New Orleans 2008
    Investment Conference Schedule

Although we already have a power-packed agenda put together for New Orleans 2008, we are still hard at work firming up and adding to the schedule to make this year's Conference our best ever.

What we know with certainty is that, like past Conferences, New Orleans 2008 will give attendees unparalleled access to the unvarnished opinions and top recommendations of some of the world's most successful investors.

Simply put, no other investment event of its kind offers so many ways to experience and engage with our roster of investment and political luminaries. The core components of this year's schedule include...

• General Sessions: General Sessions form the backbone of the Conference. Attendees spend four days learning about new investment strategies, building a "wide-lens" perspective on the economy and gathering up stock-tips by the bushel. Home to our headline speakers, our main events and our panel discussions, our General Session stage delivers an unmatched blend of financial advice, market intel and political commentary.
  
  
• Panel Discussions: Always one of the Conference's most popular features, our investment panels allow for a broader dialogue among our speakers on major areas of attendee interest. It's a chance to hear our financial and political heavyweights discuss and debate the major trends affecting the markets and the economy as a whole.
  
  
• Workshops: Attendees seeking a more in-depth look at specific investment sectors and vehicles can choose from among the 20-plus workshops put on by our distinguished faculty. Workshops allow attendees to educate themselves on topics ranging from private placements to commodities futures to high-tech investing.
  
  
• Presentation Area Discussions: Held in one of five designated areas in our Exhibit Hall, Presentation Area Discussions provide concise 20-minute presentations on a wide variety of specific investment topics. Like workshops, these events take place in between General Session presentations and are an important component of the Conference's "idea marketplace."
  
  
• Investor Briefings: Investor Briefings also take place in the Exhibit Hall. These brief presentations update attendees on their favorite companies and let them quiz senior management on their plans for the coming year.
  
  
• Corporate Presentation Breakfasts/Lunches: Breakfasts and Lunches allow exhibiting companies to tell their stories in greater detail and to field whatever questions investors may have. A word to the wise: These events tend to book up quickly. Be sure to bring a list of the Corporate Presentation Breakfasts/Lunches you would like to attend with you to the Conference, and then make a beeline for their booths to sign up.

Attendees who take full advantage of these program events leave with a wealth of knowledge that's simply not available to the general investing public.

All by themselves, these nuts-and-bolts components of our schedule make the 2008 New Orleans Investment Conference a must-attend event for serious investors. And it's only going to get better. Keep checking back often for exciting additions to and updates on the New Orleans 2008 schedule.
