Technology is changing faster than we can keep up. Even though BIM and Revit may be an everyday word for your firm, are you really staying on top of the leading edge of technological advances?
Does Computational Design mean anything to you? What does a Smart City mean? How do you design a smart city from scratch?
Real time optimization of design exists, are you aware of what can be done?
Structural Computational analysis is being performed on projects, is it being done on yours?

WBC’s Leading Edge Technology program will inform you of each of these fascinating subjects.
Come hear from Gensler’s Computational Design Leaders Group on how they are harnessing the power of computational design to develop and evaluate building solutions.

Learn from Paul Doherty on how leading AEC/Real Estate companies are using innovation as the basis of design for the physical world while capitalizing on the management of the digital world of Smart Cities.

Forest Lee Flager will discuss a new software platform developed by Disney Research China and Stanford University that leverages information provided by mills, fabricators and erectors to enable real-time cost optimization of steel structures during early design.

Matt Johnson from SGH will discuss Structural Computational Analysis and how SGH is performing this in the real world.

Don’t miss this exciting program!
