Beyond the Hype: Scaling AI in Construction
Join construction leaders to explore what it takes to move AI beyond pilots and into practical, scalable, everyday project workflows.
Interest in AI across construction has grown quickly, but the path from a promising pilot to dependable, day-to-day use remains unclear. Most firms are exploring, some are experimenting, and relatively few have successfully embedded AI into live project workflows at scale.
The challenge is not only the technology. Construction firms must also address fragmented data, legacy systems, workflow integration, employee adoption, governance, risk, unclear ownership, and the difficulty of proving measurable value.
Beyond the Hype brings together leaders from general contractors, engineering firms, project owners, industry associations, and AI innovators for an honest and practical discussion about:
Where AI currently sits on the industry’s priority list
Which use cases are delivering real value—and which have been quietly shelved
Why promising pilots struggle to reach production
What “production-ready” should mean in a construction environment
What companies and the broader industry must do to move forward responsibly
This is not a product showcase or a discussion about distant possibilities. It is a candid conversation about what firms are learning today and what it will take to make AI useful, trusted, and repeatable across real construction workflows.
Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of their organization’s AI readiness, the common barriers to implementation, and the practical steps required to move from experimentation to measurable project impact.
