"This was my first buildingSMART summit, and my first visit to Oslo. The city, the venue, the transportation and the food were all superb. However, I had some excellent conversations and met some wonderful people, and that for me was the real draw. 10/10 would travel 6000 miles to attend a summit again!"<div><br /></div>

With multiple thematic tracks you can pick and choose what sessions you want to join and create your own schedule.
