The annual CFTA conference provides a platform for networking with other universities as attendees share the same goals and challenges.  The presentations are top-notch and always spark new ideas about how I can solve problems or enhance operations within my own institution. 

The University of Texas at Austin is very excited for the opportunity to host CFTA’s 2019 annual conference as this allows us to showcase our university, strengthen our community bonds, further collaboration, and generate positivity and synergy. 

We welcome the opportunity to share the wonderful things about our campus and staff with the CFTA community.

Hook ‘em!

I really enjoy being part of the CFTA organization.  It’s a great opportunity to network with colleagues at other higher educational institutions and business partners at our annual conference.  In addition, we’re able to share knowledge about our achievements as well as barriers in the campus environment as it relates to BIM, GIS, space management, document management, etc.  The one thing that I can honestly say is the members of the CFTA organization genuinely want to help each other in this growing technological environment.

I was hooked on BIM after my first CFTA conference.  The inspiration, knowledge and visionary information presented at the annual conferences, laid the foundation and developed a road map for the University of Wisconsin - Madison’s BIM initiative.  CFTA is my go-to for all facilities related technology.
