Amtech's second Crystal Clear BIM conference took place on 24 and 25 March and brought together leading speakers from government and industry.
Delegates at the event gained a real-life perspective on BIM while also going on a journey through a real project, from concept to handover and operation.
The conference was again held in the Crystal, the stunning, sustainable building situated in London's Green Enterprise District. The uniquely shaped, glass-clad structure encompasses an area of more than 6,300m2.
It gave delegates the information they need to cut through some of the BIM-wash that is often expounded and get to grips with what BIM really means for them; be they designers, constructors, facilities managers or maintenance contractors.
As well as time for networking and browsing the exhibitor area, there were opportunities for delegates to visit the BIM Knowledge Centre to see cutting-edge tools in action in the R&D Zone and assess their own BIM-readiness in the BIM Assessment Zone. Attendees were also able to experience the potential of augmented reality, a digitally enhanced view of the real world using a tablet device or using ground-breaking Oculus Rift technology.
Future events will include a programme of seminars/workshops to be held at racetracks around the country, with opportunities for attendees to watch British Motorsport riders practising, including Amtech-sponsored brothers Taylor and Tarran Mackenzie.
