Registration & Networking Breakfast

8:30 AM – 9:00 AM
Panel

Rebuilding the Northeast — Delivering America’s Largest Infrastructure Programs

The Northeast is entering one of the most consequential periods of infrastructure investment in generations. From New York and New Jersey to Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, agencies are simultaneously rebuilding century-old assets, expanding capacity and modernizing systems while keeping some of America’s busiest transportation, water and energy networks operating. This opening discussion examines how infrastructure owners are managing unprecedented capital programs, construction inflation, procurement, workforce constraints and delivery risk.

9:00 AM – 9:30 AM
Panel

The Northeast Corridor Rebuild — Gateway, Penn Station & the Next Generation of Rail

The Northeast Corridor is undergoing its largest reconstruction in generations. Gateway, the Hudson Tunnel Project, Portal North Bridge, East River Tunnel rehabilitation, Baltimore’s Frederick Douglass Tunnel, Connecticut bridge replacements and other projects are transforming the backbone of passenger rail between Washington and Boston. This discussion examines how owners are delivering major projects while maintaining service, coordinating across jurisdictions and addressing cost, schedule, capacity and reliability.

9:30 AM – 10:00 AM
Panel

Powering the Northeast — Grid Reliability, Electrification & the New Electricity Demand

Electricity demand is entering a new era as data centers, building electrification, transportation, manufacturing and economic growth place new requirements on the Northeast’s power system. Utilities and grid operators must expand transmission, substations, generation and storage while maintaining affordability and reliability. This panel examines where new capacity will come from, what must be built and whether power availability could become a constraint on Northeast growth.

10:00 AM – 10:30 AM
Networking

Morning Networking Break

10:30 AM – 11:00 AM
Panel

Moving the Megaregion — Transit, Highways, Bridges & Regional Mobility

The Northeast contains some of America’s oldest, busiest and most complex transportation networks. Transit agencies and DOTs must replace aging assets while improving reliability, accessibility and capacity and accommodating changing travel patterns. This discussion examines the investments reshaping mobility across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maryland and the broader Northeast Corridor.

11:00 AM – 11:30 AM
Panel

Rebuilding New York — The Next Generation of Infrastructure Investment

New York sits at the center of one of the world’s largest infrastructure markets. Transit modernization, airports, rail, water, housing, streets, public buildings, energy and resilience are generating enormous capital requirements across the metropolitan region. This discussion brings together New York’s major infrastructure owners to examine the projects, priorities and delivery strategies that will define the next decade.

11:30 AM – 12:00 PM
Panel

Airports, Ports & Freight — Modernizing the Northeast’s Global Gateways

The Northeast’s airports, ports, rail terminals and freight corridors support one of the world’s largest regional economies. Infrastructure owners are investing billions to modernize terminals, improve passenger experience, expand freight capacity, electrify operations and strengthen connections to surrounding transportation networks. This panel examines the next generation of investment at the region’s major gateways.

12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
Networking

Networking Lunch

1:00 PM – 1:30 PM
Panel

Housing the Northeast — Infrastructure, Affordability & Building More Where People Want to Live

Housing affordability has become inseparable from infrastructure policy across the Northeast. Adding housing requires sufficient transit, water, sewer, power, schools, public facilities and development capacity—particularly around existing transportation hubs. This discussion examines how infrastructure investment can unlock housing production and support denser, transit-oriented growth.

1:30 PM – 2:00 PM
Panel

Water Under Pressure — Replacing the Northeast’s Aging Water Infrastructure

Much of the Northeast’s drinking water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure was built generations ago. Utilities and municipalities face enormous requirements to replace aging systems while addressing affordability, flooding, regulatory mandates, lead service lines and emerging contaminants. This discussion examines how the region can accelerate water investment while improving resilience and reliability.

2:00 PM – 2:30 PM
Panel

Resilient Northeast — Flooding, Heat, Coastal Risk & Protecting Critical Infrastructure

From coastal flooding and extreme rainfall to heat and severe storms, Northeast infrastructure owners are being forced to rethink how assets are designed, protected and operated. Transportation agencies, utilities, airports, ports and municipalities are investing in resilience while confronting the enormous cost of retrofitting existing infrastructure. This panel examines where investment is occurring and how agencies are prioritizing the assets most at risk.

2:30 PM – 3:00 PM
Panel

Paying for the Northeast Rebuild — Federal Funding, Bonds, P3s & Private Capital

The Northeast has some of America’s largest infrastructure ambitions—and some of its most expensive projects. Agencies are combining federal programs, state and local funding, toll and fare revenues, bonds, value capture and private capital to advance major investments. This discussion examines the evolving infrastructure-finance landscape and how the region can fund its next generation of projects.

3:00 PM – 3:30 PM
Networking

Afternoon Networking Break

3:30 PM – 4:00 PM
Panel

Building While Operating — Delivering Megaprojects in America’s Most Complex Urban Environment

Building major infrastructure in the Northeast means working around millions of passengers, dense neighborhoods, utilities, businesses and existing assets that often cannot be taken out of service. Owners must manage staging, utility conflicts, stakeholder coordination, permitting, constructability and operational continuity while controlling cost and schedule. This panel examines what it takes to deliver complex infrastructure across New York and the Northeast Corridor.

4:00 PM – 4:30 PM
Panel

The Megaproject Delivery Problem — Cost, Schedule, Procurement & Risk

Why do major infrastructure projects take so long and cost so much—and what can owners actually do about it? This discussion brings together owners, engineers, contractors and program managers to examine procurement, permitting, risk allocation, change management, workforce constraints, construction inflation and the project controls required to deliver multibillion-dollar programs successfully.

4:30 PM – 5:00 PM
Panel

Connected Capital Programs — AI, Digital Twins & the Infrastructure Data Revolution

The Northeast’s largest infrastructure owners are managing thousands of projects and billions of dollars of assets. BIM, GIS, project controls, asset management, digital twins, field data and AI are increasingly being connected into common environments that give executives greater visibility from planning through operations. This discussion examines where digital transformation is producing measurable improvements in cost, schedule, risk and asset performance.

5:00 PM – 5:30 PM
Panel

AI, Robotics & the Future of Building the Northeast

AI, robotics, drones, autonomous inspection, computer vision and advanced analytics are beginning to change how infrastructure is planned, designed, constructed and maintained. The question is moving from what these technologies could do to where they can deliver measurable improvements today. This closing discussion examines the technologies likely to have the greatest impact on infrastructure productivity, safety and workforce requirements over the next decade.
