Workshops
The 2015 forum will also feature an 80 minute streamed workshop on each day, allowing delegates to choose between practical content that best suits their own job role, experience and educational needs. The workshop streams available to delegate are:
Modelling, Drafting & BIM-MEPAUS
The stream will primarily focus on the integration of the BIM-MEPAUS initiative into the workflow, including use of the template, information on the latest specification, use of shared parameters and manufacturers content.
- BIM-MEPAUS modelling – A2K Technologies
- Fabrication workflows – Autodesk
Project Management & Field-BIM
This stream will focus on the technologies available to communicate information more efficiently and effectively to-and-from site.
- Field Technologies – Trimble
- Project Management methodologies – ViewPoint Construction
Networking and Exhibition
The forum exhibition hall will once again showcase a tailored selection of industry leading exhibitors, and will provide excellent networking, including opportunities to speak with exhibitors, presenters and workshop facilitators.
At the conclusion of both days we invite all delegates to join us for networking drinks to be held in the exhibition foyer.
The 2015 Forum promises to be an exciting and enjoyable event that offers not only an insight into BIM development and practices, but also networking and professional development opportunities.
