Bentley Announces Project Finalists in 2015 Be Inspired Awards Program
Bentley Systems, Incorporated, a leading global provider of
comprehensive software solutions for sustaining infrastructure,
today announced the project finalists in the 2015 Be
Inspired Awards program. The awards honor the extraordinary work
of Bentley users advancing infrastructure design, construction, and
operations throughout the world. Ten independent jury panels comprising
distinguished industry experts selected the 54 finalists from more than
360 nominations submitted by organizations in 55 countries.
The finalists will present their innovative projects in front of their
peers, the jurors, and the more than 100 members of the media at The Year
in Infrastructure 2015 Conference, taking place Nov. 3-5 in
London, U.K. This global gathering of leading figures in the world of
infrastructure design, construction, and operations will feature:
-
a series of thought-provoking keynotes by Bentley senior management as
well as guest speakers comprising prominent industry thought leaders;
-
interactive workshops exploring the intersection of technology and
business drivers, and how they are shaping the future of
infrastructure project delivery and asset performance;
-
informative industry forums featuring expert
speakers from prominent organizations including American Electric
Power, American Road & Transportation Builders Association, ARC
Advisory Group, Atkins, Black & Veatch (News - Alert), Burns & McDonnell, ConnDOT,
Fiatech, Highways England, Parsons Brinckerhoff, Robin Partington &
Partners, and Trimble; and
-
the announcement and celebration of the Be Inspired Award
winners at an evening ceremony and gala.
The Year in Infrastructure 2015 Conference is an ideal
opportunity for management-level executives in architecture firms,
engineering firms, construction companies, and government or
owner-operator organizations responsible for the design, delivery,
and/or operations of infrastructure to share best practices and interact
with infrastructure professionals from around the world. All those who
submitted a nomination in the Be Inspired Awards program are also
encouraged to attend.
Bentley Systems COO Malcolm Walter said, "The Year in Infrastructure
Conference is one of my favorite Bentley events. It provides, within a
few focused days, inspiring presentations of the year's most
extraordinary advancements in infrastructure, coupled with valuable
insights on the innovations in technology and best practices that are
helping improve project delivery and asset performance. At the same
time, attendees have ample opportunity to network with other
infrastructure leaders who are shaping the future. As a bonus this year,
the backdrop for the conference is once again London - a city known for
its remarkable skyline of landmark structures, many of which were
designed and built by leading architectural, engineering, and
construction organizations with the help of Bentley software. I look
forward to welcoming the many senior executives from infrastructure
organizations around the globe who will gather at the Hilton London
Metropole in November for this engaging experience."
