buildingSMART International Standards Summit – Montreal 2022 OCT 18-21
2022-10-18 00:00 - 2022-10-21 23:59 (America/Toronto) | Ontario
From October 18th to October 21st, the international community of experts in BIM and digital transformation in the built asset industry will meet at the buildingSMART International Summit in Montreal, Quebec, Canada to address how to drive digital transformation to facilitate resilience in the built asset industry through international collaboration. Hosted by buildingSMART International, buildingSMART Canada & Groupe BIM du Quebec, and held for the first time since 2014 in North America, this international summit will hold several conferences, demonstrations,
and exhibitions.
REGISTER NOW
An anticipated 600 participants from around the world, across Canada and throughout Quebec will meet, exchange and develop on a number of subjects relating to open standards, openBIM® and the harmonization of processes and approaches for information modeling in the industries that design, build, construct and maintain built assets. The accelerating pace of digitalization provides an unprecedented opportunity to rethink how we design, deliver and maintain the built environment in the face of increasing pressures on our planet’s resources and the growing climate crisis. This urgency to act requires bold steps be taken to ensure the resiliency and sustainability of the built asset industry. Digital transformation can provide significant opportunities to address this crisis and allay these pressures.

International Fall School in Hydrographic Surveying
2022-10-25 00:00 - 2022-10-29 23:59 (America/Toronto) | Ontario
The crucial role of detailed knowledge of the seabed has never been so well highlighted as recently with the proclamation by the United Nations of the Decade of Ocean Sciences for Sustainable Development (2021 – 2030) or the Nippon Foundation – GEBCO Seabed 2030 project aiming at 100% of the seabed mapped worldwide by 2030. Such an intensification of hydrographic surveys brings new opportunities in terms of recruitment of Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP) as well as technological and methodological solutions.
Now in its second year, this international fall school provides participants with a unique multi-disciplinary training experience, involving close interaction with high-level scientists, professional and stakeholders from the hydrospatial and maritime fields in a cutting-edge technological context. Participants will have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and develop their competencies through courses, practical work, conferences and activities allowing them to live the experience of surveying on board a hydrographic vessel.
*Bilingual school (French and English) and offered in a hybrid mode (on campus at Université Laval and online).
This international fall school is part of the Canadian Ocean Mapping Research and Education Network (COMREN).

Webinar: WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 16TH, 2022 AT 2:00 PM EST
Aboriginal title is being asserted/recognized to many parcels across Canada, parcels that were never ceded by Indigenous peoples. This includes Crown land, watercourses, and freehold land.

This webinar first gives an update on the adoption of CGVD2013 across the country. Second, it explains the relation and transformation between CGVD2013 and the upcoming U.S. lead North American-Pacific Geopotential Datum of 2022 (NAPGD2022) in 2025. Finally, it presents prospects of CGVD2013, including enablers and barriers for its provincial adoption and recommendations to land surveyors in the determination of elevations.
