Brexit and the election of Donald Trump have signaled the rise of populism in many developed markets. What are the risks and opportunities across sectors in this new political environment? What does the deal pipeline look like by country and sector? Have infrastructure investors altered how they calculate political, currency and other types of risk in this new environment?

| 2:30 pm | Topics of the Day: Roundtable Discussion Group
With our editorial board and conference advisory board, we will develop a list of 10 timely topics for the infrastructure investor community. Attendees will be polled prior to the conference to vote on their top four topics for discussion at our event. Moderator: |
| 3:00 pm | Topics of the Day: Group Leader Reports
After tables discuss one of four timely topics, we will have table group leaders share their table’s insights with the general audience. At that point, it becomes an open interactive forum where anyone can ask follow-up questions or make additional comments based on what the prior table found. The idea here is to leverage all the talent in the room to discover new insights. Moderators: |
