2024 Visions, Insights & Perspective (VIP) Infrastructure
June 5 - 7, 2024 | The Watergate Hotel | Washington, DC
VIP Infrastructure brings together institutional investors and investment managers who are actively investing in the infrastructure asset class or are exploring it for the future. The event will offer exclusive content, expert analysis and insightful perspectives.
VIP delivers a quality agenda that is marketing-free. IREI does not permit any side meetings, at any time during our scheduled program. Additionally, the attendee list shall not be utilized for marketing purposes, of any type, nor should it be used for distribution. These are both a violation of IRE's events policy and we reserve the right to rescind any future attendance. We trust you understand that these (and our related event policies) have always been designed to ensure we can create the kind of unique, special experience for all attendees we’ve always been known for.
Please email us at events@irei.com if you'd like to be added to our mailing list and receive information on this event.
