Golf Day – Wednesday, May 27, 2009 A special opportunity for a limited number of conference attendees to mix a round of golf with a round of networking at The Links of Glen Eagles in Cochrane, Alberta (http://www.gleneaglesgolf.com). This ridgeline course was designed by Les Furber, one of Canada’s most legendary architects, known for turning stunning sites into spectacular golf holes. Bus transfer to and from the Hyatt Regency, departing the hotel at 6:00 a.m. and returning at 3:00 p.m. Registration fee for the golf is $183.50, which includes green fees, power cart, bus transfers and food and beverage. Limited spots have been secured this year and you need to register by April 27, 2009, as remaining spots are open for public play after that date. To arrange club rentals, contact the Pro Shop directly at 403-932-1100. Cost for rentals is $35 + GST $1.75 = $36.75. This should be done by April 27, 2009. If you are interested in a specific foursome grouping, please note your team mates at the time of registration to [email protected], alternatively, groupings will be done randomly.

Business icons have come crashing down and governments have ramped up spending plans while central banks have flooded capital markets with huge amounts of liquidity. Naturally enough, many eyes are turned to venture capital and to private equity.
