This year I reached another milestone: Presenting at my 20th RTC / BILT Conference on various Revit topics. At several of the conferences I did multiple presentations, so the actual total is more than 20.
For the record, here is a list of :
RTC & BILT conferences over the years:
RTC (Revit Technology Conference) grew out the Sydney Revit user group, started by Wesley Benn. The first conference was organised by RUGS (Revit User Group, Sydney - the longest running Revit user group in the world). As the conferences went from strength to strength, they were run by a company RTC Events, which has now morphed into DBEI (Digital Built Environment Institute).
