BIM Activity Coming Up

Three weeks into 2012 and it's busy, busy, busy. Some events coming up for the diary...

  

1. London Revit User GroupOn Wednesday 18th January, Drew Wiggett from the BIM Academy and I have been askedto present the National BIM Library (NBL) developments to the London Revit User Group:

   We plan to have NBL content in IFC and a number of proprietary formats (ArchiCAD, Bentley, Revit, Vectorworks), but this is the first demonstration of the content in action to a particular user group.
   The other speaker on the evening is the Chief Construction Advisor to the UK Government Mr Paul Morrell.
   100+ attendees from different practices have signed up - so it looks like a full-house.
2. RICS BIM ConferenceOn Thursday 9th February I'll be presenting the findings of the National BIM Report 2012 at the RICS BIM Conference.
   We got 1,000 replies in the end to our survey. More than double the response from last year.
   We're just putting this publication together now. A fascinating insight into BIM Adoption in the UK, especially comparing the last year's research with this years.
3. ecobuild
   Finally, there will be lots of opportunities to listen to and speak with us ecobuild (Tue 20-Thu 22 March).
   - Throughout the whole event we'll have a RIBA/RIBA Enterprises/NBS area where there will be many presentations of our products and services for designers and manufacturers .
   - I'll be involved at the "Better Through BIM" main seminar series on Wednesday 21st March:
