At our 2026 U.S. Summit at the Diverge Innovation Center, 40+ companies didn't just talk about the future of the built environment — they showed it. From construction robotics and smart tools, to AI-powered software and site cameras, attendees got rare, hands-on access to the technologies transforming how we design, build, and operate. If you missed it, you missed something worth seeing. 👀

It is one thing to plan an "anti-conference" focused on raw executive dialogue and live tech; it is another to see 250+ of the brightest minds in AECO actually roll up their sleeves and challenge the status quo for two days straight in Phoenix.

From deep dives into AI roadmaps by innovation leaders, to seeing 40+ demonstrators show us exactly what the future of robotics and VDC looks like in the field—this wasn't your typical sit-and-listen event.

The most rewarding part? Seeing our collaboration sessions turn into a massive engine for actionable change.

We’re still processing all the insights, but one thing is clear: the shift from "what’s possible" to "what’s actually working" is officially underway.
Stay tuned—we’ll be sharing more highlights and outcomes in the coming weeks.
