HanmiGlobal Hosts Global Summit on AI-driven PM

According to Asiae, HanmiGlobal will host the "2026 Global PM Summit" on June 19 at the POSCO Center Art Hall in Gangnam-gu, Seoul to mark its 30th anniversary. The event's theme is "Redefining the Future of Global PM in the AI Era," and Asiae reports it will feature international presenters and simultaneous interpretation for non-Korean speakers.

Asiae reports the summit agenda includes sessions on digital twin, BIM, AI-based process monitoring, and system autonomy, and will present case studies of AI-driven business innovation from Turner & Townsend. The article names academic talks from research teams at the Technical University of Munich and Technion, Israel Institute of Technology as part of the program.

Per Asiae, keynote speaker David Whysall, Chief Operating Officer at Turner & Townsend, will deliver the keynote "Turner & Townsend's Growth Strategy and the Future of PM in the AI Era." Asiae lists Professor André Borrmann (Technical University of Munich) and Professor Rafael Sacks (Technion) as special lecturers, and describes a panel moderated by Professor Kang Lee of Yonsei University that includes the named international speakers as well as Korean academic and industry representatives.

Editorial analysis: Construction project management conferences have increasingly foregrounded AI topics such as digital twin integration and automated process monitoring, reflecting a broader pattern where practitioners and researchers overlap at industry events to translate lab-level methods into operational workflows. For practitioners, these forums are common venues to compare data interoperability approaches and vendor demonstrations rather than to release production-grade models.

Editorial analysis: For project managers and data teams in construction, the listed topics signal continued emphasis on spatial-data standards (BIM), sensor-driven monitoring pipelines, and system autonomy research. Observers should view the summit as an opportunity to assess vendor approaches to data integration, model validation under site conditions, and research directions that may affect procurement and digital-twin strategies.

Editorial analysis: Attendees and observers should track follow-up materials from the summit for concrete case studies, data schemas, and interoperability specifications; also watch for any published performance metrics or pilot outcomes from Turner & Townsend or the academic presenters, which would be more directly actionable for implementation teams.
