WHY ATTEND THE 2023 EXPO

Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and partner agencies will be holding the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Small Business Transportation EXPO on Wednesday, May 3, 2023. This event is back in-person this year and will allow attendees to learn about project opportunities, network with industry professionals and business owners and hear from transportation leaders including: ADOT, MCDOT, the City of Phoenix Public Transit and Street Transportation departments, Valley Metro, and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport

Winning contracts requires more than qualifications; it requires networking and improving visibility. With this event being in person again this year, opportunities to build new relationships, make sales pitches, learn of future projects, and connections will abound at the 2023 ADOT DBE & Small Business Transportation Expo on Wednesday, May 3.

Participants can chat with leaders from government agencies and other hiring companies in the transportation industry and hear about upcoming projects at ADOT, City of Phoenix Streets Transportation Department, Sky Harbor International Airport and Valley Metro. Primes can establish new DBE, SBE and SBC connections.

What can I expect to get out of attending this event?
