OIC Forum on Infrastructure Innovation

2025 OIC Forum on Infrastructure Innovation
OIC takes great pride in our investments and their role in shaping the future of innovative infrastructure. We value being part of a community of industry leaders focused on advancing technological, environmental and social innovation in infrastructure.
To foster forward-looking conversation on these topics, in 2023 we hosted a small group of partners, friends and other sector experts in Newport, Rhode Island. In 2024, we invited a similar group to Atlanta, Georgia.
The feedback from these gatherings has been so positive, we’re doing it again.
We’re pleased to invite you to join us for the third annual OIC Forum on Infrastructure Innovation, in Denver, Colorado, on September 24-26, 2025.
Accommodations, meals and entertainment will be provided by OIC at Populus, the country’s first carbon-negative hotel.
As those of you who attended in the past can attest, this is not a “Conference”! This is a forum for a wide range of views from all angles of infrastructure investing, focused on driving social and environmental innovation. Please join us ready to dig in, speak up, and help build our community as we explore common ground for innovation in infrastructure.
We’ll be sharing more details in the weeks ahead. And, if you have any questions in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to contact me (Gerrit@OIC.com) or Oriana Brut-Christensen (Oriana@OIC.com).
I look forward to seeing you in Denver!
Gerrit Nicholas
