7th Latin American Leadership Forum Agenda

Agenda

April 27 - 29, 2009 Westin Galleria Hotel Houston, Texas

The 7° Annual Latin American Leadership Forum World-Class Infrastructure in The Americas - The Opportunity is Now! The Americas look set - finally - for a major push in strategic infrastructure project creation. Infrastructure investment programs are underway in all major countries. Central governments are deficit spending to push projects forward. Development banks are participating with technical assistance and funds. New ways of thinking about infrastructure -- ‘mobility’ drivers, ‘inter-modal’ drivers, smart grids and ‘unbundled’ water project development are all creating new projects and new demand for equipment, technology, financing and engineering. NOTE: In this new public finance model a critical role is played by equipment and technology suppliers jointly with trade finance and supplier credit executives. The 7° Annual Latin American Leadership Forum hosts the Top 50 projects in the Americas. The projects offer opportunities over the next 12 months, selected through a rigorous process of discussion with local business and government communities coupled with intense in-house analysis. The structure is fast-paced. Project decisionmakers present their projects to a group of 500+ infrastructure executives, through Rapid project presentations (50 in total, 10 minutes apiece), Pre-scheduled private meetings (up to 15 per registrant, with project developers, sponsors and VIP’s), Keynotes on emerging trends in engineering, finance, mobility, technology, etc. Targeted workshops Special events - welcoming reception, luncheons and breakfasts that allow people to develop rich networks.
