> "A first for the Architecture, Engineering, Construction Industry, the AEC Hackathon is a non-profit event that creates on-the-spot teams of technologists and industry stakeholders to shape the future of our built environment. The hackathon provides a playful, exploratory environment where disruption and creative ideas are the essential tools for innovation. The AEC community faces fresh new problems that urgently need brilliant minds to solve them. How are you changing the world?"

> The CAD group is further looking at a serious effort later this year to grow X3D support for AEC/BIM.  Related working-group efforts include support for 3D Printing and preservation of digital assets and Cultural Heritage.
> 
> We will also cover these topics at the upcoming Web3D Emerging Technologies event, Tuesday 15 March in Arlington Virginia at the Virginia Tech Research Center.
