Annual Conference









INNOVATE


ELEVATE


ACCELERATE



This year’s DBIA Florida Conference is all about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in design-build. As we embrace innovation, we’re shaping the next generation of design-build delivery, integrating cutting-edge technology, and redefining industry best practices. Together, we’ll elevate our projects, teams, and partnerships—setting new standards for efficiency, quality, and performance. And with the momentum of progressive design-build, we’ll accelerate the future of infrastructure, transforming communities and driving success across Florida and beyond.






This is the only event in Florida created by and for the rapidly growing design-build industry. Design-build is the future and Florida Design-Build 2025 is the perfect place for newbies and pros alike to get the latest on important design-build trends and topics. Meet decision makers and network with all members of project teams including contractors, architects, engineers, MEPs, attorneys and public and private Owners.


REGISTRATION INFORMATION












Owner Scholarships 

Owners are a important member of the design-build team. A well-informed Owner can set the stage for a successful project from procurement through execution. There is a mental shift with design-build projects. 

If funding is an issue, we encourage Owners to apply for scholarships to help offset registration fees and hotel costs. Scholarships will be issued as funds allow. Please apply to the Louis J. Martinez Owner Scholarship Program.
