DETAILS: The event will apprise attendees of PBC’s upcoming opportunities, including new and pending work, as well as create a “Connection Session” (speed dating concept) that encourages networking with Minority and Women Business Enterprise Firms, Subcontractors, Vendors, Suppliers, and Assist Agencies.
“By bringing together a diverse range of stakeholders, PBC aims to facilitate meaningful conversations and create avenues for fruitful collaborations,” Ray Giderof, PBC’s Executive Director said. “The expertise and perspective that will gather for this event plays a pivotal role in this unique opportunity for professionals to network, collaborate, discuss opportunities, and explore potential partnerships that can drive mutual success.”
During the ‘Connection Session’ representatives from PBC’s Pre-Qualified General Contractors and Pre-Approved JOC firms will have seven minutes to interact with a group of four attendees interested in learning more about their organization prior to a new group of four attendees rotating to their table. Representatives will be prepared to ask questions that encourage communication.
