buildingSMART alliance is pleased to be the sponsor of the National BIM Conference & BIM Expo at AEC-ST in Anaheim California May 19-22, 2008. The National BIM Conference offers you an excellent opportunity to showcase your products and design services before an audience keenly interested in the myriad information technologies, BIM and project delivery systems to construct better, higher- performing buildings.

To help you engage this exclusive group of architects, engineers, contractors, facility managers, specifiers, and building stakeholders interested in BIM, we have eveloped some new display options for you to showcase your services.

Based on input from buildingSMART alliance members, we are offering a passive/low cost option plus a video option in addition to the typical booth package.

Options available to service providers, BIM consultants, and product vendors include:

1. Poster Display. Provide us with up to three 22x28 poster boards and we will have them displayed near the NIBS buildingSMART alliance theater. Cost $750.
2. Video Display. Provide us with 20 PowerPoint slides of your work and we will incorporate them into the video display on-site in the NIBS buildingSMART alliance theater. Plus you receive the Poster Display option. Cost $1500.
3. Booth. one 10x10 booth plus a 20 minute case study in the NIBSbuildingSMART alliance theater and the video and poster display. In addition, you'll receive two VIP Passports (worth $795 each) to the conference sessions. Cost $2950.

We are committed to identifying and promoting the use of BIM and information technologies to support better design, better buildings, and a better built, more energy efficient, and sustainable environment.
