Bentley Systems, Incorporated, a leading global provider of comprehensive software solutions for advancing infrastructure announced that The Year in Infrastructure 2017 Conference will be held Oct. 10-12 in Singapore. The conference will take place at Sands Expo and Convention Centre at Marina Bay Sands, a world-class hotel and conference facility, and one of the most iconic buildings in Asia. The Singapore location brings the conference to a city recognized globally for its innovation in infrastructure and for the first time to Asia.

Greg Bentley, CEO, Bentley Systems, said, “I have long admired Singapore for its innovative use of technology in the delivery and operation of infrastructure, and now it is leading the world with its BIM advancements. In 2015, Singapore was designated the most ‘Tech-Ready Nation’ by The World Economic Forum’s Global Information Technology Report. In addition to Marina Bay Sands’ unrivaled conferencing facilities and luxurious accommodations is its spectacular structural design and engineering. We are proud to note that this extraordinary building was structurally engineered using Bentley Systems software.”

Bentley Systems has contributed to the advancement of infrastructure in Southeast Asia over the years through many projects. Most recently, Singapore’s Mass Rapid Transit has selected Bentley’s Optram software to model, analyze, and provide decision support for the maintenance of the MRT track assets.
Jeannie Lim, executive director, conventions, meetings, and incentive travel, Singapore Exhibition & Convention Bureau, said, “We are delighted to welcome Bentley Systems’ Year in Infrastructure Conference to Singapore in 2017, and we are honored to host it for the first time in Asia. Similar to Bentley Systems using software to advance infrastructure, Singapore is also gearing up to be a ‘Smart Nation’ by harnessing technology to empower citizens and further strengthen our economy. We wish the conference success, and hope that participants will have the opportunity to experience some of Singapore’s many unique attractions.”
