Keynote presentation from Dan Isaacs, CTO of the Digital Twin Consortium, which drives the awareness, adoption, interoperability, and development of digital twin technology. What are the challenges that Digital Twins could help to address? What is the value proposition for Digital Twins and where can the most value be procured and who will benefit the most from a digital twin strategy?

BIM-based Digital Twins are getting popular but few practitioners understand how to create a functional Digital Twin from design & construction data. The presentation will present a few case studies from the leading facility owners around the world and demonstrate how BIM CDE can help collect and validate the data needed by Digital Twins.

Whether you believe the term “Digital Twin” is only a buzzword or not, the AECOO industry understands the potential of creating digital representations of built assets. Nonetheless, we still need to agree on what the term actually means, what this “Digital Twin” looks like and how we are actually getting there. This presentation will address some of the roadblocks EllisDon’s Digital Asset Delivery team has encountered while undertaking the challenge to create and harness the benefits of digital replicas.

Digital Twins are getting a significant amount of attention within the AECOO industry. Is this just a passing trend or a new industry buzzword? This event will dive into the business case for Digital Twins, and explore real-world case studies of how leading organizations are adopting and capitalizing on this technology. How do Digital Twins add value for the players in the AECOO industry and how can Canadian firms get their unfair share of the Digital Twin market? The panel discussion will revolve around the added value for each member of the team, the return on investment and the future of their Digital Twin strategy.
