Christine Reynolds, Partner, Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP

The Bond Buyer's latest class of exceptional muni industry young professionals will join us for a discussion on current economic developments and the impact they are having on the U.S. infrastructure projects and the rollout of the IIJA.

Our panel of muni industry experts will help us parse through the law and understand exactly what it does and doesn't do for the public finance industry.

Bolstered by the IIJA, the aim behind the District's first P3 deal is twofold: to convert D.C.'s network of more than 75,000 streetlights into energy-efficient LED bulbs and to upgrade its Wi-Fi infrastructure. To explain the intricacies of the deal, how it all came together and what to expect going forward, we will be joined by the parties directly involved in the project.

Morteza Farajian, Executive Director, Build America Bureau

Top muni industry executives will share their views on the current developments and a road ahead.

The discussion will center around what progress has been made thus far.

Peter Keating, Contributing Writer, The Bond Buyer; Jonathan Dingle, Senior Investment Director, Meridiam; Michael Discenza, CFO-North America, Transurban Limited; Mr. Saavan Gatfield, Senior Director, Business & Relationship Management — Infrastructure & Project Finance, Fitch Ratings; Steve Park, Partner, Ballard Spahr

Mr. Landrieu will be introduced by Seán W. McCarthy, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Build America Mutual Assurance Company.

We will focus on a holistic portfolio analysis to determine which assets are best suited for major improvements and monetization.
