Virtual Summit Spring 2021
buildingSMART International’s third Virtual Summit was held in the Spring of 2021 and was delivered in conjunction with the Swiss Chapter. This summit took on a new opening structure in order to accommodate buildingSMART Switzerland’s Digital Construction Event ‘_xCH21’. The first three days saw shared keynotes, a day of roundtable discussions, bSI specific keynotes and masterclasses hosted in German. This was followed by six days of ‘Room Sessions’ and a Closing Plenary on the tenth and final day.
A total of 131 presentations were delivered by 259 speakers, with 76 hours of content now available on-demand. A record number of 1045 attended from 41 countries – testament to our growing community. As always, thank you once again to our sponsors for helping to make such an event possible.
