About HKIBIM Hong Kong BIM Conference
Next year marks the tenth anniversary of the HKIBIM. As a kick off celebration event, HKIBIM Annual Conference 2018 –
commemorating a dedicated decade of promoting excellence and exchange in the thriving Building Information Modelling
(BIM) field. As we celebrate our past successes, we also look to the future, by welcoming the latest innovations and
explanations offered by academic research. And, we embrace the present – firstly by exhibiting the latest products,
technologies, services and training programmes which are propelling the BIM industry – and secondly by facilitating the
meeting of minds, sharing of ideas and forging of contacts that underpin any thriving industry. This is reason the HKIBIM
Annual Conference begins its second decade by shifting to the relaxed environment of a co-working space –encouraging
dialogue and incubating ideas between everyone present.
