What's on //
Three kinds of innovation, from the widest view down to our own industry.
The big picture
Macro innovation. Theory and themes from global leaders in innovation.
Next door
Adjacent innovation. Mobility, robotics, space and venture capital. Work at the leading edge that will reach the built environment.
Our industry
Built environment innovation. The companies disrupting architecture, engineering and construction.
Hands on
Live demonstrations. Workshops and workstations where you can see what the tools do today.
The day //
Four themes, in the order the day runs.
The theme names are working titles.
Form //Transform
Change
How new technology is reshaping the built environment and the professions.
Human //Machine
Practice
How architects, engineers, quantity surveyors and contractors use AI today.
Steel //Silicon
Solutions
Software demonstrations and working methods you can test yourself.
Current //Converge
Connection
Time to meet: academia, students, industry and technology companies.
Why //
Why this?
A one-off conference fades. This one launches a lasting network for practice, research and industry, with more events, workshops and publications to follow.
Why now?
AI is changing Irish architectural practice fast, and the conversation is being led elsewhere. Nobody in Ireland has yet become its focal point.
Why here?
SETU's Waterford campus has the facilities, the research centres and the students. The South East can offer a view the big global centres can't.
Hosts //
South East Technological University. Academic leadership, research, students and future talent.
AI-led creative intelligence for architecture, design and project delivery.
Speakers and partners will be announced here once they are confirmed.
