It’s already showing up with a badge and a name tag in Washington, D.C ![Picture of Bluebeam](https://blog.solidcad.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Bluebeam%20logo%20Blog%20website%20.png?width=40&name=Bluebeam%20logo%20Blog%20website%20.png) Bluebeam 25 Jul 2025 ![](https://blog.solidcad.ca/hubfs/BB-Sessions-You-Dont-Want-to-Miss-Blog_Featured_900x600-1.jpg.webp) *This story was originally published by [Frank Kalman](https://blog.bluebeam.com/author/kalman/) on the [Bluebeam Blog](https://blog.bluebeam.com/unbound-2025-top-sessions-part-2/).*   The construction tech scene is crowded, bloated and filled with way too many buzzword bingo cards. But Unbound 2025? It’s where the real ones gather. This isn’t a conference built for suits trying to get through another keynote. It’s for the builders, thinkers and field leaders doing the work and looking for smarter, faster and, yes, less chaotic ways to do it better.   Scheduled for Sept. 30–Oct. 2 in Washington, D.C., [Unbound 2025](https://unbound.bluebeam.com/) is Bluebeam’s new industry conference. But this [event’s sessions](https://blog.bluebeam.com/unbound-2025-sessions-you-dont-want-to-miss-part-1/) hit different. They’re not just informative; they’re useful. These are battle-tested workflows, tech stacks that stack up and people who speak field, not fluff. Here’s a look at sessions that do more than talk about the future of construction—they’re helping build it.   ### **AI in the Field: Breaking Barriers and Building the Future of Construction** **Sarah Buchner, Founder & CEO, Trunk Tools Wednesday, Oct. 1 | 2:30–3:30 PM | Terrace Level | Cordoza** Let’s start with AI. Not the vague, overhyped kind. The “real people on real jobsites using it today” kind.   Sarah Buchner isn’t giving a think piece; she’s giving a field report. As the founder of Trunk Tools, she’s leading the charge on using AI to crush inefficiencies, tighten decision-making and bridge the field-to-office gap. Expect clear, hard examples—not just charts and charm.   If you’ve been wondering how to move past “we should look into AI someday” and get to “here’s how we’re using it now,” this is your session.   ### **A Project with Zero Disputes: The Myth vs. The Method** **Chad Waite, Senior Channel Manager, Document Crunch Wednesday, Oct. 1 | 4:00–5:00 PM | Lobby Level | Piscataway**   The words “zero disputes” in construction might sound like a setup for a joke. But Chad Waite is dead serious—and he’s got the workflows to back it up. This isn’t feel-good advice about everyone getting along. It’s a tactical look at the patterns, processes and tools that help prevent legal headaches before they start. Waite walks through how AI-powered contract analysis, smarter SOPs and clearer communication can reduce friction—and maybe even stop the finger-pointing before it begins.   Is a completely conflict-free project possible? That’s still up for debate. But fewer lawsuits? Less stress? That’s doable.   ### **Nice-to-Have vs. Need-to-Have: Making Smarter Tech Investments in an AI-Driven World** **Michael Pink (SmartPM), Matt Wheelis (Nemetschek), Aleksey Chuprov (Suffolk), Jesse Devitte (Building Ventures)** ** Thursday, Oct. 2 | 2:30–3:30 PM | Concourse Level | Georgetown West**   There’s a tech fatigue epidemic in construction. Every other month, a new tool promises to fix everything and ends up collecting dust in your license inventory. This panel gets honest about it.   Led by execs and investors who know the inside of the pitch deck and the jobsite, this session focuses on how to separate the tools worth your time (and money) from the ones that just look good on a slide. You’ll walk away with a smarter lens for evaluating tech and a blueprint for building a stack that makes sense for your workflows, not someone else’s sales demo.   ### **Turning Communication Nightmares into Manageable Mornings** **Katelyn Rossier, Architect & Owner, mentorDINO Wednesday, Oct. 1 | 2:30–3:30 PM | Lobby Level | Jay**   If you’ve ever wasted an hour chasing down the right file or wondering who changed the markup (again), you’re not alone.   Architect Katelyn Rossier gets it. This session is a brutally practical look at how architects can use Bluebeam to tighten communication across teams, trades and time zones. From QC checklists to tool chests to markup tracking, she’ll show how to ditch chaos for clarity—and get your mornings back. Because collaboration shouldn’t require a scavenger hunt.   ### **Streamlining Design and Permit Reviews Without Losing Your Mind** **Troy Barbu, Digital Solutions Lead, AECOM Wednesday, Oct. 1 | 4:00–5:00 PM | Lobby Level | Oak Lawn**   Design and permit review is one of the biggest bottlenecks in construction, but many of the problems that slow it down are entirely avoidable.   Troy Barbu lays out how AECOM and its partners are using Bluebeam to get everyone on the same digital page (literally). Centralized Studio Sessions, shared standards, status tracking—it’s all here. And it’s all designed to keep projects moving instead of getting stuck in the approval vortex.   If you work with public agencies, review boards or just want fewer last-minute rework requests, this session is your sanity check.   ### **Intro to JavaScript in Revu: Practical Interactivity and How AI Can Help** **Glynis DeMone (Bluebeam) & Elizabeth Larsen (Stewart) Wednesday, Oct. 1 | 1:00–2:00 PM | Concourse Level | Lincoln West**   You don’t need to be a coder to start coding.   This beginner-friendly session shows how anyone—from project engineers to office admins—can start using JavaScript in Bluebeam to add powerful interactivity to forms and workflows. Think buttons that actually do something. Forms that behave.   Logic built into your PDFs. Glynis DeMone and Elizabeth Larsen walk you through the basics, with live demos and even a cameo from ChatGPT showing how AI can help get you started. If “automation” feels like a scary word, this is your safe entry point.   ### **Advanced JavaScript in Bluebeam: Expanding Your Automation Toolkit** **Elizabeth Larsen (Stewart), Mitch Youngs (Spokane Valley), Isaac Harned (TAB Technologies)** ** Wednesday, Oct. 1 | 4:00–5:00 PM | Concourse Level | Monroe**   Already tinkered with JavaScript in Bluebeam and want to go deeper? This session picks up where the intro left off, and it’s not for the faint of syntax. You’ll learn how to build dynamic scripts that interact with structured data (CSV, JSON, Excel), pull real-time values, automate forms and even debug like a pro. It’s practical, it’s technical and it’s built for anyone ready to turn Bluebeam into a real automation engine.   Because copy-pasting code is fine but knowing how it works is better. ### **Mastering Dynamic Stamps in Bluebeam: Customization with JavaScript** **Elizabeth Larsen, Project Engineer, Stewart Thursday, Oct. 2 | 2:30–3:30 PM | Terrace Level | Gunston East**   Want to look like a workflow wizard? Start with your stamps.   This session teaches you how to supercharge your Bluebeam stamps using JavaScript—adding dialog boxes, automated inputs and all kinds of logic that makes approvals smoother and documentation smarter.   Whether you’re trying to tame review chaos or just want stamps that reflect what’s happening on the page, this is where customization meets clarity.   ### **Why These Sessions Matter** The Unbound agenda is packed. But these sessions aren’t just good. They’re the kind that make you text your team mid-session with “we should try this.” From AI you can use to permit review that doesn’t suck, this is the future of construction, built by people who’ve been in the trenches, not just the tech booth. ## Unlock expert insights: connect with SolidCAD today!
