AI as a concept is, of course, exciting; but that excitement can quickly fade in the face of ambiguous applications—which has, thus far, been a defining characteristic of its mass and rapid proliferation. At our upcoming Toronto Summit, we hope to add some specificity to the increasingly complicated topic of AI. See you all in Toronto!

It's official! Our 2024 Toronto Summit is officially SOLD OUT. A big thanks to all our partners and sponsors for helping us cross this impressive threshold. We're looking forward to seeing everyone next week! If you're sad you missed out on this year's Toronto Summit, there is still time to grab tickets for our remaining 2024 events. Though, no promises tickets will be available for long. We're anticipating sold out shows for the rest of the year. Infrastructure Conference in Washington, DC, October 1-2: https://lnkd.in/gJUqUWbJ Tokyo Summit, October 15-17: https://lnkd.in/em-Ubjfk Venture East in Boston, November 6-7: https://lnkd.in/e7uxP55E Offsite Construction Conference in Raleigh-Durham, December 4-5: https://lnkd.in/eNWvZuRm

The evolution of reality capture technologies over the past two decades has alone been astounding, but recent advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning have virtually supercharged that development. Join us tomorrow morning at 10am Central for a conversation with subject matter experts Roger Yarrow, Devon Copley and Will Synnott to discuss just how far reality capture technology has come and what that means for contractors in the field as well as the industry at large.
