DCAMM, the Designer Selection Board, and the Supplier Diversity Office invite you and/or representatives of your firm to the 2025 Designer Connection Event on October 28, 2025.

This event will bring together prime firms, subconsultants, SDO-certified firms, and emerging and small firms to build new partnerships for public building projects. Our goal is to help you connect with future collaborators, strengthen proposals, and expand opportunities for meaningful partnerships in state projects.

We last hosted a designer partnership event in 2021 with the BSA and BosNOMA. With 122 participants, it was a great success—and we’re excited to build on that momentum in 2025.
