KEYNOTE PERSPECTIVES 8:45 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. Is It Time to Get Back on the Train? Sam Zell usually has the answers. But Peter Linneman will be asking him some tough questions: Where are we? Where are we going? When will deal flows begin again? Their dialogue will frame a day of frank give-and-take about opportunities, risks and rewards that will arise as we try to rebuild market momentum. Speakers Sam Zell, Chairman Equity Group Investments Peter D. Linneman, Ph.D. Albert Sussman Professor of Real Estate The Wharton School of Business
PLENARY SESSION 9:40 a.m. – 10:40 a.m. Deal Making in a Recovering Market A panel with wide focus – development, private equity, retail and REITs – will assess the state of play in the real estate market as buyers and sellers try to reconcile yesterday’s prices with today’s capital issues. Moderator Randall K. Rowe, Chairman Green Courte Partners Speakers Douglas T. Linde, President Boston Properties Roy H. March, CEO Eastdil Secured Richard B. Saltzman, President Colony Capital Martin E. Stein Jr., Chairman & CEO Regency Centers Corporation
CONCURRENT SESSIONS 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Global Investment: Where Are the Dollars Flowing? Driven by a variety of objectives – diversification, long-term value and superior returns – real estate increasingly draws capital across international borders. Which markets are favored today? Our panelists, all of whom are involved in finding and creating above-market value in diverse settings, will share their thoughts about that question. Moderator Dale Anne Reiss, Global & Americas Director of Real Estate Ernst & Young Speakers Cia C. Buckley, Partner Dune Capital Management LP Barbara A. Knoflach, CEO SEB Asset Management AG Marcus Lee, Director, Commerical Operations & Building Projects Nakheel PJSC Tae-Sik Yoon, Managing Director & CFO J.E. Robert Companies
Decoding the Signals from the Retail World Consumer spending has stalled. Gas prices have zoomed. Retail vacancies have increased for 11 straight quarters and retailer bankruptcies are on the rise. Where is it all headed? Leaders of the major shopping center companies in the United States, and those in the know on the capital markets challenges, will sort out the factors shaping the future of the retail market. Moderator Kylie Rampa, Head of Real Estate Capital North America Macquarie Real Estate Speakers John Bucksbaum, Chairman & CEO General Growth Properties Kathleen M. Nelson, President KMN Associates, Inc. Richard S. Sokolov, President & COO Simon Property Group Donald C. Wood, President & CEO Federal Realty Investment Trust
LUNCH AND PRESENTATION 12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. Stay Red? Go Blue? What November 4 Will Tell Us Part of the uncertainty in the market stems from the impending change of control in the executive branch of government. During Summit 2008 exactly six weeks prior to Election Day, you will hear experts from both parties as they evaluate how the outcome of the presidential contest is likely to affect the business climate in the United States and abroad. Moderator Peter C. Roberts, CEO, Americas Jones Lang LaSalle Speakers The Honorable Jack Kemp Former US Secretary of Housing & Urban Development Founder & Chairman Kemp Partners Senator George J. Mitchell, Global Chairman DLA Piper

Moderator Dorothy L. Alpert, US Real Estate Leader Deloitte LLP Speakers John C. Cushman III, Chairman of the Board Cushman & Wakefield Larry P. Heard, President & CEO Transwestern Gregory P. O’Brien, CEO of Brokerage, Americas Jones Lang LaSalle Joseph W. Sprouls, Managing Director Global Head, Citi Realty Services Citigroup, Inc.
Where’s My Promote? For experienced fund sponsors, raising capital is not a problem. But finding the right assets to generate returns for investors is a challenge that has confounded sponsors since mid-2007. We look to leaders of top funds for a diagnosis of the issues facing real estate funds and a prescription for their future. Moderator Stephen R. Quazzo, CEO Transwestern Investment Co. Speakers Marc L. Davidson, Managing Director AEW Capital Management William C. Green, Managing Director Starwood Capital Group Lee S. Neibart, Senior Partner Apollo Real Estate Advisors Daniel G. Goelz, Partner, Investments Capri Capital Partners
CONCURRENT SESSIONS 3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.
The Many Moving Parts of Urban Markets Doing a project in an urban setting is always challenging. Higher construction costs, more diverse competition and, today, the slumping condo market are among the obstacles. But the rewards are greater also. Our panelists have all heard the applause that comes when a neighborhood revives or a city gains a showplace. Moderator Robert B. Bellinger, President ASB Capital Management Speakers Bruce A. Beal, Jr., Executive Vice President Related Companies William H. Hudnut III, Senior Resident Fellow The Urban Land Institute Victor B. MacFarlane, Chairman & CEO MacFarlane Partners Daniel T. McCaffery, President McCaffery Interests
The Office Market: How to be Ready When the Buyers Return Many owners of office properties continue to hold the line on pricing, though there have been relatively few buyers. Some are putting the waiting time to good use with property-improvement programs as a hedge against a market-wide repricing, should that come. Others are using the lull in the market to create “green” projects that may be a driving force in the next cycle. Expect to hear those and other strategies debated by our panel of office-sector thought leaders. Moderator Donald A. Miller, CEO & Director Piedmont Office Realty Trust Speakers Philip A. Belling, Managing Principal LBA Realty Michael H. Newman, President & CEO Golub & Company Leo F. Wells III, President & CEO Wells Real Estate Funds Casey R. Wold, Senior Managing Director Tishman Speyer
PLENARY SESSION 4:40 p.m. - 5:40 p.m. The Outlook for Capital There are signs of a thaw in the credit freeze, as banks begin to offer modest discounts to sell some of the billions of dollars of mortgages and CMBS paper that have jammed their balance sheets and hampered their ability to make fresh loans. Next up? New regulations on investment banks and revised underwriting standards. What are those likely to be? Moderator Bruce R. Cohen, CEO Wrightwood Capital Speakers Lawrence L. Gray, Head of Real Estate Investment Banking & Principal Finance Wachovia Securities Michael J. Graziano, Managing Director Goldman, Sachs & Co. Lonny Henry, Vice Chairman of Investment Banking J.P. Morgan Securities Daniel B. Rubock, Senior Vice President Moody’s Investors Service
