On the East Coast, it’s the Moles Annual Dinner & Awards Gala on January 8, 2025, held in New York City, then on the West Coast it is the Beavers on January 17, 2025, in Los Angeles followed by the AGC of California’s Installation Gala on February 7, 2025, in San Francisco. All of these major construction-industry events lead up to what has become the world’s largest gathering of LGBT/Allied businesses in Construction, Design, Engineering and Large-Scale Real Estate Development known as BuildIT’s Founders Day!
Join us as nearly 1,200 LGBT/Allied business owners, professionals, tradespeople, public agency/owners, stakeholders from around the world gather at the InterContinental Hotel in DTLA for our Founders Day Conference and Gala Dinner and Awards Program. Our theme this year is GLOBAL!
Immediately following the Gala Dinner & Awards join us for the highest ‘After-Party’ in the industry as we take over the entire 73rd Floor of the InterContinental known as Spire 73!
Five outstanding individuals from throughout the world will be honored for their extraordinary business acumen, success and ability to ‘move the dial’ in a significant way as it relates to workforce development and inclusion.
We have so much in store for you – it will truly be one of the biggest, most high-energy evenings within the Design & Construction Industry!
