Note that Sept. 5th is the deadline to sign up as a player on the Alexandria BIMStorm and Sept. 12 is the deadline for the Tshwane BIMStorm. There is still time to sign up either as a player or observer.

As you know we have two classifications of participants. Players who will be creating projects and observers who will be watching or commenting on projects. We encourage teams to interact with each other and seek input from other teams. Some of this will happen naturally during the BIMStorm. For example we have teams that will be reviewing security and force protection for the Alexandria BIMStorm..

Please reference the updated team list on this page:

New information is also posted here:

Please watch these pages for updates.

The other place to watch and use for communications is the OPS Forum:

We encourage all Players to log in and create projects in OPS this week.? There is a new 4 minute animation titled EZ BIMStorm, that illustrates how to very rapidly create a project as a starting point.

Observers can log in and see projects from other teams and comment on them with text or attachments.
