The Architectural and Engineering Exchange Program is an annual event that gives minority, woman-owned and small architectural and engineering companies an opportunity to network and develop relationships with larger firms that are looking for reliable, Port Authority–certified consulting firms to work on future projects. Information about future construction contracts and the agency's architectural and engineering procurement process is provided. The event also covers how certified businesses can become prime contractors and subcontractors.
The annual Buyers Exchange Program provides minority, woman-owned and small businesses with information about Port Authority M/W/SBE programs, upcoming procurement opportunities and exposure to Port Authority buyers, as well as buyers from major service firms.
At the Construction Contractors Exchange Program, minority, woman-owned and small construction companies have the opportunity to meet some of the construction industry's largest firms—which provide information on contract opportunities—and to learn about the Port Authority's construction plans.
