It was formerly known as the ‘Year in Infrastructure’ Awards. This global awards program, judged by independent juries of industry experts, recognizes infrastructure projects for digital innovations that improve project delivery and/or asset performance.
Users of Bentley software are invited to nominate their projects in the Going Digital Awards program, no matter which phase the project is in – planning/conception, design, construction, or operations. The three finalists chosen for each award category will get a global platform to present their projects before the judges, industry thought leaders, and media members. Every project nominated for an award receives recognition across the global infrastructure community.
The Going Digital Awards are an integral part of Bentley’s annual Year in Infrastructure Conference. The conference brings together infrastructure professionals and industry thought leaders from around the world to share best practices and learn about the latest advances in technology that will improve infrastructure project delivery and asset performance. Winners will be announced during the awards ceremony at the culmination of the conference.
