Forge valuable partnerships and drive your business forward at REACH The Contractor Collective, a high-impact speed networking event designed to connect Small & Emerging Businesses (SEBs) with key representatives from large General Contractors (GCs).

This structured, two-hour session eliminates the typical networking guesswork — giving SEB participants direct access to GCs actively looking to diversify their subcontractor base, discover new capabilities, and strengthen local supplier networks.

What to Expect

• Targeted Networking: Rotate through multiple one-on-one meetings with GC representatives.
• Meaningful Connections: Build relationships with industry leaders, project managers, and supplier       diversity professionals.
• Real Opportunities: Learn about upcoming projects, contracting needs, and partnership requirements.
• Efficient Format: Make valuable connections in a short amount of time — from introduction to opportunity.

Sponsorship Opportunity for GCs

General Contractors are invited to support this event through a $250 sponsorship, helping ensure this critical networking platform remains accessible to the small business community. Sponsoring GCs will receive special recognition during the event and in post-event promotions.

Whether you’re a small business ready to grow your contracting pipeline or a GC seeking reliable, diverse partners — this event is your opportunity to build relationships that matter.
