Projects & Money 2022 | Information Forecast, Inc | 25 January 2022 | Royal Sonesta New Orleans, 300 Bourbon St, New Orleans, LA 70130, USA

This meeting is where the country’s leading project developers and the financial community come to kick off their year. It is a powerful venue for the project finance community to connect, share information about upcoming project opportunities, buy and sell projects, and get the latest market intelligence on the trends in the markets, all while hearing the best-informed perspectives on the financing and deal-making landscape.

After the disruption of the pandemic, the energy transition got back on track in 2021, with significantly increased project development, finance and investment activity. And 2022 is when all this activity will really shift into overdrive. This is the time you will really need the high-powered networking that is at the heart of Projects & Money.
