About This Show
AI-drafted summaryThe P3C – Public-Private Partnership Conference is the national conference for leaders exploring how public-private partnerships can fund, build, finance, operate, and maintain America's essential infrastructure. At a time when infrastructure needs outpace available public funding, P3C brings together public officials, project owners, developers, investors, advisers, builders, and innovators to solve challenges, share lessons, and move projects forward.
The event is built for both sides of the P3 conversation. Public officials and project owners gain practical education, peer insight, and direct access to experienced partners, learning how P3s can help address funding gaps, manage risk, and improve long-term asset performance. Private-sector partners access the public owners, institutional leaders, and market intelligence they need to understand where demand is growing and build relationships with the decision-makers shaping future opportunities.
Attendees include public agencies and infrastructure owners, developers and investors, legal and advisory firms, higher education leaders, contractors and designers, and technology providers. What sets P3C apart is the concentration of public agencies and owners from across the country in one room, making it a high-value platform for education, relationship building, and business development across the infrastructure lifecycle.
