PROGRAM OVERVIEW:

  • The U.S. Infrastructure Development Conference is a two-day national forum for public-sector owners and private delivery partners focused on how major transportation, water, energy, social, and civic infrastructure projects advance from concept through procurement, delivery, and long-term operations.

    Through keynotes, panel discussions, and technical sessions, participants examine how agencies are closing funding gaps, navigating procurement complexity, managing risk, and accelerating timelines using both traditional and alternative delivery approaches.

    Case studies and advisor insights guide attendees across the full project lifecycle from capital planning and financing strategy to construction, operations, and maintenance. Sessions explore how to assess project readiness, select the appropriate delivery model, and align funding structures with project scale, complexity, and risk allocation.

    The program also highlights federal, state, and local financing tools, along with innovative approaches to leveraging private capital and long-term partnerships to advance priority infrastructure.

    Designed to foster meaningful collaboration, the conference convenes a national audience of city, county, state, and federal leaders alongside private-sector partners. Networking is intentionally integrated throughout the program to support practical exchange, strategic dialogue, and lasting partnerships.
