Overview
Earlier this year, IWFM and Microsoft invited senior FM practitioners, academics and technologists to contribute to a roundtable discussion on the urban-transforming potential of ecosystems, and how the FM profession can best contribute to realising it.
This is the second webinar in a three-part series which addresses the issues and challenges that emerged from the forum. Following on from part one in September, which considered the who, what and why of smart cities and digital twins, this second episode will address practical considerations and provide guidance for those seeking to unlock the potential offered by these ecosystems.
Join us to understand how to get started on the digital twin journey, in which we will both address technological considerations and FM operational change implications. Our expert panel will discuss how to embark on generating a digital twin, referencing information management frameworks and providing practical advice on building information models and leveraging reality capture technology to move towards data-driven operations.
The third and final part of this series will take place on Wednesday 30 November. Further details and booking information will be available soon.
