3 Dear Colleague, No two issues have greater long-term implications for the development of corporate real estate strategies than the increasing globalization of business structures and the growing importance of sustainable business practices in managing corporate growth and development. The challenges of global commerce and sustainable business development often take center stage in discussions about the direction of corporate strategy and the mining of opportunities for growth. But consideration of how these critical issues interact and their dual impact on business practices is far less frequent. Corporate real estate professionals are at the epicenter of that interaction. Decisions on global location, workplace creation and management have far-reaching implications for the agility of businesses to build the external relationships and internal flexibility they need to set, move toward and achieve strategic goals. The Conference Board s 2006 Corporate Real Estate Conference will explore this key relationship between global commerce and the growing movement toward sustainable real estate practices. \ We believe these issues are at the cutting edge of corporate strategy, and understanding where they meet and where they can break down will help corporate real estate executives take a leadership role in achieving growth and stability at a time when concerns about economic and political uncertainty, both at home and abroad, present formidable challenges for decision-makers. We hope you ll join us at The Waldorf=Astoria Hotel in Manhattan on October 30-31, 2006, for our intimate, high-level peer discussions featuring leading professionals and practitioners for The Conference Board s 2006 Corporate Real Estate Conference, Globalization, Sustainable Development and the Corporate Real Estate Mission. We look forward to seeing you this October for an intense interactive and open exploration of these issues at the heart of business and industry. Sincerely, Peter Slatin Conference Program Director The Conference Board
