Vendor ITM User (VIU) Presentations

The VIU workshops are organised by the buildingSMART's International Technical Management Committee. The purpose is to bring the software vendors and users together in a problem solving working environment. Currently it is not a marketing event for the vendor; it is about getting something for the ITM and for the users. In the future, multiple tracks may be considered to include commercialisation as a theme.
