  • Sponsors the Light Glide Tour

    Thursday April 16, 2026

    Pier 36 on the East River

     

    The DBIA NYC Metro Region invites you to partner with us for an immersive technical case study and networking experience aboard our inaugural Bridge Lighting Tour and Dinner Cruise. Unlike traditional industry gatherings, this event offers a "living lab" environment where public and private owners, architects, and contractors engage directly with the complex engineering and design challenges of New York’s iconic infrastructure.

    By sponsoring this tour, your organization is positioned at the intersection of innovation and collaborative project delivery. Attendees will explore the artistry and technical precision of projects like the Lighting of MTA TBTA’s RFK Bridge, and the Rehabilitation of NYC’s Brooklyn Bridge alongside world-renowned experts, providing our sponsors with high-touch visibility and a unique platform to connect with key agency decision-makers. We invite you to review the following opportunities to showcase your leadership within the rapidly expanding NYC Metro design-build community.
