Closer dive in valuations for digital infrastructure assets - Much like the global health of the financial markets are affecting traditionally protected assets, they have the potential to truly affect newer, shorter termed contracts.
How does this interest rate and valuation changes affect digital assets? How long will it last?
How are themes of convergence between assets changing the landscape of how projects are delivered?
Supply chain in digital infrastructure – is this a more secure asset class with opportunities in nearshoring? Or just as impacted as any other market?
Join for an update on the US Tower infrastructure market; what has typically been a steady and concentrated market, now looks for more trends in convergence and innovation
What is the projected demand for telecom tower infrastructure within the US?
Where is investment in connectivity most needed? How is this affected by continued buildout of 5G across the country?
How are relationships with landowners and carriers evolving?
Panel of top level market leaders taking stock and exploring new avenues - what asset classes are the most active, what challenges are they facing, and how they are managing through dislocations and quickly fluctuating interest rates?
Breakdown of the market discussing recent trends in transportation, civil, and social infrastructure
Risk transfer, capital requirements, and labor shortages affecting project delivery
Is more legislative impetus needed? In what direction?
What changes might be needed to bidding processes and structures to cope with uncertainty?
Will the IIJA and IRA have as profound an impact on the transport and social infrastructure market as it could in renewable energy?
Easily one of the most talked about sectors within transportation: electric vehicle charging provides immense opportunities for new build and utilization of existing infrastructure to deliver updated access for EV demand across the country. However, with lack of proven returns, uptake rate, and high initial costs for access for the end user, there are still some trials and tribulations for a fully realized electric transportation future.
What risks are lenders and developers taking on? How reliable have revenue models been (and will be)?
At what scale do chargers generate returns? What factors should investors be looking into? Is it just about the electrons or are there cross sales available for the charging stations?
What levels of financing are developers seeking? What qualities are they looking for in lenders? Corporate vs project structures.
This workshop session allows for hands-on discussions to breakdown best practices in structuring new deals. Our session leaders will work though:
What project structures work best? More and more we are seeing hybrid PF /private capital deals; for what assets are these types of deal structures best?
The value of a clear and dependable procurement program, regardless of method
The importance and growing need of including local community stakeholders in any project structuring and financing.
Bankers and funds unite to dive deeply into market trends; where the capital for projects is coming from, the risk reward expectations in both debt and equity markets, and explore how banks and private placement investors view market conditions.
How are debt players feeling about the uncertainty caused by inflation and dislocation in the market?
Do strategic equity providers add value to P3 deals or can a 100% financial sponsor grouping work well?
Secondary market activity: private-private and public-private. What opportunities are there to recycle capital?
Will private credit emerge as a substantial player in infrastructure debt markets?

Arguably the hottest asset class within digital infrastructure, Data centers continue to have some of the largest ticket sizes in the market. The US is also home to the most data centers with well over 2,000 active projects.
What is the appetite within the US? Are the best opportunities for new builds outside of the country?
What lenders are top in the sector? Is there any changing of the guard or new entrants?
Is having a FANG offtaker still necessary for projects to be approved?
What opportunities are there for entrants in the public financing market?
The definition of infrastructure continues to evolve. Fewer and fewer true greenfield assets are coming to market, and more projects are being delivered as a service. Our session leaders will work though:

Deputy Governor/TDOT Commissioner Butch Eley will discuss the Transportation Modernization Act, how the passing of this critical legislation will prepare TDOT with the resources needed to build and maintain roads across our rural and urban communities, fundamentally changes the way Tennessee delivers projects, and sets us up for a sustainable revenue source for the future.

Affecting all facets of rural life, this topic is especially timely - given the “once-in-a-generation” BEAD investment. In a little more than a month, each state will be notified of their slice of the $42.5 billion. Before discussing BEAD’s expected impact on rural communities and the investment community, our distinguished panelists share their perspective on the challenges and opportunities surrounding rural broadband. They will answer questions such as these:
· Do you view broadband as a utility? How does this affect your investment thesis?
· How do government subsidies alter your rural broadband investment thesis and technology choices?
· What will BEAD’s impact be? How will it spur P3s? What types of incremental investment are expected from the private sector?
· How do you integrate ESG considerations into your investment process?
· What is your perspective on the natural tension inherent in the public sector’s “Internet for all” mission and the private sector’s profit goal?

ESG in Infrastructure is becoming more and more top of mind for developers, lenders and investors alike. How can we ensure that existing and greenfield projects have the end user in mind? How are we really defining “smart” infrastructure; just as something that has a digital interface, or one created with intelligent, user-friendly design?
Accessibility in transit and building projects
Equity in infrastructure: how do we include Wider stakeholders in design and execution? How do we decide the level of need for new projects/ updates?
