"As AEC firms continue to lead on innovation, there's a growing recognition that technology must not only enhance project execution but also support owners' long-term operational goals," says Scott Seltz, Publisher of Engineering News-Record. "The ENR FutureTech 2025 agenda reflects this dual focus, offering insights and case studies that bridge the gap between construction and enduring asset performance."
The following hot topics will be at the center of ENR FutureTech 2025 theme:
- Listening to the Owner: Transportation Infrastructure Owners Converge on Construction Technology Needs
Owners are becoming key drivers of construction innovation. This session will explore how infrastructure owners are aligning with AEC partners to implement tech solutions that ensure better facility performance and lifecycle management. - It’s Time for an RFP Reset
Effective Requests for Proposals (RFPs) are critical to communicating technology expectations and deliverables. Industry leaders will examine how owners can better articulate their digital needs, and how contractors can interpret and execute those visions more effectively. - Technology for the Care and Feeding of Digital Twins
Digital twin technology continues to mature, offering unprecedented operational insights. This session will explore real-world applications that integrate digital twins from the design phase through to long-term facility maintenance. - Rethinking Capital Planning
Capital planning is evolving due to increased budget scrutiny and growing project complexity. Sessions will explore how asset-centric project management reshapes how public agencies and developers evaluate and prioritize infrastructure investments. - AI-Aided Design Review and Faster, Better, Cheaper Reality Capture
Artificial intelligence and reality capture tools are accelerating design validation and field data collection. FutureTech will feature sessions on how these technologies are improving efficiency, accuracy, and decision-making across project lifecycles.
In addition to these sessions, another focus of the 2025 edition of ENR FutureTech is more internal for AEC firms. This focus features presentations about implementing some emerging technologies to improve AEC operations, like -
- Mentoring Meets AI.
- Saying Goodbye to the RFI?
- Closing the Change Order Gap
- Untangling the Supply Chain with a Bit of AI
- Private Eyes: Training a Proprietary AI Detective for Your Data Only
- Tightening Up: Innovators Run on Idea; Designers and Builders Run on ROI
- Field Forward: Driving Vital Data to the Workers on the Jobsite
As always, ENR FutureTech also embraces bold ideas that shape the future. These topics are just a glimpse into a robust agenda that will also include discussions on supply chain transformation, rapidly improving AI tools, and emerging technology horizons. The event aims to foster greater collaboration between owners and builders while providing practical strategies for tech implementation.
