Krista F. Hill Partner and Co-Head of Infrastructure and Energy Practice Torys LLP Toronto, Canada"The organisation of the event was impeccable which meant the focus of attendees was solely on sharing ideas. The attendees were a great mix from the investors who we work alongside in the space. Query whether more input from Infra debt specialists (on the in-house side) could be helpful."
