Where we stand — trade fairs, research, press.
We are at every BAU in Munich, at digitalBAU, at BIM World, and in research projects with universities. Here is what has come of it.
Where can you meet Open Experience?
Open Experience is a regular presence at the construction industry's leading trade fairs — at BAU in Munich since 2015, at digitalBAU in Cologne, and at BIM World MUNICH — plus industry conferences with our own talks, including on DIGIBAU 360 and the use of AI on the construction site. If you don't want to wait for a trade fair: a free webinar runs every two weeks, and a personal demo is available at any time.
