               ***Session Overview:*** This session will provide you with the
               insights and direction you need to take advantage of lucrative
               opportunities in a growing number of sectors in Kazakhstan,
               Russia, Turkey and Ukraine.  Learn why Kazakhstan continues as
               one of Central Asia\'s most successful economies; how Russia\'s
               bilateral trade agreement impacts over 100 sectors of its
               economy; how to utilize Turkey\'s strategic position at the
               crossroads of Europe, Asia and the Middle East; and why Ukraine
               continues to be a pivotal market bordering Europe, Russia, and
               the Middle East.

               **Session B** **- Regionalization in the Nordics**  **(Denmark,
               Finland, Norway and Sweden)**

               ***Session Overview:***  The Nordic countries\--Denmark, Finland,
               Norway, and Sweden\--are among the most dynamic and prosperous in
               the world, but their markets and untapped potential are often
               overlooked by American businesses.  With highly educated,
               affluent, English-speaking consumers and positive perceptions of
               America, the Nordic region has a story worth telling.  CS has
               established an easy one-stop-shopping approach to this market of
               24.2 million persons with combined economies of more than \$1
               trillion (larger than those of Spain, Canada, Mexico and India),
               per capita GDP of \$42,000 (equal to that of the United States),
               high and evenly distributed disposable income, high economic
               growth (exceeding the U.S. and the European average), and
               transparent, efficient societies.  The Nordics are number one on
               the world\'s lists of most competitive, high-tech, and
               transparent economies.  There are more multinationals per capita
               than in any other region in the world; selling to the Nordics can
               translate into selling to the world.  Nokia, Ericsson, Statoil,
               Novoenzymes, Norsk Hydro, Absolute, ABB, Konecranes, AstraZeneca,
               Volvo, Saab, Hydro, Wartsila, and Telenor are just some of the
               firms representing business opportunities with multinationals.  
               Come and learn about how easy it is to reach this great market.

               **Session C - Opportunities in Sub Saharan Africa**

               ***Session Overview:***  The African Growth and Opportunity Act
               (AGOA), privatizations of African state-owned enterprises and
               other market forces have created tangible incentives for
               Sub-Saharan African countries.  This session will also highlight
               how South Africa can offer a stepping-stone into Sub-Saharan
               Africa and realistic views on how you can tap into the
               established and prosperous export markets in Ghana, Kenya,
               Nigeria and Senegal.

               **Session D - Globalization:  Be Open, but Protective -
               Intellectual Property Rights**

               ***Session Overview:***  Globalization and the rapid
               proliferation of technology have elevated the importance of
               intellectual property protection (IPR) for U.S. companies.  The
               intangible nature of intellectual property and the worldwide
               inconsistency of standard practices create challenges for U.S.
               businesses wishing to protect their inventions, brands, and
               business methods in foreign markets.  This session will give you
               an understanding of the IPR issues in the European Union.

               **Session E** **- Important Trends:  Capitalizing on Europe\'s
               Evolving IT/Telecom Market**

               ***Session Overview:***  Europe offers excellent opportunities in
               this dynamic sector for U.S. companies who have done their
               homework and identified a demand for their product or service. 
               U.S. information technologies are the reference standard, and
               market receptivity is particularly high for computer hardware,
               software, and components, networking solutions, and fixed,
               wireless, and satellite-based mobile telecommunications.  If you
               are new to the European market, you will need to know how and
               where to start.  The IT sector touches many other end-use
               industries.  Learn from the experts about these major
               opportunities and then make the decision if you are happy with
               your sales.

               **Session F -** **EU Rules and Resources Generate U.S.
               Environmental Opportunities**

               ***Session Overview:***  Europe represents one-third of the
               world\'s \$550 billion and growing environmental market and is
               the U.S.\'s largest environmental technologies (ET) export
               market.  European Union (EU) environmental regulations are some
               of the toughest in the world and get more stringent each year. 
               U.S. technology is needed to cost efficiently meet many EU
               standards.  The EU is offering \$4.2 billion in cohesion funds to
               new EU members to help them achieve EU environmental standards. 
               U.S. companies are eligible to compete for this funding.  The
               EU\'s environmental technologies market, therefore, represents
               one of our most significant under-penetrated export markets. 
               This session will explore the vast opportunities in Europe as
               well as discuss the business opportunities for your environmental
               products and services.

               ***Session Overview:*** Europe\'s market for generation and
               distribution of all forms of energy is being liberalized,
               presenting significant opportunities for U.S. providers of
               technology, equipment and other inputs.  U.S. firms and their
               highly sought after products and services will find themselves to
               be very competitive.  Europe\'s energy needs are growing, and you
               cannot afford to miss this session to learn about these
               tremendous market opportunities.

               **Session H - Emerging Energy Markets for
               Alternatives/Renewable**

               ***Session Overview:***  The European Commission\'s strategy
               calls for a doubling of renewable energies in gross domestic
               energy consumption in the European Union by 2010 (from the
               present 6% to 12%) including a timetable of actions to achieve
               this objective in the form of an Action Plan.  This session will
               explore the alternative energy markets across Europe with a focus
               on the opportunities in Sweden, the Nordics, as well as Central
               and Eastern Europe.

