RTC Australasia 2012

The 2012 conference promises to be the best of these events yet, bringing a comprehensive range of presentations on all matters relating to Revit and BIM. This is a unique ‘for users, by users’ event, where experts and leaders in the field of BIM share their knowledge and exchange their insights.

With attendance up by 35% last year, to a record 460 attendees, RTC Australasia may sell out this year – just another reason to reserve your spot early! With limits on attendance numbers, each conference will continue to bring the relaxed and friendly RTC atmosphere to its attendees, with the innovative, thought-provoking and informative presentations that you have come to expect.

Come join RTC this year, and see why it is now firmly established as the leading Revit event worldwide.

RTC will, for the first time, come to the Novotel Northbeach, in Wollongong, just south of Sydney. This capacious venue allows us to continue to offer a wide range of subject matter and more choice for attendees. Relevance is assured!

Location
Wollongong is the 3rd largest City in NSW and only 1 hour south of Sydney Airport. Located just 80 kilometres south of Sydney on a narrow coastal strip bordered by the Royal National Park to the north, Lake Illawarra to the South, the Tasman Sea to the east and the Illawarra Escarpment to the West. Wollongong enjoys a magnificent natural environment from rainforests to spectacular sea cliffs and unspoilt beaches.

Transfers
RTC is offering complimentary coach transfers for attendees from Sydney Airport & Sydney CBD. This is a great opportunity to begin the community networking or sit back and enjoy the coastal views. Please refer to the RTC website for transfer times.

Principals' Day
The Principals' Day is a one day stream exclusively for Principals, at a low price. It is targeted for those who are investigating BIM and Revit, those who have started their implementation, and those interested in the financial and quality benefits that come from using BIM processes well. It deals with the powerful new collaboration techniques facilitated by BIM, and emerging industry standards, protocols and workflows. Don't be left behind in this industry transformation!

Hands on Lab sessions
Hands on labs will provide a deeper understanding of some more complex parts of Revit. Hurry, space is limited so book early to ensure your place in the labs.

Partner’s Package
Bring your partner, or the whole family for some R & R. With the hotel located right behind the beach, enjoy the facilities of the hotel, and the leisure and sightseeing options of the Illawarra Coast. You come to the conference & the family gets a holiday! Partner’s packages are available for attendance to the social events…kids are welcome too!

New This Year - RTC VisDay

The inaugural RTC Visualisation Day is an adjunct to the Revit Technology Conference, dedicated to best-of-breed visualisation technologies and methodologies. It will be held immediately preceding RTC 2012 Australasia on Wednesday (23 May 2012). It recognises the unique attributes of visualisation as a process, and the skills of those in the industry. We are proud to have secured some industry heavyweights to share their knowledge and to support an open dialogue in an intimate environment - similar to established RTC events generally. Come and learn from some of the industry's best, from Australasia and abroad.

During the day, we'll hear from world-class speakers on a variety of types of visualisation, including:

• Immersive
• Interactive
• Live-Action Compositing
• Integrated
• Iterative

Numbers are limited, so don't miss out! Special discounts on registration fees are available to those also registering for RTC 2012 Australasia

Who should attend?

Architects, CG Artists, Studio Leaders, Design Directors, Students, Building Owners, Developers, Graphic Designers, Marketing Managers, Real Estate Agents, Application Developers, Creative Directors, CTOs and CIOs.

Please note: These instructional lectures are fast paced and not for visualisation ‘newbies’, and computers are not provided (though attendees can bring their own as the datasets and trial installations will be available for download prior to the event).

RTC North America

RTC 2012 North America will be held at the Evergreen Marriott Conference Resort in Stone Mountain, Georgia from 28 – 30 June 2012. The Resort was selected for its beauty, seclusion and services. Nearly every window offers views of Stone Mountain Park and many of the Stone Mountain itself. The size of the venue means it will be intimate and most likely we will have the entire place to ourselves!
