On November 2, 2018, DGS hosted a “speed-dating” networking session for Architectural-Engineering (A-E) Professional Services firms that are DC Certified Business Enterprises (CBEs). The purpose of the event was to help DGS staff and A-E CBE firms become better acquainted. The event provided an opportunity for A-E CBE firms to market their services to a wide DGS audience and for DGS staff to increase their knowledge of A-E CBE firms.
