Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) are becoming a popular and viable solution as governments struggle with budgetary constraints that hinder the development and construction of crucial public infrastructure.

Join us for a 60-minute audio conference where one of the nation's leading PPP experts will share proven ways local governments can:
- Achieve better value for taxpayers, reduce strain on operating budgets
- Identify steps to clearly define cost savings, time, limits and risk
- Tap into private capital and expertise to meet massive infrastructure needs
- Effectively guard against project risks and pitfalls
