Parth Tikiwala provided clarity on the vital necessity to create stronger links between the classroom and the field.

Cornelia Maria Tuglui shared her experience in working with students and opportunities to connect them further with the AECO industry.

Olivier Boennec helped us visualise the importance of data when designing and its impact on the projects stages.

Lanre Gbolade inspired us with GDS journey in adopting BIM and the positive impacts on their workflows together with the challenges.

Jaime Ingram Solís showed us that BIM is not linked to the scale of the projects and is essential for small and medium practitioners.

Cristina Chitimus clearly demonstrated the benefits of BIM for developers and contractors.

Lee Morris introduced the workshop by showing us how Solibri, Inc. collaborated closely with for .
