Winners to be Selected and Announced at the Year in
Infrastructure 2018 Conference in London

EXTON, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#YII2018–Bentley Systems, Incorporated, a leading global provider of
comprehensive software solutions for advancing infrastructure,
today announced its call for submissions to the
Year in Infrastructure 2018 Awards program. The awards, which
are judged by independent juries of industry experts, recognize
infrastructure projects for digital innovations that improve project
delivery and/or asset performance. The deadline for submissions is April
30, 2018.

The Year in Infrastructure Awards (formerly Be Inspired
Awards) are an integral part of Bentley’s annual Year
in Infrastructure 2018 Conference, which this year takes place
October 15 through 18 in London at the Hilton London Metropole.

Users of Bentley software are invited to enter their projects in the Year
in Infrastructure Awards program, no matter which phase the project
is in – preconstruction/conceptual, design, construction, or in
operations. The three finalists chosen for each awards category win a
trip to London to attend the Year in Infrastructure 2018 Conference,
as guests of Bentley Systems. The finalists will present their projects
as part of the conference before the judges, industry thought leaders,
and more than 100 members of the media.

Every project nominated for a Year in Infrastructure Award
receives significant and valuable recognition across the global
infrastructure community. Through the Year in Infrastructure
Awards program, participants:

• gain global recognition by having their infrastructure projects
  profiled in Bentley’s Infrastructure
  Yearbook, which is distributed in print and digital formats to
  nearly 150,000 key media, government, and industry influencers around
  the world; in addition, all winners’ and finalists’ projects are
  featured on Bentley’s
  website
• enhance their competitive edge by demonstrating to existing and
  potential clients the value they add to projects through their digital
  innovations
• receive media coverage from global media and support from the
  Bentley team in marketing and promoting their respective projects to
  the media

Matthew Simon, vice president, HNTB, said, “Our project being a 2017
winner is a game-changer for HNTB. It shows we are able to take this
technology and use it for other projects and other pursuits. It puts
HNTB in that trusted advisor position with our clients—to deliver these
projects every day.”
