38th ANNUAL DBE WORKSHOP AND NETWORKING SUMMIT
RECAP 2024
The 38th Annual DBE Workshop and Networking Summit, held for the first time at the Kalahari Convention Center in Wisconsin Dells, was a huge success. With 362 individuals registered and more than 50 first time businesses in attendance.
Agenda
From the online survey, networking is one of the top reasons for attending the Summit, with the workshops a close second. The Summit is also where industry stakeholders, including WisDOT staff, come together to recognize outstanding participants of the Mentor Protégé Program and to honor exemplary efforts of the Golden Shovel Award.
