Building Connections at the 2026 MWBE Regional Opportunities Expo

Meaningful connections are the foundation of great partnerships.

Representing Gedeon GRC Consulting, Angelica Augustyniak, Senior Marketing & Business Development Specialist, attended the 2026 MWBE Regional Opportunities Expo, an event that brings together agencies, organizations, contractors, and business leaders to foster networking, collaboration, and opportunities for Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBEs) across New York State.

During the expo, Angelica connected with industry professionals, agency representatives, and business leaders from across the region while exploring opportunities to strengthen relationships and support future collaboration. One of the highlights of the event was meeting with Richard DePaoli, WEDG, Director of Downstate Business Development at DACK Consulting Solutions, and engaging in conversations about partnership opportunities and industry growth.

Events like the MWBE Regional Opportunities Expo provide valuable opportunities to expand our network, build meaningful relationships, and stay engaged with initiatives that support supplier diversity, business development, and innovation throughout the AEC industry.
