Free NBS Half Day BIM Conference

Yesterday we released details of our 2011 BIM Conference. It's in association with New London Architecture (NLA). Details from the press release below:

Set to become a key part of public procurement, BIM is one of the hottest topics in the construction industry yet nearly half of professionals working in the sector are neither currently using it or aware of its benefits.

Held in conjunction with NBS, this free half day conference will seek to get to the very heart of what BIM is, who can benefit from using it and whether the pros do really outweigh the cons.

Join us for a morning of lively debate and case studies that will provide you with the most accurate, up to date and honest assessment of BIM.

Friday 16 September 2011, 8:30 – 13:00
