IDOT Roundtable & Networking Event- District 7

The Illinois Department of Transportation is launching the annual Building Blocks Series and this year will be hosting in person district events designed to bring together agency representatives,, prime contractors, DBE firms and Supportive Service Consultants for a networking and educational experience. This event serves as the foundation for a series of workshops that will equip participants with the knowledge, tools, and connections necessary to succeed in IDOT contracting.

Attendees will gain insight into upcoming opportunities with IDOT, strengthen relationships through engagement and networking, and learn from a panel that will highlight best practices, share stories of success, and pathways for growth.

By connecting diverse stakeholders in one space, this event creates a platform for collaboration, mentorship, and partnership—ensuring that every participant leaves with stronger connections, actionable knowledge, and a clearer vision of how to thrive in IDOT projects.
