Smart Construction Digital Meetup: August 5, 2021

Update 8/16/21: This event has ended. Watch the recording.

We’re organizing another free virtual event for those interested in geospatial technology for AEC! 

Now that The Smart Construction Dashboard has been released in North America, companies across the country are using the platform to visualize, analyze, and monitor the status of their construction sites in near-real time. 

We’re bringing experts from Cesium, Komatsu, and Hunzinger Construction together to discuss how 3D geospatial software for construction is being built and how it’s being used and tested in the field. 

The event will be hosted virtually by our friends at Geoawesomeness on Thursday, August 5th 2021 at 1 pm ET.
