SUMMARY:Lessons from a Subsurface System Roll Out
DESCRIPTION:Lessons from a Subsurface System Roll Out \nMany firms have already selected a new subsurface data management platform. The real challenge now is implementation. \nBuilding on the earlier session\, “Transitioning from gINT: Comparing Alternative Solutions\,” this program focuses on what happens after the decision is made\, data migration\, system setup\, training\, and lessons learned during rollout. Panelists will share candid\, real-world perspectives on what it takes to successfully deploy new systems across technical and operational teams. \n➡️ When: April 30 | 1:00–2:30 PM ET\n➡️ Where: Virtual (Zoom)\n➡️ Who: Geoprofessionals\n➡️ 1.5 PDHs Available  \nWhat This Session Will Cover\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCommon themes from firms operating in execution mode \n\n\nStaff feedback on newly implemented systems \n\n\nTradeoffs of making changes after initial logging \n\n\nApproaches to ongoing training and user support \n\n\nTypes of outputs firms are producing today (e.g.\, profiles\, 2D models\, 3D models) \n\n\nPractical challenges in generating consistent\, reliable deliverables \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeatured Panelists\nScott Deaton – DataforensicsSam Singer – Langan EngineeringAlexa Teipel – TerraconSarah Wright – GZA GeoEnvironmental \nTogether\, the panel brings firsthand implementation experience from across the industry\, offering practical insight for firms navigating subsurface data management transitions.

SUMMARY:Managing Datum Change: Project Coordination and Risk
DESCRIPTION:Managing Datum Change: Project Coordination and Risk \nIn 2026\, the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) and NOAA will complete the most significant modernization of the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS)\, introducing new horizontal and vertical datums that will permanently replace NAD83 and NAVD88. \nWhile earlier discussions have focused on what is changing and why\, this session moves the conversation forward—examining how datum modernization is already affecting real projects and the practical decisions surveyors\, engineers\, and land developers must make in the near term. \nThis panel discussion brings together national experts from NGS\, NOAA\, and private practice to explore current failure points\, emerging risks\, and strategies for managing data consistency and client expectations during the transition. \n➡️ When: Thursday\, May 14 | 2:30–4:00 PM ET\n➡️ Where: Virtual (Zoom)\n➡️ Who: Professional surveyors and civil engineers with land development clients\n➡️ 1.5 PDHs Available  \nFeatured Panelists\nDan Gillins\, Ph.D.\, P.L.S.Chief\, Observation & Analysis DivisionNational Geodetic Survey (NGS)Associate Editor\, Journal of Surveying Engineering\, ASCE \nPat McGarrity\, P.L.S.Senior Project Surveyor\nPsomas \nGalen ScottConstituent Resource ManagerNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) \nFederico Olivares\nTechnical Expert / Data Centers\nOlsson \nTogether\, the panel brings perspectives from federal policy\, technical implementation\, and on-the-ground project delivery—providing attendees with both authoritative insight and practical guidance. \nWhy This Matters Now\nAs projects increasingly span the transition period\, firms face growing challenges: \n\n\nInconsistent vertical control across legacy and modern datasets \n\n\nMisalignment between survey\, design\, GIS\, and construction platforms \n\n\nIncreased liability tied to misunderstood or undocumented datum assumptions \n\n\nClient risk when elevation differences impact permitting\, drainage\, floodplain\, or construction decisions \n\n\nThese issues are no longer theoretical—they are showing up in active projects. \nWhat You’ll Learn in This Session\n\n\nWhere datum modernization is creating real-world problems today \n\n\nCommon failure points in vertical control\, transformations\, and mixed datasets \n\n\nHow new reference frames and geopotential datums affect engineering design and land development \n\n\nNear-term decisions firms must make regarding workflows\, documentation\, and client communication \n\n\nPractical strategies to reduce risk\, rework\, and disputes during the transition

SUMMARY:Technology Readiness in AEC: Benchmarking Performance and Defining the Path Forward
DESCRIPTION:May 13\, 2026 from 12:00-1:00 PM Eastern \nThe AEC industry is investing in technology—but readiness remains strikingly low. According to our latest industry research\, the answer is clear: overall technology readiness remains low. The median readiness score across firms is just 26 out of 100\, underscoring substantial opportunity—and urgency—for strategic advancement. \nThis webinar will present key findings from the report\, including performance benchmarks across firm sizes and the dimensions that most influence readiness. While Technology Infrastructure shows measurable progress\, other indicators\, including Culture and Innovation (21 percent median) and Technology Advancement (16 percent median)\, are lagging \nJoin our speakers\, Joe Bates and Markus Weidner\, for a conversation unpacking the findings of the benchmarking survey of engineering firms based on region\, size\, and other characteristics. \nAttendees will gain: \n\nA clear benchmark of industry-wide technology readiness\nInsight into how firm size influences digital capability\nAnalysis of infrastructure progress versus cultural and innovation gaps\nStrategic considerations for strengthening long-term competitiveness\n\nPresenters: Joe Bates\, ACEC Research Institute and Markus Weidner\, Pennoni
