The conference also includes the selection and announcement of the

throughout the world.
During six industry-focused forums featured during the conference — Buildings
and Campuses, Digital Cities, Industrial Infrastructure,
Rail and Transit, Roads and Bridges, and Utilities
and Water — more than 55 awards finalists will present their
projects to independent panels of jurors, more than 100 members of the

evening ceremony and gala.
Aret Garip, technical director for WSP, attended Bentley’s conference
last year in Singapore to represent WSP’s One Blackfriars project
in London, which was chosen as an awards finalist. Garip said, “The
conference has been truly inspiring and educational. It’s a great event
to learn about the latest tech in engineering design software and an
opportunity to meet the creative, intelligent people who develop new
tools to make it easier for us to design buildings.”
