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.
Crowd favorite session comes back to the stage to discuss the future interaction between public policy, finance, and infrastructure development.
Back to school! Especially as more and more students return to in person attendance for college, how are campus developers looking to meet demand?
Demand and interest in the sector grows - from New York to Hawaii, new stadiums are being updated and built to meet the higher expectations of fans and visitors. What drives demand for the sector, and how do market health related (market AND medical) factors affect the procurement and delivery processes?
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.

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.
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?
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.
Grab a plate of Nashville grub and enjoy over our networking lunch. Connect with new business opportunities and reconnect with peers and colleagues over some delicious food.
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:
The demand for Fiber infrastructure in the US is projected to be high, but is it high enough to disrupt cable providers?
This workshop session allows for hands-on discussions to breakdown best practices in structuring new deals. Our session leaders will work though:
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?
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
Rest and reset your mind with some light refreshments provided during this networking break before we move into our final discussions of day 1!
Test your general, market, and music knowledge against your peers! Each table will team up while our head of intelligence takes you through increasingly tougher questions. Winning group gets to choose the charity of their choice!
