KA Connect 2026 | Sundance

Designing Modern Learning Organizations

KA Connect 2026, our annual knowledge and learning management conference for the AEC industry, will take place at the Sundance Mountain Resort in Sundance, Utah from August 11th to August 14th, 2026.

At KA Connect 2026, we’ll explore what it means to design a modern learning organization—one that blends knowledge management, learning and development, and artificial intelligence into a more integrated and intentional approach to capability building.

This is not a solved problem. Far from it. The playbooks are still being written, the best practices are still emerging, and the technology is still evolving rapidly. But by coming together as a community—sharing experiments, surfacing insights, and challenging assumptions—we can get smarter, faster, together.

Over two mornings of general sessions, we’ll hear real-world stories from AEC firms navigating this shift and learn how they are:

Accelerating knowledge transfer by blending on-demand learning, social learning, and AI-powered search approaches
Building new learning experiences that are shorter, smarter, and more engaging for today’s learners
Making expertise more scalable by using AI to surface and distribute firmwide knowledge in the flow of work
Integrating KM and L&D—organizationally, culturally, and technologically—to better serve employees and the business

Designing for the future by investing in modern platforms, knowledge agents, smarter workflows, and high-trust cultures of learning

Sundance’s stunning location—at 6,100 feet in the north fork of Provo Canyon—will provide an inspiring backdrop for you to learn from and with your fellow KA Community members.

Join us as we co-create what modern learning looks like in the KM 3.0 era.

Why do our attendees keep coming back to KA Connect?

“KA Connect is one of the best AEC industry events if you are looking to get inspired and learn from firms that are in various parts of their KM journey. There is relevant learning and engagement at every level, whether you are a firm leader, design professional or a business partner. Every conference, we meet and forge connections with other firms that inspire us and our attendees go back to our firms with immediately applicable action items — big and small. The KA team also has a secret sauce — not only are they connection builders, but they truly make you feel like they SEE you and your firm and proactively help you navigate through your KM journey, no matter where you are in that journey.

KA Connect was the jump start into knowledge management we didn’t even know we needed. The connections I have made within the KA community are genuine and long-lasting. I still search prior KA Connect speaker recordings for inspiration and won’t hesitate to reach out to another firm to ask questions or openly share details about our own KM journey.

If you are seeking a community that values empowerment through knowledge sharing for the betterment of the AEC industry (and beyond) above all else, consider going to KA Connect. If staying curious is one of your firm’s core values, you will never stop learning at KA Connect…get ready for a transformation!”
