    WHEN:  Wednesday, October 19, 2011
           5:30pm - 8:30pm

            With America's badly needed infrastructure overhaul, the
            Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Owner/Operator
            (AECO) industry must prepare now for new federal legislation
            that could potentially authorize more than $100 billion in
            increased infrastructure spending. Speakers at Microdesk's
            BuildingSuccess event will address these issues and how to
            apply BIM standards to meet the demand for improving New
            York City's infrastructure. Speakers at this event are
            responsible for more than 975,000 buildings in New York
            City, and a portfolio of more than $6 billion in
    WHY:    infrastructure projects.
