Digital Advances

Bentley Systems Year in Infrastructure 2019 had all the elements of awe and knowledge, thus making people future-ready

Few companies would organise an entire event to celebrate and demonstrate what its customers are doing. Bentley Systems has gone that one leap ahead. Not strangely, the company is able to demonstrate its tools at work in real-world applications. In keeping with its tradition, the company kicked off its Year in Infrastructure 2019 Conference, “Advancing BIM through Digital Twins,” from October 21-24 at the Marina Bay Sands hotel in Singapore, after concluding last year’s successful event in London. The Marina Bay Sands makes an ideal location to host an infrastructure conference considering the grandeur of the place and location.

With an elaborate agenda planned for each day, Bentley Systems had every kind of information and knowledge sharing sessions thus making it for a fruitful day. As if attracting a crowd of over 1,400 from over 130 countries was not enough, Bentley Systems ensured that it had plenty of announcements and tie-ups to announce that would excite the guests, most of who already use its applications and software globally.

For some time now, the company had been stressing that digital is the future. It amplified that this year by announcing initiatives with Digital Twin and merging it with its existing software for Project Delivery. The concept of ‘digital twins’ ran through this year’s edition of Bentley’s Year In Infrastructure.
