Planning and implementation: Integrating GIS, BIM, and AI for smarter space planning and opportunity discovery

In this session, presenters demonstrate how BIM, digital twins, Indoor GIS, and AI integrate to enhance space planning and management across higher education, government, and private sectors. They showcase real-world examples and deliver cloud-based, data-driven space standards linked to BIM and digital twins, enabling consistent, reusable definitions across building types. These standards, adopted by higher ed, healthcare systems, and federal agencies, support planning, operations, and lifecycle management. Through live demos, the presenters reveal how structured data and intelligent integrations drive real-time decision-making and scenario modeling, helping institutions optimize space use, align planning efforts, and build scalable, future-ready digital strategies.
