So yeah, remember when I quit my day job and said 2012 was going to be a big year for me and Shoegnome… What are you doing November 14th-16th, 2012? Why not come to Architecture Boston and hear me give a lecture on BIM? Here’s the details about my talk:

The ‘I’ in BIM can be easily understood in its relationship to the physical construction of a project. BIM speeds up basic documentation, deepens links between the AEC team, and allows for continuity with Facility Management. Viewing the Information differently, BIM also provides clients with better understanding of the project and opens them up to larger ideas about the value of Architecture. Presentation materials and visualizations need not be a detour in the design and documentation process. Attendees to this session will learn how to use BIM to help clients visualize, analyze, and virtually live in their projects prior to and during construction. Techniques for visually presenting  information about function, cost, and aesthetics will be shown.

But wait, there’s more!

Here’s a code for a 15% discount: SWD155
Register before October 31st if you want the best rates. The code will of course still work after Halloween, but 15% off of a smaller number is better than a bigger number (in this context that is).

Oh and I’m not done  yet…

So my talk is at 8:30 am on the 14th. That evening at 6 pm, I’ll be on a panel discussion with other ArchiCAD power users during a special ABX 2012 ArchiCAD User Group. More on that when I get the details.

And since you’re already at ABX:

Check out these other BIM, IPD, and Lean talks.

Hey Jared, I’m nowhere NEAR Boston!!!

Yeah, neither am I! Don’t worry, I’ll also be giving this talk at Eco Build in Washington, D.C. in December. More on that shortly. And to be honest, I am super fascinated with what BIM does for clients (beyond just potentially saving money before and during construction). So whether it’s future lectures, webinars, articles, blog posts here, on BIM Engine, or elsewhere, or who knows what, this won’t be the last time you hear me musing on client communications with BIM.
