What is the best way to marry private sector wants with public sector needs? How can we create projects that improve our communities without hurting our bank account? Those questions, and more, will be answered at this event.
Expect to hear from the local authorities themselves on what their priorities are and what they’re looking for. Then learn from developers who have been there before as they share their tips on how to pitch a deal that authorities will find hard to refuse. If you have ever wanted to try for those big government projects, this is a session you won’t want to miss.
