SUMMARY:Future of MEP: A NextGen’s Perspective
DESCRIPTION:This panel will bring together perspectives from owner representatives\, contractors\, VDC professionals\, designers\, consultants\, and industry partners to introduce MEP systems and highlight their critical role in successful project delivery. The discussion will explore how mechanical\, electrical\, plumbing\, and technology systems influence constructability\, cost\, schedule\, building performance\, operations\, and long-term value. With a design-build focus\, the panel will examine how early collaboration among owners\, designers\, builders\, trade partners\, and digital delivery teams can drive innovation and improve project outcomes. The conversation will also provide a forward-looking perspective on the tools\, technologies\, and digital strategies shaping smarter buildings and connected infrastructure\, including VDC\, BIM\, digital twins\, AI-enabled workflows\, IoT\, smart building systems\, smart cities\, and the future integration of roads\, infrastructure\, and building operations \nREGISTER NOW \nFour Learning Objectives:  \n\nUnderstand the critical role of MEP systems in successful project delivery\, including their impact on constructability\, cost\, schedule\, building performance\, commissioning\, operations\, and long-term value.\nExamine how design-build and integrated delivery encourage early collaboration among owners\, designers\, builders\, contractors\, trade partners\, consultants\, and digital delivery teams to improve project outcomes.\nIdentify how emerging technologies such as VDC\, BIM\, digital twins\, AI-enabled workflows\, IoT\, smart building systems\, and connected infrastructure are shaping the future of smarter buildings and modern project delivery.\nRecognize the skills\, mindset\, and cross-disciplinary coordination needed for students\, NextGen members\, and emerging professionals to succeed in the evolving MEP\, smart building\, and design-build environment.\n\nEvent Date: Tuesday\, September 22nd\, 2026  \nEvent Time:  6:30 PM – 8:30 PM  \nLocation: Empire State Building\, 350 5th Avenue\, 10th\, New York – NY 10118 \nCredits: 1.25  DBIA CEH Available \n\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Founder & CEO – GENX Design & Technology \n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Chris Dawson\, President\, TC Electric\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Alex Engelman\, Principal – Syska Hennessy Group\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Fabian Ayala\, Senior Project Manager – STV\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Sheriff Naggar\, Project Manager\, Hill International\, Inc.\n				\n		\n\nThank you to our program sponsor!
