About the Event
"openBIM: Built on Tradition, Shaping the Future"
The next buildingSMART International Summit will take place in Tokyo from Tuesday 6th – Thursday 8th October 2026, featuring the best of openBIM. Find out why openBIM workflows are at the core of interoperability for the built environment and why collaboration is inspiring a new wave of opportunity for the industry.
The buildingSMART International Summit brings together professionals from across the built environment - including architects, engineers, construction and project managers, BIM specialists, software vendors and developers, consultants, contractors, product manufacturers, asset owners, policymakers, researchers, students, and sustainability advocates, and more.
Whether you are new to the field or an experienced industry professional, this summit provides invaluable opportunities to learn, exchange knowledge, and build meaningful international connections. Join us in Tokyo, where together we will:
Advance openBIM and Digital Interoperability
Bring together international professionals and experts to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices in open digital workflows, interoperability, and standards development for the built environment.
Shape the Future of Digital Transformation
Provide a forum where thought leaders, technology developers, policymakers, and practitioners discuss emerging trends, challenges, and solutions that will shape how data and digital processes are used across project lifecycles.
Educate and Connect the Industry
Enable attendees to learn about the latest openBIM solutions, connect with peers from around the world, and build professional networks that support the adoption of interoperable digital practices in their organisations.
Support Collaboration on Standards and Practical Use Cases
Through sessions, workshops, and breakout discussions, the summit fosters collaborative work on open standards like IFC, IDS, BCF, and more, and encourages participants to contribute to real-world implementations and future developments.
