Professional Development

Shaping the Future of AEC Through Collaborative Discourse

Confluence brings together Design Technology leaders from leading AEC firms and product management leadership from key AEC software companies and service providers.

Goal

Provide an environment where timely conversations can influence short-term development and implementation goals.

Format

Confluence events are limited to 50 participants splitting roughly between 2/3 practitioners and 1/3 technology providers. Each event is themed and provides a facilitated series of presentations, group discussions and opportunities to engage.

History

The first Confluence event was held in 2019 in Lexington, KY, home of AVAIL, with 35 participants engaging in 3 days of conversations. Now in its 5th year, Confluence has hosted over 100 individual participants representing the industry’s leading thinkers.

Future

We've starting taking Confluence on the road!  After a successful 1-day event in Southern California in 2023 we are planning additional 1-day events, open to all AEC professionals.  Next up... NYC in April '24.
