NXT BLD & NXT DEV
Architecture/engineering/construction innovation conference (technology for AEC)
About this event
AEC Magazine's 11th-anniversary NXT BLD and NXT DEV event at the QEII Centre, London, covering digital fabrication, robotics, generative design and real-time visualisation on Day 1 (NXT BLD) and AI-powered modelling, automated documentation and reality capture on Day 2 (NXT DEV).
Who it's for
NXT BLD and NXT DEV is genuinely useful for architects, engineers and construction firms exploring emerging design technology such as AI, generative design, digital fabrication and XR, and for software developers and product teams building AEC tools, since NXT DEV specifically targets in-house dev teams and AEC software vendors. It suits CTOs, BIM managers and innovation leads evaluating next-generation workflows. It is less useful for general construction site or operations staff, or procurement-only roles with no interest in software or emerging tech.
