DECEMBER 10-11, 2025 | LOS ANGELES | JW MARRIOTT L.A. LIVE
The California Infrastructure Development Conference is a two-day forum for public owners and industry partners focused on how projects actually move, from concept to closeout, across transportation, social infrastructure, water, energy, and more.
Through keynotes, panels, and case studies, our program focuses on project readiness, funding strategy, and delivery execution. Attendees will examine when and how to advance a project, which delivery model fits (DB, CM/GC, progressive DB, P3), and how to align scope, risk, and schedule with capital.
Our agenda spans the full lifecycle: early feasibility and cost modeling; procurement design and evaluation; contract and risk allocation; construction oversight; and O&M planning for long-term value. Sessions feature real case studies from transit modernization and water resilience to health, civic, and airport programs, paired with practical guidance on leveraging federal/state funds, value capture, and private capital to close gaps and accelerate timelines.
The conference is also a platform for meaningful connection. With a diverse mix of city, county, state, and regional agencies alongside developers, AEC leaders, and financiers, the conference is structured to facilitate connections and set up the partnerships needed to deliver the next wave of California infrastructure.
Join us for a fireside chat with Ian Choudri, CEO of the California High-Speed Rail Authority. We'll highlight the vision and progress of the nation's first high-speed rail program, discuss the capital program and procurement outlook, and explore delivery innovations applicable to other major projects.
Join a conversation with Senator Anna Caballero on a community-first approach to funding and delivering public infrastructure. We’ll discuss how state policy is evolving and how cities and counties can blend funding tools to deliver projects in both urban and rural communities.
Join a conversation with Kome Ajise, Executive Director of the Southern California Association of Governments, the nation’s largest metropolitan planning organization. We’ll translate regional priorities into deliverable projects, outline how cities and counties can position proposals for success, and discuss when alternative delivery models add value.
Join a conversation with Chief Deputy Treasurer Patrick Henning on the Golden State Infrastructure Act (SB 769)—what it is, why it matters, and how it could expand California’s toolbox for funding transportation, water, energy, and civic facilities.
This year’s program includes over 25 sessions that explore the tools, risks, and strategies behind project delivery in California. Attendees will gain firsthand insights from public agency leaders, infrastructure owners, developers, AEC firms, investors, and legal advisors actively driving major projects across the state.
