KEYNOTES & CONVERSATIONS
I don’t just speak about systems; I work inside them.
From construction oversight, outreach to compliance strategy, I understand how infrastructure moves and who gets left out of it.
Equity doesn’t happen at the ribbon cutting.
It happens in the blueprint, the budget, and the bid package.
Blueprint for Access™
Building Equity Into Infrastructure, Not Around It
Infrastructure projects move millions, sometimes billions, of dollars.
But too often, marginalized businesses are invited late, underprepared, or positioned as symbolic participants rather than strategic partners.
In this keynote, Talia Johnson-Huff draws from her experience in construction management, MWBE strategy, public-private collaboration, and compliance oversight to reveal what truly creates inclusive, high-performing infrastructure ecosystems.
This isn’t about checking boxes.
It’s about building systems that work.
Before I ever stepped on a stage, I was on job sites, in procurement meetings, and inside public systems; learning how projects are funded, managed, and awarded.
I understand both sides of the table.
That’s why my strategy works.
