Join Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) to discover its journey of adopting and deploying OpenUSD to build an interoperable spatial technology stack (STS) with tools that include Maya software, 3ds Max software, Epic Unreal, and McNeel Rhino. The STS lets ZHA build immersive digital twins that enable deeper integrations between design and construction, enhance spatial experiences, and increase efficiencies in design and review cycles. In this session, we’ll cover how no-code or low-code platforms and APIs, such as NVIDIA Omniverse™, are enabling ZHA to build proprietary tools. These tools allow the firm to interact with and manipulate its datasets in processes such as robotics and digital fabrication. This approach reduces material waste while increasing sustainability and innovation. Join us to explore how this innovative approach revolutionizes architectural design, making it more engaging, responsible, and accessible to the architecture, engineering, and construction industry.

With the dramatic shift in the diverse use cases of real-time visualization, traditional 3D computer-adied design, high-performance computing, and generative AI across industries, a one-size-fits-all approach is no longer viable. Balancing increasing IT demands, tighter deadlines, and budget constraints necessitates investing in the right technology for the right users at the right time. AI is emerging as the defining technology of our era, and determining where to start can be challenging. In this session, discover how to best equip your organization for success with insights into using Lenovo solutions to maximize your Autodesk experience—from initial steps to hybrid working, generative AI, and larger global deployments—helping you reduce costs and enhance workforce agility.

AI is transforming every company. An organization’s technology stack needs to be flexible enough to respond to all the business demands for AI—now and in the future. For Autodesk users, the same systems that run your design technology today will be the main tool to access AI features both in the cloud and on your local machine. That combination of local and centralized AI features is important to understand as we implement the next generation of technology. In this panel, leaders from Dell Technologies, Intel, and NVIDIA will discuss the role of AI at the edge and how to build a strategy that works for the road ahead.
