Senior executives from the entire timberlands value chain will be meeting to discuss critical themes including the changing global market, institutional timberland investment strategies and cashflow generation opportunities.  Exciting innovations this year include the Pension & Endowment Fund Think Tank and an Interactive roundtable discussion on key international timberland markets.   Offering a strictly off-line and off the record discussion, the exclusive hour-long Pension & Endowment Fund Think Tank is limited to participants from pension and endowment funds.  Attendees are invited to bring a specific and current topic of interest or challenge to discuss with their peers, and can be related to portfolio optimization strategies, market timing, access strategies or risk management for timberland investments.

The Global Investment Picture for Timberland interactive roundtable discussion serves as a forum for delegates to receive detailed information on the markets in which they are most interested.  Key international timberland markets will include Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Russia, South Africa and Uruguay.

Other topics covered at the event include forest biotechnology, high yield forestry techniques, the role of IT in the timberland appraisal process and C-Level perspectives on the future of the TIMO, featuring the CEOs of Timbervest, RMK, and the Campbell Group.  For full complete session topics in the agenda, the brochure is available at http://www.timberlandinvestmentsummit.com/.

• Chip Dillon, Managing Director, Credit Suisse (A Top 3 Paper Analyst!)
• Sandy LaBaugh, Director of Alternative Investments, TIAA-CREF

• Sue Ryan Goodman, Portfolio Manager, Real Estate & Timber, APG Investments
