Be Inspired 2011 finalists
The finalist projects of the Be Inspired 2011 Awards have already been announced, an event that will again be taking place in Amsterdam, from 8 to 9 in November.
Out of a total of 270 organizations in 42 countries, 59 projects within 20 categories have been nominated. The exercise helps Bentley to publicize its trends and at the same time recognize the efforts of companies that implement its technologies. In particular, I am interested in knowing the route that Project Wise and Bentley Navigator will take, of which I saw a demo last year and that these days have released versions available in the App Store; the first is a multiple document manager and the second an I-models viewer with a 360 degree view not only horizontally but also vertically.
The 4 special recognition awards have also been announced, in the 4 areas of sustainability that have started since the Be Inspired format was launched. In this case, we are struck by the fact that the Mexico City Cadastre has been chosen, from which we hope to see an inspiring exhibition.
