ADCC Gobal Summit

Program

July 9, 2026  | Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany

For over four decades, automated design compliance checking (ADCC) has been one of the most enduring and ambitious research agendas in the AEC industry.  Yet despite these decades of effort, ADCC has not achieved the level of industry adoption that its potential would warrant. Now, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, particularly large language models and other generative AI technologies, is fundamentally reshaping what is technically possible. This creates both enormous opportunity and a new set of questions: How should ADCC research reposition itself in the era of AI? What is preserved from four decades of work, and what must be rethought? 

We are organizing the ADCC Global Summit to bring together leading researchers, public and private owners and clients, and ADCC software developers for a focused discussion on the current state and future direction of this field. The summit will be held on July 9, 2026, at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany.

The summit is structured around four sessions, each designed to tackle a critical dimension of the ADCC challenge:

Time	Session
9:00–9:05	Welcome Remarks
9:05–10:25	Session 1: ADCC Software Demos — Latest Features and Future Directions  Each presenter showcases the latest key features and upcoming development directions of their tool
10:25–10:40	Coffee Break
10:40–12:00	Session 2: Bridging the Adoption Gap  Why has ADCC not become general practice? Technical and non-technical barriers, and what can be done to overcome them.
12:00-13:00	Lunch
13:00–14:35	Session 3: Future ADCC Research Directions in the AI Era  AIs, particularly LLMs, are performing remarkably well. What distinctive contributions can ADCC researchers make?
14:35–14:45	Break
14:45–15:40	Session 4: Emerging Topics — What’s Next?  Short presentations by researchers on new directions in ADCC
15:40	Closing

The detailed program will be available soon.
