As the only national event dedicated exclusively to design-build in the water and wastewater sector, this conference brings together Owners, engineers, construction managers, and industry leaders for three days of insights, collaboration, and forward-looking discussion.
You can find Team CIPO exhibiting at Booth #724.
Why This Conference Matters
Hosted by the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA), the Design-Build for Water/Wastewater Conference is known for delivering practical, sector-specific insights that directly impact how projects are procured and delivered.
This year’s program includes:
- Opening Keynote: Anirban Basu, Chairman and CEO of Sage Policy Group, providing a data-driven economic outlook shaping the year ahead.
- New Research on Progressive Design-Build: Exclusive findings from a first-of-its-kind study influencing how teams manage risk, insurance, and performance.
- Project Reviews & Industry Exchange: Agencies sharing upcoming project pipelines, procurement timelines, and delivery strategies.
- Four Education Tracks: Focused sessions on emerging trends, best practices, and real-world lessons learned.
- Expanded Expo Hall Hours: More dedicated time to explore solutions and connect directly with partners.
With Owners and practitioners from across the country in attendance, it’s one of the most impactful networking opportunities in the water infrastructure space.
Supporting Design-Build Delivery with Smarter Workflows
Design-build and progressive delivery models demand tighter collaboration, clearer documentation, and stronger real-time visibility across teams. As water agencies and design-build teams adopt more integrated approaches, the need for standardized workflows and centralized data becomes even more critical.
CIPO (Continuous Improvement Program Office) is a project and program management platform built for Owners and construction partners managing complex capital programs.
We help teams:
- Standardize project controls and approvals across design-build phases
- Centralize documentation and communication in one secure system
- Improve visibility across portfolios and stakeholders
- Reduce manual effort through intelligent automation
- Strengthen governance without slowing down delivery
For agencies and partners navigating progressive design-build, CIPO provides the structure and transparency needed to manage risk, maintain alignment, and keep projects moving efficiently from concept through construction.
