ENR FutureTech 2026

ENR FutureTech 2026, presented by Engineering News-Record, is construction's leading technology conference convening approximately 600 architects, engineers, contractors, technology innovators, venture capitalists, and real estate developers in San Francisco May 4–6 to explore how emerging technologies reshape construction processes and building sustainability. The three-day forum showcases artificial intelligence for estimating and management, digital twins for design optimization, robotic inspection and demolition, reality capture technology, predictive analytics, and 3D printing and prefabrication. Technical sessions examine how generative AI improves design efficiency, how digital twins enable data-driven decision-making, how robotics enhance safety and productivity, and how analytics prevent cost and schedule overruns. Speakers from leading firms discuss technology integration into workflows. Themed tracks address climate-smart design, carbon footprint optimization, waste reduction, circular economy principles, energy-efficient building systems, and sustainable material selection essential for construction's sustainability leadership.
