International Council & Chapter Conference

The recent World Economic Forum report, An action plan to accelerate BIM adoption compares buildingSMART to W3C when it stated that ‘Infrastructure and Urban development industry should support similar bottom-up consortia to standardize BIM data exchange… one such consortium exists – buildingSMART.’

Chapter Leaders shared how the growth and development strategies are being adopted for the development, promotion and use of openBIM in their countries. This enabled valuable insights from new and established Chapters to discuss in-country challenges, successes and industry engagement.

Several Chapters have already signed up to deliver the new Individual Qualification scheme with Germany being the first to launch.

Board & Strategic Advisory Council Meeting

In the face of growing demand and broadening technological possibilities this series of meetings enabled detailed discussions of the issues surrounding Product and Technology Strategy needs.

Presentations by industry and academic representatives covered a spectrum of user and technical focused topics. The valuable insights, opinions and debates will assist buildingSMART to develop an updated, clear and well-articulated Product and Technology Strategy which is forward-looking and embraces the future opportunities and requirements for open standards and addresses how real open functionality is made available and used.
