The Florida Infrastructure Decision: What Gets Built, What Gets Funded & Who Pays?
A statewide opening conversation on the investments that will matter most over the next five years. Leaders compare South Florida’s resilience and renewal needs, Central Florida’s growth pressures, Tampa Bay’s mobility and water priorities, Northeast Florida’s logistics and housing growth, and the distinct needs of Southwest Florida, the Panhandle and rural communities.
The discussion will address near-term capital priorities; which projects are funded; how agencies manage affordability, permitting and delivery capacity.
8:35 AM – 8:55 AM
Panel
Inside Florida’s Capital Pipeline: The Next 36 Months
A senior statewide owner or infrastructure agency leader identifies upcoming procurements and decisions, not simply long-term aspirations. Focus on schedule, packaging, funding readiness and what the market should prepare to bid.
8:55 AM – 9:25 AM
Panel
Resilient Florida: From the Gulf Coast and Panhandle to the Keys
Storm surge, inland flooding, extreme rainfall and coastal erosion threaten different parts of Florida in different ways. Compare Panhandle and Gulf Coast storm recovery, Tampa Bay and Southwest Florida coastal resilience, South Florida drainage and tidal flooding, and the inland risks facing Central and North Florida.
The discussion will address funded protection works, drainage upgrades, barrier islands, emergency access and evidence of measurable risk reduction.
9:25 AM – 9:55 AM
Panel
Florida’s Water Reckoning: Supply, Wastewater, Springs & the Everglades
Water challenges extend far beyond the Miami metro. Examine Central Florida aquifer pressure and reuse, North and Central Florida springs restoration, septic-to-sewer conversion, South Florida wastewater and Everglades investments, and estuary protection on both coasts.
The discussion will address utility capital plans, treatment and reuse, nutrient removal, permitting, affordability and the infrastructure needed to support development.
9:55 AM – 10:25 AM
Panel
Powering Florida: Grid Expansion, Storm Hardening & New Industrial Load
Utility leaders confront growing demand from homes, factories, ports, airports and data centers while preparing for hurricanes and protecting customers from excessive costs. Which generation, transmission, substation, storage and targeted undergrounding investments can be delivered on time?
The discussion will address large-load connections, transmission constraints, cost allocation, equipment lead times, storm resilience and critical-facility backup.

Networking
Morning Networking Break

Panel
Florida’s Next Wave of Megaprojects: Where the Work Is Moving
An owner-led look at major highway, airport, port, rail, water and public facility projects across the state. Rather than a promotional project parade, the panel asks what is actually funded, what is nearing procurement, and where permitting, utility relocation or contractor capacity could shift the schedule.
The discussion will address three actual projects, procurement windows, key delivery risks, and opportunities for the industry.
11:15 AM – 11:45 AM
Panel
Connecting Florida: Interstates, Rail, Transit & the Growth Corridors
Florida’s transportation challenge is statewide but not uniform: I-4 and Central Florida, I-75 and the Gulf Coast, I-95 and the Atlantic corridor, Tampa Bay bridges, Jacksonville freight connections, and intercity rail. Explore how project selection balances safety, congestion, regional access and system resilience.
The discussion will address moving Florida Forward, multimodal connectivity, bridge investment and practical completion timelines.
11:45 AM – 12:15 PM
Panel
Florida’s Aviation & Space Economy: Airports, Spaceports and the Next Capacity Crunch
Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville and regional airports face major operating and capital needs. On the Space Coast, launch-related growth adds specialized transportation, utility and industrial infrastructure demands. Owners discuss expansion without shutting down critical operations.
The discussion will address terminal and airfield modernization, passenger access, workforce, electricity and the infrastructure behind commercial space activity.
12:15 PM – 12:35 PM
Panel
Ports, Freight & Florida’s Global Trade Gateways
From PortMiami and Port Everglades to Port Tampa Bay, Jacksonville and Port Canaveral, freight and cruise markets depend on terminals, resilient roads, rail, power and waterside capacity. An executive interview focuses on the next tangible investment decisions.
12:35 PM – 1:35 PM
Networking
Networking Lunch
A full hour to connect with agencies, sponsors, project teams and prospective partners.
1:35 PM – 2:05 PM
Panel
Growth Beyond the Coast: Housing, Industry & Infrastructure in Florida’s Fast-Growing Regions
Central Florida, the I-4 corridor, Jacksonville, Southwest Florida and emerging inland communities face a recurring question: who delivers the water, sewer, roads, schools and electricity before new housing and industrial development opens? Include rural communities where financing and staffing create different constraints.
The discussion will address off-site improvements, development agreements, growth sequencing, infrastructure concurrency and equitable cost allocation.
2:05 PM – 2:35 PM
Panel
Data Centers, Advanced Manufacturing & the Infrastructure Behind Florida’s Next Economy
Where can Florida accommodate the power, land, water, fiber and transportation required by data centers, aerospace and advanced manufacturing? Compare Northeast Florida, Central Florida, the Space Coast and other prospective growth corridors without assuming that every announced project is feasible.
The discussion will address large-load feasibility, site readiness, grid interconnection, community impacts and industrial water needs.
2:35 PM – 3:05 PM
Panel
Who Pays for Florida’s Infrastructure Boom? Bonds, Rates, Grants & Private Capital
A candid discussion of the financing stack behind statewide capital plans: state and federal programs, utility rates, local debt, special districts, availability payments and privately financed infrastructure. Identify when P3 structures improve outcomes and when owners should retain conventional delivery.
The discussion will address bankability, procurement readiness, life-cycle costs, affordability and risk sharing.
3:05 PM – 3:35 PM
Panel
From Approval to Construction: Fixing Florida’s Delivery Bottlenecks
Why do funded projects still stall? Owners, engineering firms and contractors compare permitting, utility conflicts, right-of-way, bid competition, labor availability, escalating costs and owner decision speed. Use live examples from a major metro and a smaller Florida jurisdiction.
The discussion will address design-build, CMAR, project packaging, utility coordination, procurement transparency and workforce development.
3:35 PM – 3:55 PM
Networking
Afternoon Networking Break

AI in the Field: Smarter Design, Construction & Infrastructure Operations
Cut through the hype to explore technology that improves capital project controls, inspection, asset condition, emergency operations and utility maintenance. Demand measurable outcomes, owner accountability and honest assessments of integration barriers.
The discussion will address document intelligence, digital twins, predictive maintenance, field inspection and responsible pilot-to-scale decisions.
4:25 PM – 4:55 PM
Panel
Keeping Florida Running: Cybersecurity, Hurricane Recovery & Critical Systems
Power, drinking water, transportation and communications can fail simultaneously. Public owners and operators examine recovery priorities, operational technology security, mutual aid and the backups needed in a state facing recurrent storm threats.

4:55 PM – 5:25 PM
Panel
