Join a celebration of Richard's life and all that the buildingSMART community has achieved since the professionalization journey, which started under his leadership when he joined in 2013.
Since he joined buildingSMART International in 2013, Richard professionalized and transformed the community by providing structure, people, and confidence in his leadership and vision. This vision helped to ensure the entire built asset industry could work together across borders and across language barriers to achieve common goals. At this event, you will hear from some of the key people that helped to support this vision.

We invite everyone to make the most of this site and submit content. The aim is for this to become a resource area to support the growing demands for openBIM standards and services.
