ALN Summit – Sustainable Value Creation

Infrastructure is intended to support human flourishing. But often, the human interest in new projects detracts from the necessary work of maintaining infrastructure so it can be of service to ongoing generations of stakeholders.

The ALN 2022 Spring Web Summit highlights the proven ways leaders of federal agencies, states, and local governments can work together to ensure the highest value is delivered to the nation through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

– Examples of what has worked in the U.S. and other countries will be highlighted.

– Thought leaders will share how existing approaches to infrastructure asset management can be improved.
