North America Digital Twin

Digital twin conference (industry 4.0 / smart manufacturing)

About this event

A two-day conference on digital twins for the built environment: urban planning, smart cities, transportation and infrastructure delivery. The speaker list leans firmly toward practitioners, including airport, transit and infrastructure owners alongside the engineering firms delivering their programmes, rather than software vendors, though Esri and Autodesk both present.

Social media & coverage

A photographic field report from the Denver sessions, published by the Become the Building BIMStorm community. It gathers 265 field photographs and four motion clips across the 13 sessions, and draws out the themes that recurred through the day: a digital twin as operational truth rather than a frozen model, geospatial context extending beyond the building, conversational interfaces to complex information, and the owner's responsibility to define the information ecosystem that outlives project delivery.
