Information Without Borders: Cross-Industry Connections

Join us on Thursday, 17 September 2026 for Information Without Borders, a BIMWest event exploring ISO 19650 as a practical information-management framework, not simply a BIM standard.

While grounded in the built environment, the event welcomes participation from across industries. With proposed changes to ISO 19650 emerging, this is a timely opportunity to share knowledge, experience and established practices across sectors.

What to expect:

The evening will include a main presentation from Rishi Jobanputra and Bryan Tay, a practical BuildingTools presentation from Siva Gounder, a short NATSPEC industry update from Richard Choy, and a panel discussion with audience Q&A.

A combined 45-minute session exploring information management, digital delivery and the practical opportunities created when disciplines and industries work together.

A focused 15-minute presentation sharing practical BuildingTools insights, real-world applications and opportunities to improve information management and industry delivery.

Richard Choy will provide a brief five-minute update on NATSPEC and its valuable contribution to industry through practical guidance, standards and shared knowledge.
