DBIA NYC Metro Region Owners Forum – OWNERS ONLY (October 26, 2026)
As part of the NYC Metro Sub-Owners committee, this is the second of the twice a year owner forum. The fall session will be a lessons learnt discussion on the following topics set out in the agenda below. Representatives from the Owner committee will chair each session to facilitate lessons learnt arising from the D-B projects that have been set up and delivered across the NYC Metro owners to help others who may be experiencing similar issues or are starting D-B for the first time.
This is a closed door owners forum for public owners only. Due to a limited capacity in our space for this forum, we ask that no more than 2 individuals per organization attend.
