Panel discussion: The Data Advantage: How Better Data Is Reshaping the Built Lifecycle

As AI promises to upend the AEC industry, the organizations pulling ahead share one thing in common: they got serious about their data first. This panel brings together leaders from across the built lifecycle to explore what outcomes better data is unlocking and the thorny questions every AEC firm is wrestling with right now. Who owns the data? Who can actually get value from it? How do you turn it into new services for clients? And what does the competitive landscape look like for firms that move now versus firms that wait?
