Ecobuild feedback

At Ecobuild I attended a seminar on BIM at which fellow Be2camp member Rob Annable spoke, describing his efforts to incorporate BIM and social media into neighbourhood consultation processes. I have blogged about this on ExtranetEvolution.com.

Be2campNorth - Liverpool

Several Be2camp members were at EcoBuild in London yesterday and met at the end of a day in a nearby pub. From a brief conversation between myself, Martin Brown and Adrian McEwen, it looks like we will be holding another Be2camp event, this time in Liverpool. As soon as further details of the date, time and venue are confirmed, they will be posted on this site.
