Now is Your Opportunity to Share Your Design-Build Expertise
Design-build isn’t just growing, it’s redefining how our industry delivers. With nearly half of all U.S. construction spending projected to use design-build by 2028, the conversations shaping its future matter more than ever.
This November, the Design-Build Conference & Expo heads to Cleveland — a hidden gem of a city built for collaboration and innovation — and we’re looking for design-build professionals ready to share real-world insights, hard-earned lessons and forward-thinking strategies that optimize Design-Build Done Right®.
Do you have a story that challenges assumptions? Proven approaches that drive better project outcomes for Owners, teams and communities? Lessons learned that others can build on? We are now accepting presentation proposals until Tuesday, April 21, 2026.
We’re especially seeking panels that reflect the full strength of our industry, including diverse perspectives across disciplines, roles, market sectors and experience levels. Trade partners, in particular, bring critical insight to project success and are strongly encouraged to submit or participate as panelists.
We’re also seeking subject matter experts to help shape our half-day Virtual Design & Construction Leadership Exchange (VDCLEx) on Nov. 3, featuring dedicated tracks for both experienced VDC professionals and those newer to the space.
Each year, thousands of leaders from across architecture, engineering and construction come together for this event — not just to learn, but to move the industry forward. This is your opportunity to be part of that momentum.
Review submission guidelines for the Annual Conference and VDCLEx and submit your proposals today.
