With federal funding in place for high-speed rail projects across the U.S., what role will private capital and development expertise play? Will the commitment of federal dollars bring private capital to the proposed projects? If so, what will private capital require? Our international panel of experts will provide perspectives from project developers and lenders, as well as an update on the status of federal funding and legal requirements for P3s. We'll explore what opportunities exist for those interested in project debt financing, vendor financing, systems operations, and private ownership.

Our panel will be moderated by Kathryn Kusske Floyd, a partner in Dorsey & Whitney's Washington, D.C. office, who works on transportation project approvals across the U.S and cross-border.
