    Presentation: Accelerating Your Digital Journey with Generative Construction in ALICE
    The evolution of technology and growth of the construction industry has resulted in advances in construction scheduling. ALICE is the world's first generative construction simulation platform that allows firms to use project constraints to quickly generate schedules and make data-driven decisions.  ALICE provides the opportunity for teams to explore different construction strategies during the bidding and pre-construction phases.  Once construction begins, ALICE can help teams react to changing variables like crew and equipment availability within minutes.  
    Parsons has leveraged ALICE to realize savings on a large transportation project where they shortened the schedule by using an ALICE simulation to work with their subcontractors to find a different path forward. 
    Come learn how your projects can benefit from ALICE.

      Panel Discussion: Archviz in Your Daily Workflows: Using the Enscape Real-time Rendering Solution to Boost Collaboration in Any Situation
      • The field of architectural visualization has come a long way. What was once a vey time consuming and cost-intensive process that only larger firms could afford has now become more accessible thanks to real-time rendering.
      • Real-time rendering with Enscape is a gamechanger as it allows the process of planning and designing on CAD modelling tools to occur at the same time as visualizing 3D walkthroughs. Whether you’re an architect, construction worker, or client, everyone can experience the project as if it was already built. This concept allows all project members to get a deeper understanding of the design phases and provides a more efficient way of working collaboratively.
      • In this panel discussion, we’ll explore the different approaches of how Enscape is helping AEC companies today in dealing with the realities of COVID-19, from remote collaboration to the impact on essential workers.
      • Join this group of AEC experts and take away new ideas of how collaboration looks like in times of crisis. We’ll showcase creative rendering and collaboration use cases that will leave you motivated and inspired.
