CNFLUENCE
LEXINGTON
Join AEC’s most influential technology leaders
Confluence Lexington is a three-day, invite only professional development event
Confluence programming is designed to foster conversations between AEC firms and technology companies, so they can learn, share, and engage with each other to support industry innovation.
The Future-Ready AEC Firm
AEC firms are entering a period of rapid change. Confluence Lexington 2026 will explore how firms can adapt to evolving technology, workforce expectations, and business demands by building stronger foundations in people, process, data, and project knowledge.
Choose your own Kentucky adventure
On Saturday, October 10, Confluence Lexington guests can choose to head out on the Bourbon Trail or explore the world-famous Red River Gorge. There’s no wrong choice here: what adventure will you choose?
On the Bourbon Trail, we’ll learn more about the brands Knob Creek, Basil Hayden, and Booker’s, as well as visit Willett Distillery and Bespoken Spirits.
Red River Gorge explorers will enjoy a series of small hikes for breathtaking views and a Gorge Underground boat tour.
"There are only a few conferences where you're going to get high-profile professionals all together into a small setting and can actually pick their brains ... I would tell people that [Confluence] is something that you need to experience."
An afternoon at the races
A highlight of Confluence Lexington, our participants and their plus ones will head to the Fall Meet at world-renowned horse-racing facility Keeneland for a true Kentucky experience.
