Submissions Open to Present: CD/DC, Washington DC, July 15-16, 2026
CDFAM Computational Design Symposium
CD/DC is now open for presentation proposals.
The next CDFAM Computational Design Symposium takes place July 15-16, 2026 in Washington DC, and submissions are invited from industry, software developers, and academia.
The event continues the CDFAM Computational Design Symposium format: in-person, technically focused, and structured around practical application of computational design, simulation, AI, and machine learning across engineering, architecture, and manufacturing.
The DC edition extends the program to include additional presentations and roundtable discussions aligned with U.S. government initiatives, with intended engagement between industry, academia, and public-sector stakeholders.
Why Present
CD/DC draws a technically advanced audience from industrial design, engineering, architecture software development, government, and research.
Presenters are expected to go beyond product positioning and engage with substance and evidence: methods, results, open problems, and lessons from deployment.
The format is designed for knowledge transfer and networking, not sales pitches.
Washington DC adds a specific dimension. The audience includes government agencies and national labs with active interest in how computational design, simulation, and AI-driven workflows are being deployed at scale.
These are people who understand the constraints you are working within, have likely encountered the same problems, and in many cases are positioned to collaborate, validate, or extend the work. That makes the conversation after the talk as valuable as the talk itself.
Washington DC adds a further dimension. The audience includes government agencies and national labs with active interest in how computational design, simulation, and AI-driven workflows are being deployed at scale. Presenting here is a direct line to stakeholders who influence procurement, funding, and policy at the program level.
If your work is technically rigorous, deployment-tested, or advancing the state of the field, participating at CDFAM in Washington DC may be the best opportunity to share and connect with others in your space.
Confirmed speakers are already in place from:
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Atomic Machines, Boston Dynamics, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, DARPA, Istari Digital, nTop, Luminary, Arena Physica, Neural Concept, Intact Solutions, Compute Maritime, Cognitive Design, Lexset, C-Infinity, Vinci, 4D.ai, and SysGit.
Space is limited. The program is filling quickly.
Proposal submissions and early bird registration is now available at cdfam.com.
CD/DC is part of the CDFAM Computational Design Symposium series. Upcoming events: Washington DC, July 2026 / Tokyo, October 2026.
