Nima seeks industry community input to shape December 2026 conference

To help it shape its next one-day online conference – set to take place on Thursday 3 December 2026 – nima is surveying members of its community from across the built and managed environment sector. The short survey asks respondents to share where information management is working well, and where it consistently breaks down.

Nima chair Anne Kemp says:

“We want the agenda for our next conference to be set by our industry community. The themes that emerge from this survey will shape the structure and content of the conference. We will then come together to discuss the issues raised and propose practical solutions, next steps, and actions the sector can take forward. The conference outcomes will help nima prioritise areas of focus going forward, supporting industry use of digital information that is valuable, efficient, and trustworthy.

Who should respond?

“This survey only works if it reflects the views of the whole built environment community. While we want to hear from experienced information managers and others already working on the digital side of the industry, we also want to hear from those with less experience of digital working across the whole-life of built and natural assets. Wider perspectives on where information gets lost or misunderstood are just as valuable – but are often overlooked.

“Whatever your role in the built and managed environment, from strategy and investment through to day-to-day operation, your response matters.”

Further details of the online conference will be shared shortly, including how organisations can get involved as event sponsors. As the programme is firmed up in light of the survey responses, nima will also be seeking relevant speakers or discussion panellists. And delegate registration for the event will open in early-mid October.

Participate in the nima survey (online, opens in new window). It should only take around five minutes to complete and is completely anonymous.
