CALLING ALL BLACK-OWNED BUSINESSES ACROSS NORTH TEXAS
Black excellence is not accidental—it is built, financed, scaled, and sustained through intentional relationships, access to capital, and collective action. The Arlington Black Chamber of Commerce (ABCC) invites Black-owned business owners, entrepreneurs, contractors, subcontractors, consultants, and service providers to a powerful evening of connection, strategy, and opportunity.
Calling all black-owned construction firms, trades, & industry consultants in the D/FW Metroplex!!!
The Arlington Black Chamber of Commerce (ABCC) formally invites Black-owned construction-related businesses to strategically position themselves in front of the decision-makers who award work.
This is not a mixer.
This is intentional access to procurement pathways, projects, and people with authority.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND (SUPPLIERS & SERVICE PROVIDERS)
Black-owned firms across the construction ecosystem, including but not limited to:
General Contractors & Subcontractors
MEP Trades (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection, Low Voltage)
Architects & Engineers
Concrete, Masonry, Roofing, Steel, & Specialty Trades
Facilities & Maintenance Contractors
Landscapers & Site Services
Developers, Logistics, & Construction Consultants
Realtors specializing in commercial, industrial, or development projects
Estimators, Cost Consultants, & Pre-Construction Professionals
WHO YOU WILL MEET (BUYERS & DECISION-MAKERS)
This event is designed to introduce, connect, and elevate underrepresented firms directly to:
Prime Contractors & General Contractors
Facility Directors & Owners’ Representatives
Project Managers & Construction Executives
Pre-Construction & Estimating Teams
Bond Program Executives & Capital Program Managers
SBE / MWBE / HUB Administrators
These are the professionals who control bid lists, scopes, and invitations to compete.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Black-owned construction businesses receive less than 1% of all D/FW construction contracts.
Opportunities do not circulate to companies that are unknown, unseen, or unintroduced.
If decision-makers don’t know you exist, they cannot recommend you, prequalify you, or award you work.
This forum eliminates that barrier.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Meaningful participation—not surface-level networking
Direct access to primes actively seeking qualified suppliers
Intentional project recruitment and relationship-building
Strategic visibility for your firm, capabilities, and capacity
A room curated for deal flow, not distractions
FINAL WORD
This is not just a Black contractor event.
All contractors, primes, and industry partners are welcome.
This event exists to debut, introduce, and integrate qualified Black-owned firms into active and future construction pipelines across North Texas.
If your goal in 2026 is visibility, credibility, and contracts, your presence is not optional.
Show up prepared. Show up positioned. Show up to be selected.
