Welcome to CONVR 2023

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the 23rd International Conference on Construction Applications of Virtual Reality (CONVR2023) will be held in Florence, Italy, from 13th to 16th November 2023. The event will be hosted by the University of Florence and will be opened in a unique heritage and historical venue.

The overarching theme for CONVR2023 is “Managing the digital transformation of the construction industry”, and we welcome paper submissions on a broad range of topics, including VR/AR, BIM and digital twins, IoT, artificial intelligence, construction automation and sustainability.

CONVR is one of the world-leading conferences on virtual reality, augmented reality and BIM. Each year, more than 100 participants from all around the globe meet to share and discuss the latest developments and applications of digital technologies in the architectural, engineering, construction and operation (AECO) domains. The conference is also known for having a unique blend of participants from both academia and industry. This year, we have world-leading keynote speakers and research groups from industry and academia covering up-to-date hot topics and are enthusiastic and keen to share their knowledge with you.

CONVR participants are very loyal to the conference and have attended most editions over the last twenty-two editions. This year, we welcome numerous first-timers, and we aim to help them make the most of the conference by introducing them to other participants.

Finally, our role on the committee is to bring and discuss the innovations, best practices, opportunities and challenges experienced by AECO practitioners to the fore, with the aim of ensuring all participants leave the conference feeling knowledgeable, inspired and full of new ideas and with many new friends! We look forward to seeing you in Florence in November 2023!

Yours faithfully,

Prof. Pietro Capone
Chair, CONVR2023
