Program Topics:
Across the AEC industry, AI, automation, and data-driven practice are actively redefining how we design, build, and deliver projects. At the core of this transformation is integration of information, of organization, and of process. Hence, the theme of this year’s CIFE Summer Program is integration.
The 2026 CIFE Summer Program, held September 23-24 on the Stanford University campus, will showcase how professionals across AECO are working differently and more effectively because of integration. Speakers, from project engineers to top executives, will share real-world examples of current practices and offer insights into how their practices and outcomes are expected to evolve in the foreseeable future. Join us to gain perspective on how integration of information, organization, and process is reshaping the way we plan, design, and build.
