The BIM A+ International Conference is a two days Master Conference with presentations of former Master Students.
International Conference in BIM
Overview
The BIM A+ International Conference aims to assist the dissemination of cutting-edge research and applications in the context of BIM, made specifically in the context of MSc dissertations. The International Conference is organized every year in early October, with the presentation of dissertations defended within the last 12 months. The conference has the implicit participation of graduates from the BIM A+ Master. In 2023, the conference takes place on the 2nd and 3rd of October, in an online manner, with streaming and participation through the 3 coursework locations of BIM A+, respectively in Guimarães (Portugal), Ljubljana (Slovenia), and Milan (Italy).

BIM A+ International Conference
Venue
Even though the conference is taking place online, accepting both speakers and attendants to participate remotely, there is also a live streaming at 3 locations, where speakers and attendants can participate physically and enjoy some good old-fashioned networking that we are all missing (conditional to sanitary restraints applicable at the date of the conference and the location in question).
