buildingSMART International will hold its first summit dedicated to openBIM in Marrakesh, Morocco, from 1-3 October
The Present and Future: Enhancing openBIM Workflows will connect global professionals with experts in Morocco and neighboring countries.
Attendees will discover how standards and services such as IFC 4.3, IDS, Validation Service and bsDD are making a real difference to the built environment.
The formal approval and publishing of standards and services such as IFC 4.3 and IDS have evolved the industry, providing access to a wealth of openBIM workflows, buildingSMART International said.
These advancements are bringing tangible benefits to end users, fostering clarity, confidence and consistency.
They also demonstrate how openBIM is instrumental in achieving sustainability goals and enhancing productivity in the sector.
The summit will provide an opportunity to delve into the practical applications of the latest standards and services, reaffirming the importance of openBIM
