Don't miss the largest national gathering of the year for the design-build market and the only event centered exclusively on design-build. The Design-Build Conference & Expo, taking place at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, Texas, provides unparalleled access to meet decision makers and network with all members of project teams, including general contractors, architects, engineers, attorneys and finance professionals.
There are so many reasons to join us, but here are 5 to get you started:
1) Special preconference events on Nov. 5 —
The Virtual Design & Construction Leadership Exchange (VDCLEx) returns as a half-day preconference event for both experienced VDC professionals and those new to VDC. We’re also offering "Leadership: Building a Strong Foundation," the foundational course in the new Collaborative Delivery Leadership Academy that explores the crucial competencies for effective Design-Build Done Right® Leadership (additional fees apply).
2) Three days of packed programming —
With 30+ sessions offering more than 14 Continuing Education Hours (CEHs) in five distinct tracks and timely and targeted Design-Build Done Right® resources, there’s something for every member of a design-build team.
3) Networking, networking, networking! —
Build or rebuild connections during special forums, receptions and exclusive exhibit hall hours, including targeted opportunities for young professionals.
4) Inspiring speakers —
We're bookending your conference experience with two dynamic and engaging speakers! High-performance and personal development expert Alex Banayan will energize you at our Opening Keynote and change navigator and leading futurist April Rinne will empower you with a deeper dive on developing the right change mindset. These two compelling sessions will provide a comprehensive toolkit for resilience, growth and navigating change.
5) Fun! —
Yes, conferences can be fun, too! We’re in Texas so get ready for some western-themed entertainment at our Wednesday night Opening Party at the historic Longhorn Ballroom where we'll have dancing, music, games and plenty of food and drinks (additional fees apply).
