Forum Itinerary

09.00	Morning Coffee & Continental Breakfast
09.30	Welcome Address
09.45	PRESENTATION 1: A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall?
	Christoph Rosenberg (Senior Representative Central Europe & Baltic States, International Monetary Fund) Will we, won't we - amid wildly conflicting views from economists, editors and other acclaimed experts across the globe, is there anybody that really knows what's going on around here? Will the USA and Europe experience a recession, if so how deep it could it be, and what are the likely implications for the CEE markets? Or is it all just a storm in a teacup?
10.10	Round table panel discussion & Q&A
10.30	PRESENTATION 2: Dizzy (My Head is Spinning)
	Timo Tschammler (Managing Director International Investment, DTZ Developers are being hit from all sides with unstable currencies, fluctuating energy and commodity prices and cost/supply of labour, not to mention scarcity of debt finance and rising cap rates - but are strong local currencies, lower leverage levels and underlying economic catch-up providing some respite for CEE operators, or with many having roots in USA and Western Europe is it just a matter of time before the cold winds come? And is all this taking their eye off more strategic issues like energy efficiency and sustainability?
10.55	Round table panel discussion & Q&A
11.15	Tea/Coffee Break
11.45	PRESENTATION 3: Winds of Change
	Walter Hampel (Senior Director EMEA, Hypo Real Estate Group) Talk of the "credit crunch" is already old hat, bankers are now spinning the line that "things have changed, the days of easy credit have gone forever" - but what are the details behind this statement, what are these new criteria, and do different markets and different operators get different treatment or is it now one rule for all? Or are banks just buying time before rolling out the next credit line to make up recent losses?
12.10	Round table panel discussion & Q&A
12.30	PRESENTATION 4: Somewhere Over the Rainbow
	Daniel Harris (Head of Acquisitions Central & Eastern Europe, MGPA) What do investors think about all this hullaballoo? Are they at all bothered from the point of view of portfolio disposals and supply lines of new product, or are they just kicking back and licking their lips at all the bargains likely to drop into their laps? Is this a good time to start tightening the screws on green credentials of pipe-line product with an eye on future gains?
12.55	Round table panel discussion & Q&A
13.15	Closing Remarks
13.30-14.30	LUNCHEON / Press launch of the 6th CEE Quality Awards programme for performance & achievement in Central & Eastern European real estate in 2008
