thought leaders participate in our program.

ProgramMany communities are considering or implementing the development of entertainment and tourism infrastructure including convention centers, hotels, sports facilities and entertainment venues to stimulate their local economy and compete with neighboring destinations.

While some of these projects involve the public working independently, many are now delivered through innovative economic development partnerships between the public and private sector. These partnerships are creating new opportunities for inventive approaches to financing, developing, and maintaining major entertainment and tourism projects around the country.

Through a series of keynotes, panels, workshops, and diverse networking opportunities, the 2020 CSEF agenda will set out to answer complex issues surrounding the development and delivery of entertainment and tourism infrastructure in the U.S.

Attendees with little experience in the development and operation of partnerships and alternative delivery models will benefit from our industry experts presenting their knowledge, and valuable insights into market trends crucial for business decisions.

More seasoned professionals will benefit from our incredible networking opportunities, cultivate relationships with project sponsors, and learn new methods to address complex project delivery goals.

AgendaOur 2020 agenda features a broad range of topics specifically tailored to the needs of governments and public agencies evaluating the development of public facilities.
