Information about the presentation:

AI won’t transform construction unless people know how to use it. Drawing on real-world experience delivering an AI education program for a major infrastructure authority, this session shares a practical framework for upskilling AEC teams. From surveying organizational needs and mapping capabilities to designing role-specific training that builds confidence and accelerates adoption, you’ll leave with a clear playbook to launch your own capability uplift program.
