Details
The CDFA Virtual National Summit is designed for both public and private sector participants from across the country. Attendees represent a diverse cross section of the development finance industry and bring unique perspectives, creative financing approaches, and interesting conversation to the event.
The past two years have challenged our nation like no other time in our history. From the COVID-19 pandemic, elections, and economic distress to the social, racial, and equity challenges facing many communities, our nation is looking for answers. The CDFA Virtual National Summit will take on these challenges and explore ways in which development finance can once again rise to the occasion. With billions in federal funding coming to cities and the markets ready for investment, now is the time to prepare your community for growth, investment, job creation, and long-term economic sustainability. The CDFA Virtual National Summit will focus on finding solutions to challenges we continue to face with COVID-19 but will also pivot to look at community, housing, infrastructure, and real estate finance opportunities. Bonds, TIF, tax credits, revolving loan funds, Opportunity Zones, PACE, and myriad federal funding programs, the CDFA Virtual National Summit will cover the entire development finance spectrum. Through pragmatic and action-oriented discussion, presentations, case studies, and interactive networking, this event will bring together the development finance community.
