Sessions will focus on development, higher education, sports and entertainment, and trails, roads and infrastructure. We’ve secured a great lineup of speakers like, Ian Nicolini from Pure Development, Joe McGinness from AveNew, Patrick Talty from Indiana Sports Corp, and Mike Miller from CEG just to name a few.
