AI is no longer a side conversation in AEC firm management meetings. It's THE conversation. Are you ready to join in? AEC AI Acceleration Workshop is the executive education experience that gives you a clear understanding of what AI can and cannot do, a practical framework for rolling it out strategically, and smart steps to leverage this transformative tech profitably.
“This was a great workshop. I really appreciated the breakdown on LLMs, RAG, AI use cases, and writing prompts. But the strategies on how to construct AI agents and workflows is the big takeaway. So much packed into one program!”
This intensive 2-day executive workshop is built around one idea: your AEC firm doesn't need more hype. And you don't need to be buried in highly technical discussions. You need a plan for AI adoption.
But before you can formulate a great one, you need a foundation of knowledge to stand on equal footing with your tech leads, outside vendors, and clients asking hard questions. So AEC AI Acceleration Workshop provides an honest, no-spin grounding in what agentic and generative AI can and cannot do.
Using actual AI tools and current case studies, you learn how to implement a tiered adoption framework — Personal, Department, and Organizational AI — so you know exactly what's next for your firm, and what you can't skip.
Only PSMJ's AEC AI Acceleration Workshop is built around live demonstrations, group exercises, and hands-on activities designed to make the learning stick. Over two days that fly by, you:
This program is interactive, with live applications and group workshops in every module. Don't expect to sit and listen a slide deck read out loud.
You gain an understanding of what large language models and AI agents actually are, how they work in the AEC industry, and where they reliably break — so you can evaluate any vendor pitch or internal proposal with confidence instead of guesswork.
Learn a proven framework for sequencing your firm's AI rollout — from individual staff using AI tools with zero infrastructure, to department-level workflows, to firm-wide systems built on your own project data — so you never skip a step you can't afford to skip.
See the real math behind AI-assisted documentation, meeting summaries, and RFI tracking — work that can eat 20-30% of a PM's week — and walk out with a model for calculating the ROI for your own firm.
With AEC win rates often hovering around one in four, and major proposals costing tens of thousands of dollars to produce, learn how AI-assisted RFP analysis, go/no-go decisions, and first-draft proposal sections help your BD team spend less time writing and more time winning.
Understand the real risks — hallucinations, shadow AI, data governance, and licensure exposure — and leave with a “measure twice, cut once” framework for piloting, learning, and scaling AI without betting the firm on it.
No homework, no follow-up webinar required. You leave with tiered, concrete action items sized to your role and firm, plus a takeaway packet: a Tiered Framework guide, a Decision Matrix, a Glossary, and an Action Checklist.
This workshop is built for the people who set AI strategy in AEC firms and own the outcome — not just the people asked to pilot the tools.
If your whole leadership team is wrestling with the same questions, bring them. The group activities work best with more perspectives at the table.
Daily Schedule Day 1: 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM Day 2: 8:00 AM – 3:30 PM
This executive education program is focused on helping you make smarter AI and tech investment and adoption decisions at your AEC firm by giving you strong foundational knowledge to work with. If the skills and tools you acquire don't have a positive impact on that goal, we will refund your fee or arrange for you to attend another PSMJ program at no cost. You take no risk!

Cameron spent 14 years in the manufacturing industry — automotive, power generation, and EV — holding a variety of leadership roles, including Chief of Staff at a publicly traded manufacturing company.
Then he founded Hallian Technologies, an enterprise-grade generative AI company built by data experts, to help AEC firms make smarter, safer use of this emerging tech.
That combination matters: Cameron has led a firm through the kind of digital transformation AEC leaders are facing now, from the executive seat, not just the IT department.
So he explains AI technology and terminology in language everyone can understand. You won't be scratching your head about ANYTHING he explains over the course of the program.
Most importantly, he's not here to sell you a tool. He's here to help you think clearly about how you want to roll out AI at your AEC firm, what the risks and rewards are, and what it can and cannot do to help your firm grow and succeed.
Cameron also facilitated the AEC AI Foundations Workshop at PSMJ AEC INNOVATE conference, attended by over 600 technology leaders and executives in the AEC industry.
Build a real plan for AI adoption at your AEC firm — grounded in what the technology can actually do.
