Reimagining the Federal Design-Build Symposium
In response to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding federal funding and its impact on capital project planning, DBIA is reimagining our August Federal Design-Build Symposium with an exciting new format, Federal Sector Design-Build Industry Days, designed to support Federal agencies, agencies receiving federal funds and industry.
This refreshed format will create new opportunities for meaningful engagement between federal agencies and industry, offer insight into upcoming federal project solicitations, and deliver targeted education and case studies to improve project delivery outcomes.
We are currently restructuring our registration pricing to align with this new format. Be sure to check back on Thursday, April 24th when we launch registration and programming information.
