[October] Ready, Set, Build! — Let’s Talk Infrastructure Projects

Date and Time
Oct 14, 2026
2:30 pm—4:00 pm ET

💬 What is a Procurement Insights Roundtable? 💬 Community-powered conversations where PEN members come together to share experiences, exchange ideas, and move procurement forward!

Successful Infrastructure Projects Start with a Solid Foundation—Let’s Build It Together!

Every infrastructure project requires making key decisions at each project stage that shape what comes next. In this roundtable, we will zoom in on Design-Bid-Build (DBB) projects and the four stages through construction: 1) System Planning, 2) Project Development, 3) Project Design, and 4) Project Construction.

Getting the early stages of a DBB project right gives the project a much better shot at staying on time, on budget, and on track! But building that foundation is rarely simple, and project teams are navigating complex decisions long before a shovel ever hits the ground.

That’s why we’re bringing together infrastructure professionals in the PEN community for a roundtable discussion to share challenges, exchange ideas, and learn from each other! Join fellow PEN members for a dynamic 90-minute session, connecting with up to 50 peers to discuss some of the following themes:

  • Common challenges and roadblocks encountered across four stages of a typical Design-Bid-Build project
  • Peer advice on processes, tools, and best practices that keep projects moving forward
  • Lessons learned from navigating handoffs, setbacks, and key decisions across the project lifecycle
  • Any questions, ideas, or recommendations you want to share with your peers

Who Should Attend? If your role touches the planning, development, design, procurement, or construction of Design-Bid-Build infrastructure projects, please sign up!

Invite your colleagues and join the conversation. You won’t want to miss this session! SPACES ARE LIMITED. Registration closes after 50 participants sign up!
