About this event

The 3D Collaboration & Interoperability Congress convenes engineering, manufacturing and standards practitioners in Golden, Colorado to work through model-based definition, digital thread and CAD interoperability challenges. Organised by Action Engineering, the 2026 programme centres on practical sessions and working groups rather than vendor keynotes, aimed at teams implementing MBD and PLM data exchange across their supply chains.
