Dear Colleague,
Re: IPFA Infrastructure Finance Week 2013
IPFA is pleased to announce our inaugural Infrastructure Finance Week in
London from 12 th -15 th March 2013.
The week will bring together the international project finance industry to
network and discuss latest developments in key regional and sectoral project
finance markets covering infrastructure, PPPs and energy. A primary focus of
the week will be to examine and identify new sources of project finance debt
and understand how to develop the role of institutional investors and pension
funds in financing major infrastructure projects.
IPFA Week is set to become the leading thought-leadership forum for the
international project finance community, attracting key dealmakers and senior
decision-makers from around the world involved in developing and leading
major infrastructure projects.
Four days of events offering maximimum networking opportunities with
meetings carefully structured to allow you to develop new contacts and
business relationships.
IPFA Week features the inaugural Infrastructure Finance Forum, networking
drinks receptions, a charity golf day, site visits to leading infrastructure projects
and dinners conducive for discussion and debate on the state of the global
project finance markets.
I hope that you can join me for what promises to be an excellent week.
Geoff Haley
Global Chairman, IPFA
