SEQ PlanTech Studio
In this networking meets workshopping event, groups will form to explore a series of questions that dive into the world of technology and data enhancing planning decision making. Whether you are a PlanTech beginner or you’re all-in, this fun and informative event will offer insights on how you can enable more rigorous decision making thanks to PlanTech innovations.
Join one of four dialogue clusters representing statutory and strategic planning across both public and private sector as you work with your peers to answer some critical questions on the potential role of technology and data in building better planning decision making processes.
Is it artificial intelligence helping automate aspects of the planning process? Is it possible to enhance community engagement? Can we genuinely help the resourcing constraints in the regions? Can BIM integration into DA processes move to become the norm, and not the exception?
Learning Outcomes:
- An understanding of the core PlanTech principles.
- An overview of critical technologies that can enhance planning decisions.
- An understanding of the enabling functions technology and data play in planning decision making.
Designed for:
- Planners and affiliated professions of all expertise levels.
