Infrastructure Investors Forum: Australia 2018 | Acuris | 14 August 2018 | The Westin Sydney, 1 Martin Pl, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia

The Australian Infrastructure Investors Forum will return in September after a successful launch event that attracted the biggest names from the GP and LP universe to Sydney including CDPQ, PSP Investments, Future Fund, Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets, Hastings and CPPIB.

The forum will bring together institutions and industry stakeholders to network and discuss the latest developments in public and private markets as we focus on the most pressing and challenging topics today.As the pipeline for privatisation of assets dwindles and demand for deals outweighs supply, investors are looking at distressed deals and private equity style investments to find value. However, a different skill-set is necessary when operational expertise are required to create value and GPs must be able to show their worth if the risk is going to generate the desired reward.

Why you need to attend?
• Gain unrivalled access to industry-leading fund managers and institutional investors .
• Network with delegates from Australia, Asia, Canada, Europe and North America.
• Review case studies of recent deals and the challenges and strategies that were employed.
• Find out about Australia’s infrastructure requirements and how private capital can be best mobilised .
• Discover how LPs view the asset class and where they will be making future allocations.
• Discuss the rise in investment opportunities in renewable energy and how to best source these deals.
• Identify the latest PPP deals in the pipeline and when they will become available.
