THE Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) is set to host a crucial executive session focused on the construction industry’s future, titled ‘Smart and Sustainable: Building Intelligent Ecosystems for Tomorrow’s Cities’, next week at the Downtown Rotana.
The event is a direct response to the industry’s need to navigate accelerating urbanisation and intensifying climate pressures by transcending simple digital adoption towards embracing true artificial intelligence (AI).
It will be an in-person session on AI-driven decision-making and predictive tools fosters resilient, regenerative projects through collaboration, inviting industry professionals, innovators, and thought leaders to explore the next frontier of construction.
Attendees will delve into the transformative power of predictive digital twins and data-rich collaboration platforms that foster resilient, regenerative projects. This discussion aligns with the CIOB’s urgent call to action for reducing environmental damage while delivering economic and social value.
They will also learn how intelligent ecosystems can automate risk detection, embed sustainability metrics, and facilitate lifecycle optimisation through innovative strategies.
The key topics for the insightful discussion include AI-Driven Decision Making, Predictive Digital Twins, Data-Rich Collaboration Platforms, and Regenerative Principles. The session will feature compelling case studies from the Middle East, illustrating how integrated data environments and AI tools have successfully reduced project delays, minimised waste, and supported net-positive urban growth. These real-world examples will provide valuable insights into best practices applicable globally.
Taking place on Wednesday from 7pm to 9pm, the event is organised by CIOB Middle East and North Africa in collaboration with CIOB and is co-hosted with RIB software. Members attending the session can gain 3 CIOB CPD points upon reflecting on the ethical aspects of their learning.
