Keynote Address: Creating Smarter Infrastructure - Unleashing Information Technology in the Built Environment
We are starting to see the built environment as a potentially intelligent system of systems, within an ecosystem. Our built world and its inhabitants are churning out an exponentially growing river of data. That data, with the application of analytics, apps and control systems, is yielding unprecedented insights that already are changing design, construction and operations. David Bartlett, IBM's vice president for smarter physical infrastructure, will help us see how this data-rich, holistic system of the built world is translating into an imperative for ever-smarter buildings and infrastructure, and he will help us understand what that will mean to the construction industry of the future.

Virtual Gets Physical: New Devices to Bridge the Divide
As software tools provide increasingly fantastic ways to visualize design intent and simulate construction processes, there is a growing need for physical devices that allow us to experience these virtual visions in a variety of environments and to create tangible representations at multiple scales. Knowledgeable industry leaders will explain and demonstrate examples, highlighting how the physical is keeping pace with the virtual.

The Rise of "Super Subs": Will They Become the Drivers of the Industry?
Trade contractors are among the fastest adopters of advanced modeling and production technologies, and are also eagerly embracing the benefits of collaboration, virtual coordination, model-driven prefabrication and modularization. As this trend accelerates it is not hard to imagine a world in which large, technologically sophisticated multi-trade contractors with design/build and post-construction servicing capabilities become the central hub of the project lifecycle process. A panel of experts will explore this possibility from several perspectives.

What Owners Want from Technology for the Lifecycle
Project owners from different sectors of the construction industry share their expectations for the technology expertise of architects, engineers and contractors. How do owners set requirements (written or unwritten) for technology skills, and how do they vet firms based on their technology capabilities? This panel will discuss how much weight owners give to a firm's technology savvy when evaluating a project proposal.

Computational Design
Traditional Computer Aided Design tools represent and document the final state of a proposed design, but offer little to practitioners for generating and exploring a vast array of feasible options and analytically optimizing the final solution. An emerging approach replaces this with simulation and other computational approaches to analysis and aesthetics, providing designers the exciting combination of conceptual freedom with scientific rigor. Leading experts will share their current experiences implementing this Computational Design approach and their perspectives on how it will impact the future of the industry.

Digital Cities: BIM on an Urban Scale
The urban environment is becoming sentient for the first time. Smart cities are awakening, roused by exponentially growing data streams from all kinds of infrastructure. This creates opportunities for web-enabled analysis and management that can lead to better design, performance, service and sustainability. But the framework for this urban intelligence is the digital model of the built world, which is authored by designers and builders. Think of it as intellectual property on an enormous scale. This panel of leaders in the Smart Cities movement will help us see the opportunities for the industry that this creates.

Hottest Construction Apps
The hottest apps in the construction world will be unveiled during this panel discussion when ENR reveals the results of its polling and market research into the hottest and most useful apps and mobile tools in use on today's networked jobsites. Also during this panel, experts in application development will provide live demonstrations of cutting edge apps they have developed in-house for clients and special projects, helping participants gain insights into how these tools are created. Plus, university researchers will give us a look at what's coming out of the research lab and over the horizon in construction apps.
