Key Takeaways
  1. Google + Cesium bring photoreal 3D context into Bentley workflows for real-world decisions.
  2. Open 3D Tiles standards prevent lock-in and let massive geospatial data stream smoothly.
  3. Digital twins enable faster stakeholder alignment—showing impacts now, not years after construction.

This week in Vancouver, Bentley Systems celebrates the 20th Year in Infrastructure and Going Digital Awards—often called the “Oscars of Infrastructure.” Over 300  attendees from around the world have gathered here to explore how tech like AI and digital twins are pushing the boundaries of what we can build. From generative AI demos to real-world case studies, the event spotlights innovations making infrastructure more resilient and sustainable—on land, at sea, and underground. Check out the key highlights from Day 1 in this video.
