Featured Keynote

We are honored to welcome Darrin D. Lambrigger, P.E., Director of Construction Management Division at the Port of Long Beach, as the keynote speaker for SBCX. With more than three decades of engineering and construction management experience, Darrin leads the delivery of the nation’s largest marine port construction program, overseeing more than $4 billion in capital improvements that are reshaping how goods move through one of the world’s busiest trade gateways. Darrin and his team have driven transformative projects like the all-electric Middle Harbor Terminal, the new Gerald Desmond Bridge, and major rail upgrades, and we are eager to learn from him this year at SBCX!

Industry Voices

We had a great time [at SBCX], and made very promising connections with other firms and agencies. As someone who was just an attendee at last year’s event, I’m really pleased with our decision to host a booth this time around. This wasn’t an easy choice for ISI, since we haven’t done a booth in years, but I’m near-certain this week’s success means we’ll do it again (and again).

Antoine Megevand, P.E, Project Manager
ISI Inspection Services, Inc.

As someone who has transitioned from corporate to owning a small business, SBCX holds deep personal meaning and represents a powerful force of impact across the industry. SBCX is
more than an event, it’s a launchpad and a movement. When we invest in small businesses with the right tools, training, and connections, we’re not just building companies we’re building a stronger, more resilient industry capable of sustaining consistent project growth, delivery, and long-term impact.
