2021 P3 Government Conference

As public agencies face challenges in finding ways to upgrade existing facilities and deliver new expansions, many are looking at P3s and alternative delivery models as an opportunity to facilitate growth.

Learn how local, state, and federal agencies have overcome resource constraints and found ways to deliver critical infrastructure projects. We focus on how advancements in procurement, design, financing, and O&M can be applied to your portfolio and next project.

Join over 600 public and industry leaders for two key days of project delivery education and networking.

Opening Plenary: Building Inclusion from the Ground Up (Tuesday, December 7, 9:45 am - 10:30 am)

It’s NOT just a numbers game. Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion should all be encompassed by a mindset that is woven into your business strategy and growth plans – whether on the government side or private sector. It is the responsibility of industry to ensure that D&I is more than just a consideration and should be established as an integral part of an organization’s responsibilities through internal procedures, projects and procurement processes. Developing innovative strategies based on the people the projects touch and the community benefits and value added should be a core element of any project scope.

Public-private partnerships offer the opportunity to harness innovation due to their long term contracts, and encourage private investment in public works to benefit local economies, inducing direct and indirect job growth and program opportunities. The addition of diversity & inclusion goals in a P3 contract is vital to the success for communities.
