Agenda Highlights for TECH Perspectives Seattle 2020
The industry keynote address will be delivered by Donna Laquidara-Carr, the Industry Insights Research Director from Dodge Data & Analytics who provides editorial direction to the SmartMarket Report Series, covering such diverse topics as World Green Building Trends, Prefabrication and Modular Construction, the Business Value of BIM and Managing Risk in the Construction Industry.

In addition, we have technology innovators to present and hold insightful discussions about:

Collaboration & Building Information Modeling (BIM) | How do we make sure we're all working on the most up to date information and maintaining a single source of truth? With BIM at the core of the project delivery, the need for any time, anywhere, collaboration, data continuity comes into play.

We will hear from Salla Palos, Director of Transformation Services of Microsoft; Angus MacGregor, Principal of Olson Kundig; Robert Otani, Principal of Thornton Tomasetti's CORE Studio; and Josh Rodgers, Virtual Design Construction Manager of Mortenson Construction.
Smart Buildings | Every day, we hear about a new "smart" technology that will change our lives. But what does smart mean in the context of designing, developing, and operating buildings? This session we will hear from AEC's industry leaders on how smart building tech and data can provide a deeper role for design intelligence in the era of the digital twin.

We will hear from Stephen van Dyck, Partner of LMN Architects; and Nicholas Desbiens, Head of Digital Practice of KPF.

The half-day conference is accredited by the AIA for 3.5 Continuing Education Units (CEUs). For an up-to-date schedule of the sessions, and to register for the TECH Perspectives Seattle conference, visit the TECH Perspectives website at www.techperspectives.com.
