9th National Conference – buildingSMART Italia

April 16th marks my first collaboration with buildingSMART Italia. We’ve been working in the same sector for ages, and yet we never crossed paths.

I’m not fond of everyone that’s been invited to speak but I am proud of my co-host, the brilliant engineer Silvia Gioja, and my guest will be a local entrepreneur who’ll speak about the difficulties of finding professionals that are as skilled as the market requires, and of the challenges of integrating infrastructural know-how and the technical capabilities needed for information modelling, everything in a speech titled BIMposter? which really makes me laugh.

I’ll also have the pleasure of bestowing an excellence award to some former colleagues, which is always nice. It’s happening in Rome.
