With the increased use of design-build project delivery and the increased recognition of DBIA® certified professionals, the professional conduct of DBIA members and credential holders, is more important than ever.

Privacy Laws

DBIA complies with applicable privacy laws in collecting and processing attendee data. Our conference platform includes a robust networking function, which allows all registered participants to find and connect with each other through the conference platform. Basic information that an attendee shares during registration will be used to create their profile and access on the conference platform.

By engaging with exhibitors and sponsor content, registrants are consenting to exhibiting and sponsoring companies having access to the personal data that is public in their profile. They may also be contacted through the conference platform only, by other registrants including attendees and speakers looking to connect with other attendees.
