The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Virtual Networking Event connects businesses with government decision-makers, prime contractors and consultants, and local and regional business resources. This year, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) are delighted to provide this event virtually to allow DBEs safe distancing options while meeting and engaging with an extensive list of exhibitors.
The DBE Virtual Networking Event will provide an opportunity for DBEs to network at 1:1 (one-on-one) Tables, or Group Tables which allows as many as 6 people to connect at a table. DBEs will be able to schedule ten-minute networking sessions with exhibitors from 9:30 am - 12:00 pm EST. DBE Partnership and Social Spot spaces are available for DBEs to connect with other DBEs to discuss potential partnership opportunities on future projects. From 12:15 pm - 1 pm, DBEs will be able to participate in unscheduled and untimed networking sessions to speak with exhibitors they did not get to see or circle back to an exhibitor from earlier.
