Making your Travel PlansWhen Should You Arrive?

For Owners, arrive in time for a full day of Owner-specific education start-ing at 8:00am on Tuesday, November 6th. Owners can take advantage of two half-day sessions focused on design-build essentials and develop-ing an acquisition strategy. An Owner-only networking lunch will be held between the two sessions. That evening a networking reception for all attendees will kick-off the official conference activities.

For Industry Practitioners, arrive in time for the 5:00pm networking reception on Tuesday, November 6th. The next morning you’ll have an opportunity to choose between various market-sector roundtable discus-sions prior to the membership luncheon and opening keynote.

When Should You Depart?The excitement goes right up until the end. Our closing general session ends on Friday at 1:45pm. So, make sure your departing flight is in the late afternoon on November 9th as you won’t want to miss insights from a nationally renowned Forbes publisher and global futurist, economic leader, entrepreneur and author for a look at where our industry is heading. See page 4 for more details.

The green ticket indicates the event requires additional fees to attend.

GENERAL SESSION

25 Years of Design-Build: A Conversation with DBIA’s Founding FathersIn 1993, five A/E/C leaders met with a mission—expanding design-build. Even they couldn’t have predicted the industry would be where it is today. Design-build is no longer an “alternative” delivery method and the associa-tion they created is leading our industry to new heights. This distinguished panel including Kraig G. Kreikemeier, DBIA; Richard M. Kunnath, R-DBIA, P.E.; Donald G. Warren, DBIA; Jim Gray, R-DBIA; and Preston H. Haskell, R-DBIA, P.E. reunite to talk about their vision for design-build—then, now and into the future.

Friday, November 9

GENERAL SESSION

CLOSING KEYNOTE

Why Culture, Teams & People are Tomorrow’s Killer AppsRich KarlgaardForbes Publisher and Global Futurist

Artificial intelligence and the “Internet of Things,” drones and driverless cars, global smartphone ubiquity and social commerce—the storm of technologi-cal change never stops. What can smart companies do to “future proof” their businesses against such disruption? Rich Karlgaard, publisher and futurist of Forbes magazine and author of two best-selling books on high-per-formance companies, has identified culture, teamwork and people as the

“magic triangle” of sustainable competitive advantage in a fast-changing world. In this presentation, he will explain how great organizations put cul-ture and teamwork at the core of their operating principles.

Giving Back to the CommunityDBIA strongly believes that we have a social responsibility to make the world a better place. So, in each city we visit, we leave a little bit of our-selves by adopting a charity. This year we have chosen Second Harvest Food Bank, a non-profit organization that is leading the fight against hunger in South Louisiana. By simply adding $5.00 to your registration fee, you can help make a difference. 100% of your contribution will go to Second Harvest Food Bank http://no-hunger.org/
