What was once the Federal Design-Build Symposium has been reimagined into a dynamic new experience: Federal Sector Design-Build Industry Days, taking place August 20–21, 2025, in Reston, Virginia.
This refreshed format is designed to meet today’s federal priorities of efficiency, cost savings, and effectiveness head-on. As the federal government continues to emphasize smarter project delivery and accountability, DBIA is responding with an event that offers targeted insights, real-world strategies, upcoming project opportunities, and meaningful agency engagement.

Upcoming Opportunities: Stay ahead with updates on new solicitations and federal trends shaping project delivery.
Real-World Success Stories: Learn from case studies at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the FBI showcasing how design-build is delivering tangible improvements in cost, schedule, and performance.
Deep-Dive Workshops: Participate in practical sessions, including an economic outlook from FMI CEO Chris Daum and strategies for repurposing and modernizing federal buildings.
Affordable Registration: Public and private Owners can attend for free, UBEs benefit from special discounted rates, and early bird pricing ensures accessibility for all attendees.
Networking that Matters: Build stronger, more collaborative relationships with federal agencies and industry peers.
"Our goal with Federal Sector Design-Build Industry Days is simple: create a program that reflects what our federal stakeholders need today,” said Lisa Washington, CAE, DBIA Executive Director/CEO. “That means more direct engagement, more clarity on upcoming projects, and a clear emphasis on how design-build supports current federal priorities.”
DBIA’s commitment to Design-Build Done Right® has never been stronger. By bringing federal agencies and industry together for open dialogue, practical learning, and real collaboration, this event promises to drive better outcomes for projects of every size and scope.
