Partnerships
This event will build both on the success of previous events but will also incorporate new and exciting opportunities in order to further widen participation, engaging leading minds in academia, industry and a community of specialist to make up an exciting programme of international speakers.
The DC I/O event creates a forum for discussions surrounding a wide range of topics and provide a platform for showcasing projects, case studies and current, past and future practice in Building Information Modelling. A further aim of the event is to continue to grow an international network for those involved to learn, expand knowledge and form connections that can assist in good BIM practice.
Sponsorship and external support from industry partners for this event is key to the success and development, providing an essential part in the future investment of the Computational Design and BIM networks.
