The new normal | Artificial intelligence in construction and real estate
The 9th edition of Grand Batimatech will be in a bright location at the Palais des congrès de Montréal and will have the theme “The New Normal| Artificial intelligence in construction and real estate”. This year, the bridge between the local and the international has diminished and that is why we are meeting among ourselves with our guests from Canada, Europe, Japan and the United States. You will become aware of the impact of the daily use of technologies in your construction and real estate companies.
By participating in the event, you will be able to understand the language and evolution of digital sciences (IT) in business performance and the need to properly prepare the next generation for its challenges. In this context, collaboration is essential between clients, developers, builders, specialized contractors and internal teams. It’s time to optimize your businesses by integrating digital solutions, so join us for a day and a half of conferences, panels, reflections, exchanges, speeding and leave ready to implement new practices in your organization!
