AEC Unfiltered: A Raw, Unfiltered Take on AEC’s Biggest Challenges

What if two of the brightest minds in AEC sat down for an unfiltered discussion about the industry’s biggest challenges? No scripts, no marketing spin—just raw, honest insights.
That’s exactly what AEC Unfiltered is all about.
We’re bringing you a live, unscripted series where Valentin Noves (CEO of e-verse) and Christopher Diggins (CEO at Ara 3D) tackle the industry’s toughest topics with no reservations.
A Conversation That Matters
Forget polished keynotes and rehearsed webinars—AEC Unfiltered is about real talk.
Each session, Valentin and Christopher will dig deep into the problems (and solutions) shaping AEC’s future.
And we’re not just talking about broad trends—we’re breaking things down to what really matters for architects, engineers, and software developers in the field.
First Topic: The Problem with BIM Data (Hint: It Has No Structure)
Our first session kicks off on February 20, diving straight into a problem every AEC professional has faced: BIM data is chaotic.
It lacks structure, making it difficult to extract, analyze, and use efficiently. Valentin and Christopher will explore why this happens, how it impacts workflows, and what the industry needs to do about it.
