Although some people may not know, the Phoenix BIMForum was put on by the Emerging Leaders subforum, a group I co-chair within the BIMForum along with Sarah Vekasy. Sarah’s help and leadership was instrumental, along with other members of the conference leadership team – Carl Roberts from Ballard Spahr LLP and Chris Fischer from Schuff Steel. David Epps from Holder gets an honorary mention, but Holder keeps David too busy!

Anyhow, it was a great event, from a fantastic Gensler presentation by Shawn Gehle and Ken Sanders on LA Live and the Shanghai Tower, to a blow-your-hair-back presentation from Jeff McGrew with Because We Can/10 Miles Wide… the entire event was a blast.

One item of note was on Wednesday (1/13) before the BIMForum, we hosted tours of some sophisticated trade contractors from around the Metro-Phoenix area. I organized this, so I’m a little hesitant to pass judgment on it, but if you float on over to Laura Handler’s blog, you’ll find some discussion there on it.

Without further ado, some eye candy…

The bar codes let schuff (and their customers) track their steel better than FedEx tracks a package.

    Very cool event. Everyone who went wouldn't have missed. Several who couldn't come sent their regrets-- especially after seeing the super rich content. Nice job indeed!!!!
