Presentations
CDFA has provided the presentations from the 2018 National Development Finance Summit for downloading and review. These presentations have been posted as CDFA has obtained them. Some sessions did not have electronic presentations, therefore, not all sessions are represented.

Please note that, in many cases, the downloadable files are very large and could take a few minutes to open. Due to the size of these files, CDFA is not able to email presentations directly to individuals. Please contact the speaker directly to request an emailed electronic copy, or save the presentations from the CDFA website.
