Welcome from the Symposium Chair

In an ever changing and complex world, those without a digital strategy will fail. Our customers and stakeholders have increasing expectations for personalisation, speed and security of information sharing and high quality services that demonstrate value for money.

The symposium is designed to simulate, energise and align thinking for asset intensive owners and operators to embrace value extraction from the digital representation of our physical world.

We will explore the art of the possible for those who seek to make it a reality. Topics covered include design and construction of our digital assets, the analytics and insights we can realise over the whole life cycle, the personal and professional capabilities we need in the industry and supply chain, and what practical steps you can take now to position for a better future.

This one day Symposium is jam packed full of digital infrastructure goodness for every asset intensive sector with 12 first class speakers sharing valuable insights. Bring an open mind and we will provide the brain food.

Best regards
Julian
