Kapow! Atop Scenic Hotel,
BW Celebrates Birthday, thanks Backers

by TODD STOLARSKI | Aug 13, 2015

On August 3rd, atop the recently opened sky deck at the Virgin Hotel, BuiltWorlds held its first party among a throng of supporters. Their sunlit patio played the perfect setting to usher in our second year surrounded by the stunning skyscrapers of downtown Chicago. 

BW shared hors d'œuvres, cocktails, and stories from our first exciting year alongside other thought leaders actively changing the game within the built environment. Members representing PlanGrid, Zebra Technologies, and Patrick Engineering...among others were in attendance.

In lieu of sending us your birthday gift, we request that you check out the pics from our party in the gallery below.
