Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026 P3 Forum!
This year’s forum explored the expanding role of public-private partnerships in delivering strategic infrastructure across cities, transportation networks, airports, data and energy systems, and the defense industrial base. Public and private sector leaders discussed emerging investment opportunities, infrastructure delivery challenges, and the collaborative approaches needed to support economic growth, innovation, and national resilience.
Recordings for the individual sessions and keynote remarks are below.
