Autodesk Construction Leadership Forum- Chennai Edition August 2026 By Team Marksmen

A deep dive into Digital Project Delivery and how technology is transforming the construction industry.

The construction industry is at a critical inflexion point, with technology redefining how projects are planned, executed, and delivered. Digital Project Delivery (DPD) is at the heart of this transformation - leveraging cloud-based solutions to connect teams, data, and workflows for more efficient, collaborative, and successful project outcomes.

The exclusive CXO session, where experts and industry leaders will explore how Digital Project Delivery (DPD) is empowering real estate developers and general contractors to:

Reduce project delays and cost overruns with real-time data and automation
Enhance collaboration between teams through a secure Common Data Environment (CDE)
Streamline project workflows - from design coordination to construction management
Leverage AI-driven insights for risk mitigation and operational efficiency

This closed-door forum is designed for high-impact dialogue, peer learning, and real-world insights with no presentations but only meaningful conversations. This impactful engagement will be followed by an exclusive demo of Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), showcasing how a connected ecosystem can help construction professionals gain better control over their projects.
