Be Inspired Awards Agenda
Executive Roundtables
On the final half-day of the Be Inspired symposium, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a series of interactive roundtable discussions about key business and IT issues for plant, civil, building, geospatial, and platform technology. These intimate discussion groups will include leaders from design and engineering firms, owner-operators, as well as Bentley’s senior management and subject matter experts, with the goal of fostering an in-depth understanding of relevant issues facing the infrastructure professions and of strategies for employing IT to create new value and new business opportunities.
In addition, Bentley’s Applied Research Group will hold workshops to present and discuss their latest research projects.
