- An overall explanation of BIM and the importance of BIM adoption
The webcast will be broadcast live starting at 2 p.m. (EST). Registration is complimentary for all participants; pre-registration is required. Questions from the Internet audience will be accepted during the live webcast, which will also be archived for later viewing.
