solve industry challenges with AI solutions.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the session, participants will:

• Design a structured approach for tackling AI implementation in your work.
• Collaborate to develop a practical AI implementation strategy with peers facing similar challenges.
• Improve their knowledge about AI capabilities and limitations.
• Engage in collaborative insights from peers facing similar challenges.
