In short, innovators in AEC. If you are eager to learn from technology thought leaders and design initiatives that propel our industry forward, Confluence is for you! Our program for Lexington 2024 will involve sessions from leading firms in the AEC industry who are using AI and ML to drive efficiency and creativity, as well as opportunities to learn how these technologies are shaping others’ research outside of AEC.
As always, Confluence Lexington is an opportunity to learn, share, and engage with thought leaders and peers in your industry. We structure the conference around education sessions exploring technology and its AEC implications on a high level, but we are also careful to include plenty of what we call “white space,” opportunities to sit with what we just learned and discuss it with the leaders next to you. The activities we plan in between our sessions foster those incredibly important conversations. Here are some highlights to look forward to this year:
- Legendary Thoroughbred horse auction site Fasig-Tipton will be the backdrop for our discussions Thursday, and Kentucky fare made by the equally legendary chef Ouita Michel will serve as our fuel.
- We will be one of the first groups to tour University of Kentucky’s new College of Design.
- Bourbon abounds again this year. We’ll tour Woodford Reserve, Castle & Key, and Log Still distilleries.
