The AGC of St. Louis is presenting the third annual St. Louis Regional BIM Conference on Thursday and Friday, August 7th and 8th. The event is held at Washington University in Lopata Hall.
This is a two day conference that includes BIM related speakers, break out learning sessions/labs and lots of networking. The keynote speaker for this year is Joseph Joseph of Disney Imagineering.
The St. Louis Revit Users Group will also be there and presenting two learning sessions at the conference this year. The "BIM Team Sandbox" panel discussion will be about best Revit workflow practices for a multi-discipline Revit BIM Team. The "Family Values" lab will walk you through some advanced family creation techniques and workflows to make efficient flexible Revit families.
Members of the STLRUG will also be available for the open Lab time to answer your Revit questions or help solve any Revit problems you may have.
Please plan on attending, this is a great event!

2014 Central States BIM Workshop
Hey St. Louis Revit Users,
I wanted to share some information about a great low-cost Revit training workshop being held in Omaha, NE on August 21 -22. This workshop (formerly known as the Central States Revit Workshop) is a great, high quality event that is fairly local and much less expensive than an AU or RTC type conference. I encourage any one who has the ability to attend this conference, you will not be disappointed. High quality speakers, great class content, and incredible networking event.
There will also be a STLRUG presence at this event, as I will actually be presenting a class.
Please see below for additional information and links to the Workshop website.
