In the rapidly evolving world of AV and integrated system design, staying at the forefront of technological innovation is essential. This session will convene a diverse panel of industry experts—including an integrator, a design professional, and a VR/CAD software provider—to share insights and practical experiences with the latest tools and methods shaping the future of design. Moderated by an industry thought leader, the discussion will explore how advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), building information modeling (BIM), Revit, CAD, advanced rendering, benchmarking, and more are transforming workflows, collaboration, and outcomes. 

Learning Objectives 
Identify and compare current design tools and technologies used across integration, design, and software development in AV projects 
Understand how AI, VR, BIM, Revit, CAD, and rendering tools are driving innovation and efficiency 
Examine real-world applications and case studies demonstrating the benefits and challenges of these methods 
Discuss future trends and skillsets required for professionals in the evolving design landscape
