    Description

    AI is changing how work gets done in architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO), but it's also complicating the path forward. Do you wait for a feature, bolt on an add-in, or hack together an AI solution? In this panel, industry experts will respond to real-world scenarios and rapid-fire questions. Drawing from experience across platforms, add-ins, and AI workflows, they'll weigh trade-offs between features, integrations, and fast AI solutions, including what works, what breaks, and what creates risk. This session is for teams working within real constraints. Whether you have development resources or you're figuring it out on your own, you'll leave better equipped to decide what to buy, what to build, and when a quick solution makes sense.

    Key Learnings

    • Assess when to rely on native platform features, add-ins, or AI-driven solutions based on real-world constraints.
    • Learn about and compare how different approaches (features, integrations, AI) perform across speed, risk, and long-term impact.
    • Hear expert responses to real-world scenarios to identify trade-offs and decision strategies.
    • Learn how to determine the most appropriate solution path based on available resources, timelines, and risk tolerance.
