A/E/C AI and Cybersecurity Summit

Introduction

AI is reshaping how federal infrastructure is designed, built, and maintained — and the window to get ahead of it is now. A first of its kind summit - The Federal AI Summit: AI for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (A/E/C) - brings together the government leaders, military engineers, A/E/C executives, technology innovators, investors, and researchers who are defining what responsible AI adoption looks like for federal infrastructure. 

Join the Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) and Stanford's Center for Integrated Facility Engineering (CIFE) on September 9–10, 2026 at Stanford University. Two leading organizations. One conversation that can't wait.
