Space Group brings BIM Show back to the North East

Newcastle-based Space Group is bringing its BIM Show Live conference back to the region for the first since its beginnings in 2011.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is paving the way in construction’s digital environment.

Popular with architects, engineers and construction professionals, the show will be offering a content programme delivered by hand-picked digital construction experts, with an anticipated attendance of over 300 national and international delegates expected to attend the two-day event.

The show will take place on 1 and 2 February 2017 in the city centre’s Stephenson Quarter, with the conference programme delivered in the Space Architects-designed Crowne Plaza hotel, and the exhibition area spilling over into next door – in the brand new Boiler Shop.

Previously held in London and Manchester, BIM Show Live founders; Space Group’s CEO Rob Charlton and Technology Director Adam Ward, and Product Manager at Autodesk James Austin wanted to bring the show back to its roots.

Rob Charlton said: “This year we are going back to our roots and making a big return to the region with BIM Show Live where the idea was first born.

“We have previously staged it in some fabulous locations, but it’s time to put our own personal Space Group touch on the event, in a venue we have a passionate connection with.

“In the past few years we felt the event had become a little too commercial and moved away from its original purpose: an event for early adopters of BIM, driven by quality content.

“Therefore we’re bringing it back to what it’s all about and focusing on innovation and insight for digital construction.

“At Space Group we’re known for our no nonsense approach, and we plan to provide our visitors with all they need to know about how to adopt BIM and how to make it work for them by sharing projects and processes that truly make digital construction work – real-life success stories on who’s winning with BIM!”
