BIM Algorithmic Workflow Case Study Mr. Eugenio FONTAN BIM Director and Co Founder, Enzyme APD Ltd. HKIBIM Annual Conference 2017 Theme: Transforming BIM to Action Date: 22-Nov-2017 (Wed) Time: 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Venue: Grand Ballroom I-III, Level 6, Royal Plaza Hotel, Hong Kong Organizers: The Hong Kong Institute of Building Information Modelling (HKIBIM) http://www.hkibim.org HKIBIM Annual Conference 2017 is the 8th Annual Conference organized by the Hong Kong Institute of Building Information Modelling (HKIBIM). It is the premier annual event for experienced professionals to demonstrate the practical use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) processes using real cases. The speakers are encouraged to illustrate lessons learned in practical projects so that more professionals from different disciplines can improve their productivity through efficient use of BIM and advance practical knowledge. This is an exciting opportunity to share your knowledge and experience with the larger BIM community.
