Zoom Registration

Since 2004, the Alaska DOT&PF Civil Rights Office has been hosting an annual conference specifically designed for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Firms, Airport Concession DBEs, Subcontractors, Prime Contractors, and other relevant entities. Throughout the years, the conference has explored diverse topics, themes, and featured speakers from both Alaska and out of state.

The conference's primary aim is to elucidate the process of conducting business with local, state, and federal agencies. Participants also have the opportunity to enhance their skills through workshops, networking sessions, and engaging in dialogues with industry subject matter experts.

This conference is open to all attendees free of charge.

You're invited to DBE & Prime Contractors Matchmaking Event!

Join us for an engaging evening designed to connect Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) firms with Prime Contractors ahead of the upcoming construction season. This event offers a unique opportunity to meet face-to-face, foster new partnerships, and strengthen existing relationships in a collaborative and welcoming environment.

For DBE firms, this is your chance to network directly with primes, ask questions about the bidding process, and gain insights to better position your business for upcoming projects. It's especially valuable for new DBE firms looking to make their mark and build critical industry connections.

Prime contractors, don't miss this opportunity to fulfill good faith efforts, meet emerging players in the field, and engage in meaningful conversations that often get overlooked in email exchanges. We encourage you to bring project managers and anyone involved in the bidding process to maximize your experience.

Everyone is welcome to bring multiple representatives from your organizations. Enjoy delicious food and beverages while making connections that will pave the way for a successful construction season.
