Chicago Innovation Tech 2022 seeks to bring and create a pipeline of innovation, research, and start-ups with focus on solving and promoting innovation in the architecture, engineering, construction and operation industry (AECO). This event is a multidisciplinary collaboration of local design technologists , engineers, designers and technology enthusiasts practicing in the AEC industry. We believe this event has the potential to foster innovation and create local incubators in the area. We see this symposium and masterclass as the first steps to a new discourse in technology and innovation in the Chicago area.
