- Day 1February 22, 2022
08:00 - 09:00
Main conference registration and morning refreshments
DIGITAL PARTNERSHIP ROADMAP
08:55 - 09:00
Chair’s welcome
09:00 - 09:25
KEYNOTE - Digital visions for business frameworks that support the cognitive digital twin
Knowing the technology end game helps in building digital frameworks today. This presentation provides a vision of the future based around AI/ML, cognitive digital twins & radical digital transformation. We also reflect upon what it means to be digital twin enabled.
09:50 - 10:30
EXPERT BRIEFING AUSTRALIA - They’re just fancy BIM models, aren’t they? Evolving your existing digital design solutions to incorporate connected customers and the twin framework
Asset owners are realising that a coordinated approach is needed to deliver the required change in asset performance and efficiency. They want access to asset data held by their AEC partners. We consider the practical issues involved to make this happen and what kinds of customers are supportive of twinning frameworks. This session will bring you up to speed on digital twin strategy.
Panellists include:Moderated by:DIGITAL TWIN ECOSYSTEMS
11:00 - 11:20
KEYNOTE: Geospatial-powered smart cities - Breathing life into urban digital twins for a more sustainable world
11:20 - 11:45
Creating a uniquely crafted, robust Digital Twin that drives collaboration and unlocks vital insights across the asset lifecycle
We have honed our expertise building digital twins in the energy sector, where highly complex assets, soaring capital expenditure and lengthy operating phases demand a value-driven, full asset lifecycle approach. In this presentation we will share our approach and how we translated this know-how into the built environment, by focusing on ‘right-to-left thinking’ to reflect operational requirements into project delivery – building the operating digital twin alongside the physical asset
11:45 - 12:30
Panel: Spatial digital twins – Spatial digital twins – Forging digital partnerships to support sustainable cities and communities
Spatial digital twin proof-of-concepts are being rolled out in APAC cities. The developers imagine a series of connected urban digital twins sharing data to boost infrastructure performance on issues including climate change. Our panel gives us an insight on how the system will work and will speculate on the impact of 5G.
Panellists include:Moderated by:12:30 - 13:40
Networking lunch and exhibition viewing
COLLABORATION STRATEGIES
13:40 - 14:00
Bringing project data together from its many sources, formats and phases to create a data-rich digital hub that tracks BIM asset data from design through operations
From design through construction, the project delivery lifecycle of buildings, facilities, bridges, and other physical structures creates an extraordinary amount of data. The data is often disorganized and left unused after handover to owners, developers and operators when the project is completed. And building owners want digital data at handover to get the most out of their investment, given nearly 80 percent of an asset’s lifetime value is realised in operations. In this session you’ll learn:
- How you can deliver a holistic and usable view of design and construction data as a digital twin for operations
- Why a single source of truth for operations will help reduce the total cost of ownership of projects, and help owners realise the value of BIM long after handover
NETWORKING ROUNDTABLE PANELS
CONNECTED ASSET PROGRAMS
16:40 - 17:10
Key lessons from the National Digital Twin Programme for the United Kingdom

17:10 - 17:50
Panel discussion – Digital twin transformation journeys – from a construction tool to a sustainable service platform and beyond
Behind the hype, and the data management challenges, digital twins offer real value to AECs and asset owners. In this panel, we explore what it means to use digital twins as a digital and business transformation strategy and what this new framework means for BIM practitioners.
Panellists include:Moderated by:17:50 - 17:50

Panel discussion – Innovation in the age of disruption - Bringing your business partner on the digital twin journey
The use of digital twins to inform decision making and reporting is a key competitive advantage. How do you advise partners, clients or colleagues to adopt this strategy to improve their management of asset information and their digital transformation requirements? What are their key objections towards the adoption of the strategy?
