P3C Media and WAPPP Announce Strategic Partnership Ahead of the 2027 P3C Conference & Expo
The World Association for Public-Private Partnerships Joins the 15th Annual P3C Conference & Expo as an Official Partner, March 15–17, 2027 in Dallas, TX
ROCKVILLE, MD, [September 3, 2026] – P3C Media, a division of Access Intelligence, and WAPPP (the World Association for Public-Private Partnerships) today announced a strategic partnership that will bring an unprecedented level of global expertise and thought leadership to the 2027 P3 Conference & Expo, taking place March 15–17, 2027 at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel.
As the P3C Conference & Expo celebrates its 15th year, the partnership reflects P3C Media’s ongoing commitment to curating the most authoritative, forward-looking program in the infrastructure industry. WAPPP’s deep knowledge of international best practices, emerging trends, and proven partnership models will enrich the conference experience for attendees, giving public officials, project owners, developers, investors, and advisers access to the global intelligence they need to advance P3s in their own markets.
For attendees, the partnership means a richer, more globally informed conference experience — with WAPPP contributing thought leadership on industry trends, international best practices, innovative delivery models, and lessons learned from P3 programs around the world. For WAPPP members, P3C represents a premier gateway into the U.S. community of PPP practitioners and an opportunity to engage directly with the public officials and private sector leaders driving America’s infrastructure agenda.
Now in its 15th year, the P3 Conference & Expo is the trusted national platform where the infrastructure community comes together to learn, connect, and do business. As P3C continues to evolve its programming to reflect the realities of a rapidly changing market, partnerships like this one are central to delivering the caliber of content and conversation that attendees have come to expect.
“Partnering with WAPPP is a natural extension of what we’ve been building at P3C for 15 years. The U.S. P3 market doesn’t operate in a vacuum. The most innovative ideas and the most experienced practitioners are global. Bringing WAPPP’s network into the P3C ecosystem gives our attendees access to a level of international perspective and expertise they won’t find anywhere else.” — Sarah Zinn, Brand Director, P3C Media”
“WAPPP is excited at the opportunity to collaborate with P3C Media and the North American Community of PPP practitioners. WAPPP relishes the opportunity to introduce a global perspective on the procurement and implementation of PPP projects in North America. This collaboration reflects WAPPP’s mission as a multi-stakeholder network focused on bringing public-private partnership professionals from PPP Units, infrastructure agencies, long-term investors and PPP consultants from around the world together. We look forward to the opportunity to discuss the latest PPP trends and challenges, share experiences, and find solutions in a spirit of open innovation at the Dallas 2027 P3C Conference and Expo – Davd Baxter, Chair of the North American Chapter of WAPPP”
