Ridge and Partners LLP

How ready are you for the AI era? At this year’s BIM (Building Information Modelling) Summit in London, Amy Beckenham, Digital Engineering pro at Ridge, will be taking the stage to challenge perceptions about AI readiness in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. In her talk, “Revit is a database: Unlocking your hidden data literacy for the AI era”, Amy will reveal how Revit users have been database administrators all along - whether they realise it or not. By reframing BIM skills through a database lens, she’ll show how AEC professionals can harness their existing expertise to navigate the next wave of digital transformation. Amy will also be joining the panel discussion: “How will the next era of digital disruption transform BIM?” - tackling the implications of AI, evolving workflows, and the future of digital delivery in our industry. 📅 9 April 2025  📍 The BIM Summit, Hilton London Tower Bridge  🌎 https://lnkd.in/eMcBPBed Symetri Europe | Brent Rees #TheBIMSummitbySymetri #BIM #AI #DigitalEra #Revit
