Expect frank sessions on infrastructure timelines, an honest look at what has slipped and why, and a closing panel where the audience — not the moderator — sets the questions.

Who you will hear from.
A deliberately small panel. We would rather have five people who can answer follow-up questions than fifteen who can only deliver a script.
