Our San Francisco Bay Area group is heading behind the scenes for an exclusive look at the city’s largest wastewater facility project! This tour of the SFPUC Biosolids Digester Facilities Project (BDFP) is a unique opportunity to experience an active construction site firsthand while connecting with queer and ally professionals in the built environment. Attendees will gain practical industry insight by exploring real-world project workflows and the design considerations required for large-scale infrastructure, all while fostering community visibility and belonging. You can expect an engaging, on-site walkthrough led by project professionals, providing a deeper understanding of the construction process and a chance to empower your career through new connections in an affirming, real-world setting.
