On 1st December, the Global BIM Network (the Network) will bring together members of the global public sector, NGOs and multi-lateral organisations at the Network’s Annual General Assembly, with the aim to foster a more productive and collaborative global digital construction sector that delivers benefits for people and places. In addition to an update on the Network’s plans, at this year’s General Assembly attendees will learn about the development of the Network’s forthcoming Digital Transformation Playbook for Public Sector Construction. 

Network members will share lessons learnt from national digital transformation initiatives, consider how governments can tackle challenges collaboratively with industry, and discuss the guidance, tools and evidence that will inform national and international policy on better infrastructure delivery. These lessons will act as case studies for the Playbook, guiding global best practice in the digital transformation of the construction sector via BIM.

Register to attend this year’s event.

This year’s event will be delivered in Spanish and English.
