Advancing Computational and Design Automation 2026

Memo

As computational design and automation move from niche capabilities to core design drivers, the AEC industry is entering a new era of digital transformation. No longer the domain of coding experts, computational workflows and design automation are becoming more accessible, intuitive and powerful - unlocking creative potential and new levels of efficiency. That’s why the 9th addition of Advancing Computational and Design Automation 2026 is the only event bringing together 90+ of North America’s leading architecture, engineering, and design-build professionals to discuss evolving computational workflows, integrating AI, building future-ready teams and aligning firmwide strategies. This is your chance to make high-impact connections with AEC industry leaders and gain exclusive insights into the latest computational technologies and automation strategies that will revolutionize your design workflows. This January, join leaders from Gensler, Perkins and Will, Turner Fleischer Architects, and DIALOG to explore cutting-edge case studies, hands-on workshops, and collaborative discussions that will help you deploy automation across your firm, elevate design outcomes, and future-proof your scalable technology roadmap - this year’s conference is one you can't afford to miss.
