This week at Design DC - June 22, 2011 8:30am-10:00am:
Interoperability: The Facts, Not the Fiction
There is far too much talk about how and why interoperability doesn't work. This session looks at projects where interoperability is successfully being implemented. Don't just read the hype in the blogs, hear it from those who are doing it today. Without a doubt, this session will be the one you should not miss if you are involved with building information modeling or plan to stay in business over the next few years. This all-star, multifaceted panel is at the center of BIM discussion worldwide. We certainly don't agree all of the time, except that we have reached the tipping point with BIM, and there is no going back.
