Real power happens when BIM and GIS are combined. It means removing data silos and connecting the natural and built world to design, make, and manage more resilient infrastructure. That’s when truly positive outcomes start to happen.
Over the past 8 years, the alliance between Autodesk and Esri has become stronger and deeper with intentional connections across platforms. Our commitment is to deliver even more interoperability between BIM and GIS that results in better decisions, smarter workflows, and a more resilient future.
As part of that support and mission, we’re thrilled to be back at Esri User Conference again this year as a Gold Sponsor. Taking place July 14 – 18 in San Diego with more than 18,000 GIS professionals in attendance, it’s an incredible chance to showcase the latest advancements and value of BIM and GIS convergence for civil infrastructure.
Autodesk will offer informative technical sessions, theater presentations, customer case studies, a team of technical experts, customer presentations, sponsor of the AEC social, and more. Raji Arasu, EVP, Platform Services and Emerging Technologies and Chief Technology Officer of Autodesk, will also join us at the conference to meet with Esri executives, press and analysts, and customers.
