    Why a planned route matters at BIM World Munich

    BIM World Munich runs 24 to 25 November 2026 at the ICM, International Congress Center Messe München, one of Europe's larger congress venues. The show concentrates two days of product demonstrations, conference sessions, and networking into a space where the programme competes directly with floor time, making it easy to spend the morning in talks and arrive at the exhibition hall with too little time to evaluate vendors properly.

    The five companies in this Shared Spotlight, Autodesk GmbH, Nemetschek Group, Bentley Systems, Trimble Inc., and Siemens AG, collectively cover every phase of the AEC/O lifecycle from early design through live asset operations. Taken together they represent a coherent first-day route for any buyer whose responsibilities touch BIM authoring, open data exchange, infrastructure delivery, field coordination, or facility performance, and they are concentrated in or near the Foyer level, reducing unnecessary cross-hall travel.

    Why these exhibitors

    Five stands that span the full AEC/O lifecycle

    This set was assembled because the five companies address distinct but adjacent buyer jobs that often belong to the same procurement cycle. Autodesk GmbH serves architects, engineers, and contractors evaluating connected BIM-to-field platforms. Nemetschek Group is relevant to any team assessing a multi-brand open BIM ecosystem from design through facility management. Bentley Systems addresses infrastructure owner-operators and civil engineers working on roads, rail, water, and energy networks. Trimble Inc. targets structural engineers, VDC managers, and contractors trying to close the gap between reality capture and office-based BIM collaboration. Siemens AG, through its Building X platform, speaks to BIM managers, facility directors, and real estate portfolio owners connecting design-phase data to live operations and ESG reporting. No single vendor covers all of these jobs, which is precisely why walking all five in sequence gives a buyer a more complete picture of the current market than any single demonstration can.

    How to use this Shared Spotlight

    1. Download the floor plan before you arrive ICM's Foyer level is the primary exhibition space at BIM World Munich. Pull the official floor plan from bim-world.de the evening before so you can locate confirmed stand numbers, including Autodesk GmbH at Foyer Stand 1 and Nemetschek Group at Booth 9 on the Ground Floor, before you reach the venue.
    2. Anchor your morning around confirmed booth positions Start at stands with published locations. Autodesk GmbH (Foyer, Stand 1) and Nemetschek Group (Booth 9, Ground Floor) have confirmed positions. Use those as fixed anchors and ask the information desk on arrival for the floor positions of Bentley Systems, Trimble Inc., and Siemens AG.
    3. Match each stop to your buyer job Each exhibitor card in this guide includes a priority signal describing the specific role or evaluation task the stand serves best. Read those signals before walking the floor so you can decide in advance which demonstrations to request and which to skip.
    4. Reserve time for a second pass Conference sessions at BIM World Munich run concurrently with exhibit hours. If a session pulls you off the floor, use the route order in this guide to resume where you left off rather than retracing your steps from the beginning.

    Floor-planning tip Block 30 minutes per stand in your calendar for Day 1, starting at 09:30, so you can complete all five visits before the midday conference keynotes draw crowds back into the hall in the afternoon.

    TL;DR

    5 stops worth planning

    Suggested floor route

    A loop that keeps backtracking to a minimum

    Beginning at Autodesk GmbH in the Foyer and moving to Nemetschek Group on the Ground Floor before locating Bentley Systems, Trimble Inc., and Siemens AG keeps the walk broadly linear across the ICM's connected levels rather than requiring repeated trips between opposite ends of the building.

    Before you leave the hall

    Capture notes while the demonstrations are fresh

    At a two-day show like BIM World Munich, the gap between a morning demonstration and an afternoon debrief is long enough for details to blur. After each stop, note the specific product version, the integration point that was demonstrated, and the name of the contact who ran the session. Those three data points are enough to reconstruct a meaningful comparison when you return to the office.

    Frequently asked questions

    Planning this BIM World Munich route

    When and where is BIM World Munich 2026?

    BIM World Munich 2026 runs 24 to 25 November at the ICM, International Congress Center Messe München, in Munich, Germany.

    Which halls or areas should visitors prioritize for the exhibitors in this guide?

    The Foyer level is the primary exhibition area confirmed for this event. Autodesk GmbH is at Foyer Stand 1 and Nemetschek Group is at Booth 9 on the Ground Floor. Stand locations for Bentley Systems, Trimble Inc., and Siemens AG were not confirmed at time of publication, so visitors should check the official floor plan at bim-world.de or ask at the information desk on arrival.

    Who is this Shared Spotlight guide written for?

    This guide is written for buyers, procurement leads, and technical evaluators working in architecture, engineering, construction, infrastructure delivery, or facility management who want to make deliberate use of limited floor time rather than walking the hall without a plan.

    How can visitors reach the five exhibitors before the show?

    Each exhibitor card in this guide includes contact and profile information. Visitors can also search the official exhibitor directory at bim-world.de to request meetings or pre-register for product demonstrations before the event opens.

    Are these the only exhibitors worth visiting at BIM World Munich?

    No. This Shared Spotlight covers five companies that purchased placement in this guide. BIM World Munich features a much larger exhibitor floor. This route is a starting point for a structured first-day visit, not a comprehensive ranking of every vendor at the show.
