Background

The NAVCA CORE Conference was a chance for NAVCA members’ chief officers to discuss the outcomes of the 2010 general election and its repercussions for infrastructure organisations.

A major theme of the event was to try and find ways that infrastructures can turn the looming funding crisis into an opportunity.

If you missed out, or just want to remind yourself of some of the themes that emerged from the event, our podcast presents the thoughts of the main speakers and many of the delegates.
