Relevance:

Focus on the unique group of industry experts and super-users that attend and speak at BILT.  The conference is proud to have many of the leading figures involved in design and construction technology and Building Information Modelling worlds presenting at the conference, including both international and local speakers with unique insights that are simply not available elsewhere.

Point out that BILT is a “for users, by users” conference, and not a sales event. BILT’s focus remains on providing the opportunity for the exchange of information and ideas in what can be a complex and technical field. BILT’s organisers and presenters are directly involved with delivering projects, hands-on, with genuine real-world experience that you can benefit from.

BILT’s abstract selection process and number of simultaneous streams provides a choice of the most relevant and innovative content, and a unique view of cutting-edge workflows and techniques.  BILT classes cover both general topics and training specific to your software.  The option to take lab classes provides hands on experience of specific software and topics.

Technical benefits:

Include:

• Best practices and processes that  increase efficiency and productivity
• Workflows, techniques , and tools to bolster your skill-set
• New tools and technologies and case studies of successful projects and techniques
• Updates on government policies and legislation, industry standards, and commercial opportunities

Networking:

Mix with peers facing similar challenges and improving their understanding of similar subjects.

BILT presents a unique opportunity to discuss problems and challenges that you are facing with your both your peers, and also our unique group of experts  – there is a solution to your particular problem, and BILT is where you are most likely to find it!

BILT also provides the opportunity for architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, contractors and subcontractors to gather together to learn and share information and we hope, move towards solving real world interdisciplinary problems.

Expand your network at our social functions, and establish future business and collaboration opportunities. With social events organised across the entire 3 days (and included in the cost of your registration), networking benefits are maximised.

Value for Money

With the wide range of material on offer, and the choice of five simultaneous classes, you might need to send a team!  If you are, then ask for the group booking discount for five or more full conference delegates from the same organisation – including from multiple offices.

If your firm or department has multiple offices, then you should look at the opportunity to have your CAD/BIM/Design Technology/IT get-together at the conference. Think of the team-building and team development benefits! If you are happy to share rooms, then you can bring the costs down further.

If you compare the costs of BILT, with its unique content, with those of commercially motivated events, out-of-office training (which usually only covers the basics, and not innovations and best practice), and the costs of external consultants: how much would similar insight and breadth cost if you were to pay a consultant for three days?

Note that BILT is a day of your time (Saturday), as well as two days from your practice. Three days of benefit, for two days away from the office!

Think about becoming a speaker in future years. This offers a range of benefits and will cement your attendance in future years. It will also have you thinking in new ways as you strive to improve your skills and processes. It will improve your industry profile, your position within your firm, and your career.
