Project Management Orientation

This session will provide an overview of the roles and responsibilities of the owner and contractor’s project manager. It will provide a perspective of the worldwide project planning and execution environment and how project management must react to changes in this ever-changing industry. The session will provide attendees the opportunity to better understand the function of the project manager and how creating an environment where others can work efficiently is the primary role. Click here to register.



BIM in Program Management and Integrated Design
This session shares information on how Jacobs Engineering uses Building Information Modeling (BIM) to fulfill design requirements on a USACE design program, specifically the Battle Command Training Center (BCTC) program. The presentation showcases how a standard collaborative design approach used across multiple building types of BCTCs enabled previous design successes and ideas to be more readily applied to the next project.
