Digital Twin | BIM World Paris is a leading event dedicated to digital technology and innovation for buildings, infrastructure and territories. New reorganised, it is to be structured around the pillars of: Smart and safe territories and cities where technologies help improve the living environment, and connected buildings, through the digitalisation of processes, construction tech, AI, BIM, digital twins.

The major themes will be:

• BIM, GIS and interoperability
• Design, construction, building and renovation
• Decarbonisation, energy and sustainable development
• Infrastructure and cities
• Skills and training
• Data, AI and cybersecurity
• Digital twins

Sydney Build is Australia’s largest construction and design show, held every year at the International Convention Centre at Darling Harbour in the heart of Sydney.

The event attracts 25,000-plus attendees and 550-plus speakers across 15 stages, as well as 600-plus exhibitors. There also are networking parties, a government hub and an architect’s hub.

South Australia’s Spatial Information Day (SID) will be held on Friday, 7 August at the Adelaide Convention Centre.

An annual highlight of the South Australian geospatial community’s calendar, SID brings together experts from the fields of surveying, GIS, remote sensing, photogrammetry and more, for wide-ranging discussions and networking.

The theme for 2026 is ‘Every future starts somewhere: From ground truth to space, shaping what comes next,’ and for 2026 the organisers are hoping to attract around 400 delegates and 40 speakers. This year will also see the introduction of the inaugural South Australian EISSI Awards Dinner.

The call for abstracts and papers is now open, with speakers invited to submit their ideas within a wide span of topics, such as:

• Various spatial disciplines, e.g. GIS, surveying and so on;
• Real-world case studies;
• Insights into innovation techniques and approaches;
• Smart cities and infrastructure;
• Emerging technologies.

A sponsorship prospectus is now available, while tickets for the event are expected to go on sale soon.

BIM World COPENHAGEN will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, from 16 to 17 September 2026, bringing together a wide range of experts from across the fields of digitalisation in construction, real estate and urban development. This includes surveyors, mappers, architects, engineers, contractors, building owners and consultants.

Billing itself as ‘Fuelling the future of the building industry with data and digitalization’, the event will tackle the transformation facing the construction industry, including the pressure to reduce emissions, cut waste and design for circularity, by zooming in on data as the essential link between the green and digital transitions.
