About the Event
Opportunities in Transportation Infrastructure has established itself as
a major gathering place where key government transportation officials
come to brief the private sector on upcoming initiatives in transportation
infrastructure projects. In 2007, eighteen government officials were on
hand to discuss the opportunities for the private sector to participate
in their transportation programs. Again, in 2008, the event will feature
an outstanding line-up of government transportation representatives
who will provide briefings on their upcoming initiatives and the role
they would like to see the private sector play in their projects for roads,
bridges, tunnels, airports, and ports.
In addition, the event will showcase a remarkable group of private
sector players who are actively developing and financing transportation
infrastructure projects and who will share their insights on how private
sector companies can add maximum value to the upcoming projects and
successfully participate.
The event is an excellent chance for the private sector to discover the
latest developments and gauge the current opportunities in the market,
as well as for government transportation officials to learn how other
states and localities are approaching their projects. It is the perfect
occasion to make the contacts necessary to play a successful role in the
transportation infrastructure projects of the future.
The Pre-Conference Tutorial:
Transportation Infrastructure – The Tutorial
Join our distinguished faculty as they provide an exceptional tutorial
covering the critical considerations necessary to establish the
structure for a successful transportation infrastructure project. Topics
to be covered include Asset Due Diligence, Tax Considerations,
Risk Allocation & Bankability, Local Law Considerations, Remedies
& Enforcement, the Federal Policy Debate (and its implications for
funding) and Public-Public vs. Public-Private Partnerships.
