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 2024, the conference takes place on the 1st and 2nd of October, in an online manner, with streaming and participation through the 2 coursework locations of BIM A+, respectively in Guimarães (Portugal) and Ljubljana (Slovenia).

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 2 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).

Invited speakers
Arlind is an architect and PhD candidate at KTH. His recent work focuses on reusing concrete from existing buildings in new projects, daylighting, regenerative design, and circular economy in the built environment. He employs digital technologies, such as computational design, building information modeling (BIM), and simulations, to drive the transition of the built environment towards a more sustainable future. Arlind has presented his work at prestigious venues, such as ETH Zurich, Daylight Academy, Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), eCAADe, IBPSA, EC3 & CIB, and Velux Daylight Symposium.
Arlind is actively involved in teaching activities at KTH and contributes to ReCreate, an EU-funded project focused on reusing precast concrete for a circular economy. Before joining KTH, Arlind worked in Finland, leading computational design initiatives at ARCO Architecture Company in Helsinki.
