2025 Design-Build Conference & Expo

Call for Presentations Open!

The Design-Build Conference & Expo is the largest national gathering of the year for the design-build market and the only event centered exclusively on design-build. This event provides unparalleled access to meet decision makers and network with all members of project teams, including general contractors, architects, engineers, attorneys and finance professionals.

We’re headed to Las Vegas this November and we’re looking for design-build professionals to contribute to our conference programming.

Do you have insight on ways to optimize Design-Build Done Right® for triple bottom line success? Do you have a design-build story to tell or lessons learned that you can share with the industry? We are seeking cutting-edge, relevant topic proposals by seasoned presenters with demonstrated subject matter expertise for our Annual Conference taking place Nov. 5-7.

We are also seeking subject matter experts to help build the content for our half-day preconference Virtual Design & Construction Leadership Exchange (VDCLEx) on Tuesday, Nov. 4. The VDCLEx will feature two specialized tracks: one for experienced VDC professionals and one for non-VDC professionals.
