December 10th – 12th, 2008

Washington, DC | Mayflower Hotel

The 2° Annual Global Infrastructure Leadership Forum

The Champions That Are Remaking Our World
By hosting the Top 100 Projects from around the world, the Global Infrastructure Leadership Forum creates a
catalytic opportunity for those projects to move forward. The projects that CG/LA's staff, advisors, and sponsors
select are shaping the world's competitive environment. Project decision-makers present their projects to a group of
400+ global executives, in a fast-paced format that includes rapid project presentations, pre-scheduled private
meetings, and targeted workshops. Participants come from three macro business sectors: engineering and
construction, equipment and technology, and finance. Projects offer business opportunities within the next 3 to 12
months. The Leadership Forum is focused on making projects happen, on improving project quality, and on
decreasing the needed time to achieve financing. Each registrant has the opportunity to pre-schedule 15 private
meetings with project presenters, sponsors and/or other attendees.
