The Roosevelt New Orleans
New Orleans, LA

Join Leading Capital Providers and Project Developers at the Premier Project Finance Event as They Set the Deal-Making Agenda for the Year Ahead!

Projects & Money is the meeting where the country’s leading project developers and the financial community come together to kick off their year. Known as the “one-stop networking hub for project finance professionals," this one-of-a-kind event —- featuring its unique brand of penetrating discussions of the latest trends, approaches, issues and opportunities and eliciting the most candid insights from the nation’s leading practitioners and gurus -- returns to New Orleans January 17-19, 2024.

If you want the absolutely latest and most informed analyses of how the project finance industry’s new regime of IRA incentives is remaking industry practices, despite increasing capital and debt costs, inflation, interest rate pressures and geopolitical turmoil, this is where you want to start out your year. This event offers the very deepest dive into your ability to deploy capital, from both traditional and novel sources, for solar, wind and storage as well as for projects in LNG, hydrogen, carbon capture, alternative fuels and other areas of growing activity.

Do you want to know how and where developers expect to increase their development activity in the year ahead, as well as their best practices for managing a variety of risks? Only those armed with the latest intelligence received directly from the industry’s top movers and shakers will be positioned to maximize their success in the year ahead.

Do you want to take advantage of the high-powered networking that is at the heart of Projects & Money? From beginning to end, there will be constant opportunities to meet key decision-makers from the project and finance communities, get answers to your most pressing questions, and capitalize on new opportunities that will lead to successful deals.

Come, join us in New Orleans to kick-off your 2024 calendar year. While this event has imitators, it really has no peers. You’ll come away with genuinely new approaches, strategies and relationships that developers and financiers are using to get projects across the finish line in today’s unprecedented financing and investment environment, and across the full range of today's expanded spectrum of project opportunities. Please review our unique agenda and faculty and reserve your place today.
