"The Seventh Annual BIM Symposium on Building Information Modeling:
Views from the Academy and the Profession

Conference coordinators:  Karen Kensek,  kensek@usc.edu, and Douglas Noble
 (website last updated 26 June 2013 – NOT DONE YET!)

BIM Futures 2013 will be held July 15th and 16th at the University of Southern California and is sponsored by the School of Architecture, the Chase L. Leavitt Master of Building Science Program. I am sorry for the primitive website, but I don’t have time to make it graphically compelling although I will keep it updated with current information.

This symposium will focus on the future of BIM, both from academic and professional viewpoints. Past events have quickly sold out; don’t wait until the last minute to register.  Each day will have about 10 – 15 speakers discussing the role, implementation, and future of building information modeling.  The current list of confirmed speakers is listed below.

BIM 2013 REGISTRATION

REGISTER HERE  (please remember that there are NO REFUNDS!)



Early bird registration is $10 for Monday, $25 for Tuesday. We CANNOT refund anything that you pay for on the website.  Really.  But you can send someone else instead – just have him/her check-in with the name that was registered.



Register separately for each day.  Yes, there is a small fee for each day – we noticed that if we don’t charge something some people sign up and then forget to show up or cancel thus preventing others who wanted to attend from coming.  We have a limited amount of spaces based on the size of the available lecture hall.



Monday, July 15th – Academic View  

Tuesday, July 16th – Professional View



The final complete schedule with the order of the speakers will be posted a week before the symposium.  Each day will go from approximately 8 am – 4:30 pm.
