Bentley Announces Project Finalists in 2014 Be Inspired Awards Competition
EXTON, Pa. --(Business Wire)--
Bentley Systems, Incorporated, the leading company dedicated to
providing comprehensive software solutions for sustaining infrastructure,
today announced the project finalists in the 2014 Be
Inspired Awards competition. The awards honor the extraordinary
work of Bentley users improving and sustaining the world's
infrastructure. Nine independent panels of jurors, comprising
distinguished industry experts, selected the 54 finalists from
nominations submitted by organizations in 49 countries.
The winners of the Be Inspired Awards will be announced at The
Year in Infrastructure 2014 Conference, which takes place
Nov. 4-6 in London, U.K. This global gathering of leading executives in
the world of infrastructure design, construction, and operations
features a series of presentations and interactive sessions exploring
the intersection of technology and business drivers, and how they are
shaping the future of infrastructure delivery and investment returns.
Tailored to the information needs of management-level executives in
architectural and engineering firms, construction companies, and
owner-operator and government organizations responsible for the design,
delivery, or operations of infrastructure, The Year in Infrastructure
2014 Conference is the perfect forum to:
-
share best practices in infrastructure design, delivery, and
operations from peer organizations;
-
network with peer organizations, more than 100 members of the media,
and industry thought leaders from around the globe;
-
explore cutting-edge technologies and how they are changing the
way information moves throughout the infrastructure lifecycle;
-
gain insight from presentations delivered by many of the
world's top thought leaders to help understand, prepare for, and take
advantage of the key trends that are transforming the design,
delivery, and operations of the world's infrastructure.
All those who submitted a nomination in the 2014 Be Inspired
Awards competition are also encouraged to attend.
Bentley Systems COO Malcolm Walter said, "Our Year in Infrastructure
2014 Conference will provide the infrastructure executives gathered
from around the globe valuable takeaways that their organizations can
leverage to gain increased competitive advantage and ROIs. Through
insightful forum and summit presentations and discussions, they'll learn
about effective strategies for advancing BIM - strategies that are
empowering leading AEC firms and infrastructure owner-operators to
achieve better performing assets through increased depth of
information modeling and better performing projects through increased
breadth of information mobility. They'll also be briefed on
emerging strategies and next practices for further BIM advancement."
This year's conference guest speakers will include thought leaders from
the global community of infrastructure professionals. Among them is Ed
Merrow, Founder and President of Independent Project Analysis, Inc.
Merrow is recognized around the world as a subject matter expert in the
execution of large and complex megaprojects and capital projects in
general. Attendees will also hear from Professor Andrew McNaughton, FREng,
Chief Engineer and Technical Director, HS2 Ltd. Professor McNaughton has
been with HS2 Ltd since 2009, developing the principles, network, and
specific route design for high speed rail in Great Britain.
Walter continued, "But there's still more at this information-filled
event, including one of my favorite portions of the conference program -
the compelling Be Inspired finalist presentations. These give
attendees an opportunity to learn about BIM advancements at work, in
real-world projects, helping infrastructure professionals overcome
difficult, real-world challenges. This year's submissions were once
again extraordinary and truly inspiring. I extend my congratulations to
all of the finalists and wish them the best of luck in the final round
of this prestigious international competition."
