thinkBIM

The School of Built Environment, Engineering and Computing at Leeds Beckett University is proud to present this event as part of our Leeds Digital Festival activities, exploring the role data plays in ensuring safe and sustainable structures in the built environment, from buildings, to bridges to conservation projects.

From design, specification, manufacturing, installation and operational uses – good data management provides the only true continuous record for those involved in designing, building and managing the structures we interact with on a daily basis.

The School of Built Environment, Engineering and Computing has been delivering digital events for fourteen years now through our thinkBIM network. As we approach our 15 year anniversary we want your input as to what our associated industries need to do to move forward in our digital journey.

Refreshments will be provided throughout.
