About the National Development Finance Summit
The 2012 CDFA National Development Finance Summit will be one of a kind with an in-depth look at development finance in the United States. This special program will provide more opportunities than ever before for attendees to engage in a diverse cross-section of development finance topics and legislative activities. Forward facing, the National Summit will address the evolving federal/state/local development finance partnership with a focus on the industry’s most pressing issues, challenges and opportunities. Designed to educate both novices and seasoned development finance professionals alike, the 2012 Development Finance Summit will touch on over 25 different financing concepts, tools, programs, strategies, and solutions to the challenges facing our country.
The National Summit will feature larger focus general sessions with top public and private sector leaders discussing the country’s greatest challenges. Drilldown sessions will focus on applying the development finance toolbox at the local level with an emphasis on best practices, problem solving, capital formation and economic growth.
And, the 2012 National Development Finance Summit will feature speakers from the federal government exploring the important role that our federal leaders play in supporting state and local development. The National Summit will also include the unique opportunity for attendees to participate in CDFA’s Capitol Hill Day to deliver the development finance message to Congress. Finally, this year’s National Summit will feature CDFA’s highly acclaimed Intro Energy Finance Course as a pre-Summit training option. Washington, DC is one of the most exciting and impressive cities in the world and the 2012 National Summit will include engaging activities like live national webcasts, walking tours, a morning sunrise run, special receptions and Capitol Hill dining adventures to allow attendees the opportunity to explore the nation's Capitol.
