In keeping with the global impact of Professor Eastman’s work, the individual sessions were chaired by experts from around the world.
The symposium was anchored by two real-time networking sessions, where Chuck’s friends and family gathered. The symposium included two keynote lectures from Eastman’s closest colleagues and 14 academic paper sessions focused on research topics initiated and championed by Chuck over his 55-year research career.
And, to acknowledge his impact on the practices of design and construction, two industry panel discussions focused on the impacts BIM and related technologies have had on the AEC industry.
