Keynotes
“Purpose-built AI for Infrastructure”
Bentley Speaker: Nicholas Cumins, Chief Executive Officer
We stand at the edge of a new era in infrastructure. With 95% of the infrastructure for 2030 already in place, the urgency to retrofit and adapt our existing systems is unprecedented.
Join CEO Nicholas Cumins as he delves into how purpose-built AI and data-centric strategies are revolutionizing infrastructure management to drive economic stability, promote environmental sustainability, and unlock the full potential of our existing infrastructure.
Date: Wednesday, October 9, 2024
Time: 8:45 to 9:15 a.m. (GMT-7)
Duration: 30 min
“Improving Delivery and Performance”
Speakers:
More to come!
Infrastructure and the professionals who design, build, and operate it are essential to our economy, society, and more. But they are also under pressure.
How can engineering and construction companies and owner-operators thrive in today’s complicated environment? Hear from global infrastructure experts as they examine new data-driven insights into the barriers and best practices to ensure optimal infrastructure project delivery and asset performance.
Date: Wednesday, October 9, 2024
Time: 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. (GMT-7)
Duration: 60 min
“Making the Right Connections”
Speakers:
Bentley Speakers
- Mike Campbell, Chief Product Officer
- Julien Moutte, Chief Technology Officer
Guest Speaker
- Joseph Viscuso, Senior Vice President and Director of Strategic Growth, Pennoni
While infrastructure organizations have made great strides, the data, workflows, and stakeholders that underpin delivery and performance remain largely disconnected. By fusing all data, infrastructure digital twins unlock silos, enhance collaboration, and foster innovation.
Join Mike Campbell, chief product officer, and Julien Moutte, chief technology officer, as they showcase Bentley’s latest developments, as well as unveil new products and digital twin technologies, that make the right connections between data, workflows, and professionals across the lifecycle.
Date: Wednesday, October 9, 2024
Time: 10:45 – 11:30 a.m. (GTM-7)
Duration: 45 min
Industry Breakout Sessions
These sessions present the opportunity to connect with people and organizations during social events to exchange ideas, spark collaboration, and shape the future of infrastructure innovation.
The sessions will be available for on-demand viewing.
“Cities of the Future: Powering Smarter, Sustainable Infrastructure”
By 2050, 70% of the world’s population is expected to live in cities, but 75% of infrastructure needed to accommodate new residents by 2050 has yet to be built. Through digital twins and AI, cities of the future can revolutionize urban planning, infrastructure development, and city operations.
In this session, experts will explore how digital twins are helping city leaders and their supply chains collaborate and make informed, data-driven decisions to improve urban living.
Date: Wednesday, October 9, 2024
