Greetings Conference Participants,
Welcome to the Virginia Department of Transportation and the Transportation DBE Advisory Committee’s 2025 DBE/SWaM Training Symposium, scheduled for September 9th-11th. This event presents a new opportunity to reignite your business!
This year’s theme, Ready, Resilient, and Reimagine: Empowering Businesses to Thrive, promises to deliver a powerful network and resources needed to propel your business to the next level. The program will be filled with dynamic speakers, educational tracks, interactive breakout sessions, and networking opportunities charged with a plethora of possibilities. We are in a time of economic shifts and infrastructure transformation, so you will learn how these changes could impact your business.
We invite you to join in this excitement! The Planning Committee, comprised of industry partners, is working diligently, so we invite you to engage with us along the way. Your feedback will foster an atmosphere of collaboration, innovation, and inspiration. Whether you are new to the transportation industry or already highly engaged, you will find value.
