The Park University School of Business Symposium on Public-Private Partnerships (3Ps) brings together major stakeholders in finance, public policy, economic development, and real estate development. Many state and local governments view 3Ps as viable options and seek to learn more about the risks, rewards, and financial options available.

This symposium will demonstrate how governments can benefit from private-sector financing for new infrastructure or improvements for existing, outmoded structures. Likewise, private investors are confronted with a variety of questions when deciding on the best way to structure and finance public-private partnerships that will yield acceptable return on investment.

The Park University School of Business Symposium on Public-Private Partnerships is an ideal opportunity to listen to, interact and network with your peers about the state of 3P projects in the 21st century, success stories and challenges of 3Ps, and the new realities of 3Ps financing in the aftermath of the Great Recession of 2008-2009. Our panelists are national and regional experts on the subject as well as distinguished elected officials with intimate experiences of public-private partnership ventures.

Keynote Speakers

	Richard Norment Executive Director, National Council for Public-Private Partnership (NCPPP), Washington, D.C., who will provide relevant national trends with an emphasis on regional development.
	The Honorable Mike Fahey, Former Mayor of Omaha, who will share information on the remarkable growth experienced in the City of Omaha and will describe how public and private partnerships played an integral role in that development.
