WebEd: Collaboration, Communication and Technology

In a special presentation for the AGC on June 9th, IMAGINiT's collaboration expert will discuss:

*Workflows and tools available to enhance project communication
*Best practices for incorporating data into the next step in design, construction and handover
*Tools to collect and sort through data on a complicated model or project
*Communication 'gotchas' to watch for
