WHEN:

Wednesday, October 19, 2011

5:30pm – 8:30pm

WHY:

With America's badly needed infrastructure overhaul, the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Owner/Operator (AECO) industry must prepare now for new federal legislation that could potentially authorize more than $100 billion in increased infrastructure spending. Speakers at Microdesk's BuildingSuccess event will address these issues and how to apply BIM standards to meet the demand for improving New York City's infrastructure. Speakers at this event are responsible for more than 975,000 buildings in New York City, and a portfolio of more than $6 billion in infrastructure projects.
