Owners Forum
Date/Time TBD
The challenge before DBIA is to determine the most appropriate, effective and timely strategies to address the needs, facilitate the opportunities and minimize the obstacles faced by owners as they seek to understand and utilize the project delivery method most appropriate to their needs. At this forum you will have the opportunity to meet face-to-face with other owners experienced in all methods of project delivery. You and your peers will share your views, answer questions and discuss how DBIA can further support owner needs—without any pressure from those selling products and services.
Owners wishing to attend only the Forum may do so at no charge. However, registration is still required. For those wishing to attend the entire conference, limited complimentary registrations are available through our Owner Education Scholarship, or you may register at a substantially discounted rate.
| WHAT IS AN OWNER? Owners (as defined by DBIA) are the individuals who work for organizations that control the design and construction processes. They are defined as representatives of a government agency, academic institution, non-profit organization, private facility owner, etc. Owners decide what gets built, when it gets built and how it gets built. |
Owner Education Scholarship
The goal of these Funds is to advance the awareness, understanding and use of design-build among as many owners/government agencies as possible. Therefore, DBIA can not award scholarships to multiple individuals from the same agency unless funds are still available after all interested agency applications are reviewed.
Description of Funds:
- Owner Education Fund: Covers complimentary registration to the 2012 Design-Build Conference & Expo
- Owner Travel Fund: Used to offset all or a portion of an individual’s travel costs. Recipients may apply to have coach airfare and lodging for up to three nights covered.
The amount awarded is based on the number of applications received and fund availability. Applicants may apply for consideration multiple funds. However, DBIA cannot guarantee that all requests will be awarded.
Deadline & Applications: Monday, September 17
