P3C

What P3C does

P3C (operating as P3C Media and The P3 Conference) is a B2B conference brand and the national Public-Private Partnership infrastructure event, operated by privately held parent company Access Intelligence, LLC. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Potomac, Maryland, P3C runs an annual three-day conference in Dallas, Texas aggregating 1,000+ delegates, 100+ speakers, and 20+ sessions across transportation, energy, community-based infrastructure, higher education, sustainability, and technology verticals. Its audience is roughly 30-40% public-sector project owners (state DOTs, federal agencies, transit authorities, airports, universities) balanced with private-sector developers, investors, contractors, legal advisors, and consultants — a two-sided mix that the company describes as unique in the U.S. market.

Revenue is generated through three streams: tiered attendee registration (general audience $1,495-$2,295, government/public agency $395-$595), premium turnkey kiosk sponsorships ($6,000-$6,500), and enterprise sponsorship/exhibit packages sold to firms seeking public-sector access. Registration runs through the Swoogo third-party event-management platform, supplemented by telephone and group sales. The company leverages its parent Access Intelligence's portfolio — Healthcare Project Delivery, Convention/Sports & Entertainment Facilities, P3 Higher Education Summit, and P3 Government Conference — for cross-promotion and vertical expansion. Strategic partnerships with the U.S. DOT Build America Bureau, Build America Center, P3 Bulletin, GIIA, IPFA, YPI, and Orrick provide co-produced content, federal-level participation, and emerging-professional programming.

Technology is intentionally light: a standard web-based event platform (Swoogo), an owned website (thep3conference.com), email newsletters, and video testimonials. There is no proprietary software, AI/ML capability, or app ecosystem. Leadership comprises CEO Jennifer Schwartz, VP of Infrastructure Sandra McQuain, Brand Director Sarah Zinn, Marketing Director Beth Wagner, and a small operational team supporting the conference cycle.

Different pricing tiers exist for general audience ($1,495-$2,295), government/public agency attendees ($395-$595), and turnkey kiosk options ($6,000-$6,500). Early registration discounts incentivize advance sign-ups.
2. Sponsorship and Exhibitor Packages: Private sector companies pay to sponsor or exhibit at the conference to gain visibility and access to public sector decision-makers. Sponsorship packages support visibility, thought leadership, and direct audience engagement with owners and infrastructure leaders.
3. Group Registration Sales: Organizations sending 4 or more attendees receive group discounts, creating volume-based revenue from corporate and agency teams.
