Details

Now in its 15th year, the America Forum returns to New York to host North America’s most influential investors, fund managers and policy makers for two days of unparalleled networking. Join the infrastructure community and debate the trends shaping the North American infrastructure landscape.

The forum continues to be the premier event for industry leaders redefining infrastructure investment to gather and exchange the latest industry intelligence.

• Energy security – is LNG from the US the way to wean the market off Russian gas?
• Legislative and regulatory views – can the US renewables market thrive without tax credits?
• Midstream energy – how environmentally friendly is the transition to gas as the key transition fuel?
• Data center platform opportunities – are the large scale platforms being taken private by the big players?
• Expanding beyond megafunds – does the US midmarket offer greater value across the various sub-sectors?
• The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) update – what are we seeing flowing down from the package and where’s the money going?
• Digital infrastructure – will enough capacity be built to satisfy demand amid rising construction costs and labor shortages?
• Investors reducing manager relationships – are the suites of infrastructure products from large managers attractive or just increasing risk?
