Built for the Journey: The 2027 DBIA-SW Call for Presentations Is Open!
Updated: 3 hours ago
The DBIA Southwest Region is now accepting presentation proposals for the 2027 Regional Conference, April 13-14, 2027, at Tapatio Springs Hill Country Resort in Boerne, Texas (near San Antonio).
This year's theme is Built for the Journey | Turning Strategy into Successful Delivery.
– Depth over breadth –
For 2027 we're going deep. We want sessions built on real projects that show attendees the decisions that mattered most, how the Owner and project team approached them, what the team learned, and what attendees can apply to their own work. Candid lessons, specific metrics, and honest course corrections will help your proposal stand out.
The 2027 Call for Presentations Guidelines cover everything you need to build a competitive proposal.
