Our popular City and State Government Roundtable is back! This interactive session gives you a
rare opportunity to connect directly with agency representatives in a fast-paced, “speed dating”
format. Representatives will rotate from table to table to share valuable insights on their
upcoming annual qualifications process—what they’re looking for, how they evaluate submittals,
and how your firm can stand out.
.
Bring your questions, get real answers, and leave with a clearer understanding of what it takes to
make a strong impression in your next annual submission.
Hear from:
● Ed Sniffen (Director) Hawaii Department of Transportation
● Eric Nishimoto (Project Management Branch Chief) and Gordon Wood (Public Works Division Administrator), Hawaii Department of Accounting and General Services