               **Session I - The European Aerospace and Defense Industry: 
               Integrated Approach to the 21st Century**

               ***Session Overview:***  Europe offers exceptional opportunities
               for U.S. companies in the aerospace and defense industries.  For
               the tenth consecutive year, the value of aircraft outweighed
               industry revenues (deliverables) continuing to show the long-term
               growth of this market.  The continued weakness of the dollar
               vis-a-vis the euro, a willingness on the part of procurement
               executives to purchase in dollars, and increased production rates
               offer excellent opportunities for U.S. aerospace companies.  Many
               OEM and equipment manufacturers have adopted a \"U.S. dollar\"
               strategy for existing and new programs to take advantage of the
               cost savings offered by the exchange rate.  Equally, Europe is
               one of the world\'s major defense markets and is characterized by
               its requirement for sophisticated equipment and services, its
               emphasis on competition and market openness, and its
               encouragement of close working relationships between industry and
               government (MoD).  By attending this session, you will learn
               about the best market opportunities for U.S. aerospace firms.

               European Union:  Prepare NOW for REACH; CE Mark; Metric
               Labeling**

               ***Session Overview:***  This session will provide an overview of
               the latest developments with EU rules and regulations, including
               Energy Using Products Directive, metric labeling, CE Mark, and
               the new EU chemical regulation - REACH.  REACH is not just about
               chemicals.  If your products are made with chemicals, contain
               chemicals, or have chemicals in their components (just about
               everything) and you export or want to export to Europe, then
               REACH could apply to you.  REACH starts taking effect June 1
               throughout the EU.  You need to start getting ready for REACH
               now.

               **Session K - EU Accession/Who & What is Next and What Does It
               Mean for U.S. Businesses?**

               ***Session Overview:***  The entry of Bulgaria and Romania on 1
               January 2007 marks an historic achievement with the EU welcoming
               30 million new consumers.  After six years of preparation, their
               accession marks the completion of the sixth EU enlargement. 
               Today, the largest foreign investor in Bulgaria is a U.S.
               company, and the largest portfolio investor in Bulgaria is a U.S.
               firm.  Bilateral trade between the two countries continues to
               break records.  The signing of the U.S.-Bulgarian Defense
               Cooperation Agreement provided further evidence of the deepening
               of the strategic political and military partnership between the
               two countries.  This year promises even greater trade and
               investment achievements.  While the domestic market is relatively
               small, Bulgaria is an excellent launching pad for sales into the
               EU, Russia, Turkey and the Middle East.  Romania has experienced
               7 consecutive years of economic expansion.  2007 promises more of
               the same, thanks to an economy driven by a broadly balanced mix
               of consumption and investment.  Romania\'s economy has matured
               into a dynamic, mostly private sector marketplace growing at a
               rapid clip, while continuing to adapt to changing
               conditions.  Croatia and Serbia are on the threshold of
               membership in the EU.  Croatia, a nation of some 4.5 million
               inhabitants, is both a Central European and a Mediterranean
               country.  As one of the largest markets in the region, second
               only to Romania, Serbia and Montenegro has undertaken aggressive
               reform programs with the intent to re-establish the country as a
               regional center and crossroads.  All major road, rail, water, and
               even air routes traverse Serbia and Montenegro, connecting Europe
               with Southeast Europe, Turkey, Greece and the Middle East.  Join
               this session to learn why you should consider these markets as
               part of your Pan European export platforms.

               **Session L - Heart of High Tech Europe:  Austria, Germany,
               Ireland and Switzerland **

               ***Session Overview:***  The heart of high tech Europe
               constitutes some of the wealthiest, most populous,
               technologically advanced and, now, the most centrally located,
               block of countries within the EU which serves as the springboard
               for many U.S. companies in their expansion throughout the entire
               European market.  The area is now experiencing significant
               economic growth and presents major opportunities for an entire
               range of high-end, sophisticated products and technologies to
               both the consumer and industrial marketplace.  Most of the
               world\'s leading trade shows in the high tech sectors take place
               here, such as MEDICA and CEBIT, to name just a few, and
               offer U.S. companies unparalleled platforms for doing business
               with the world.  U.S. companies with advanced technologies and
               solutions in an array of industries should consider the markets
               of Austria, Germany, Ireland and Switzerland, which offer an
               attractive, transparent business environment with excellent
               infrastructure, a highly trained workforce, 21st century
               industries, and both sophisticated buyers and corporate partners
               with global connections.  The panel will discuss these many
               opportunities and how American products and services find high
               acceptance in these markets.

               **Session M -** **The Dynamic Bridges to  Europe:  Belgium,
               France, The Netherlands and United Kingdom**

               ***Session Overview:***  Join this session to learn about the
               \"Gateway to Europe\".  France and the U.S. are long-standing,
               close allies.  Despite occasional differences of views, the U.S.
               and France work together on a broad range of trade, security and
               geopolitical issues.  France is the world\'s sixth largest
               economy with a population of 63 million showing a high disposable
               income of USD 32,153 per capita.  The Netherlands is a key center
               within the global business network with an advanced
               infrastructure geared towards the transportation of goods, people
               and electronic data.  Its core distribution points include
               Rotterdam, the world\'s second largest port, and Amsterdam
               Schiphol Airport, the fourth largest passenger and third largest
               cargo airport in Europe.  The Dutch are traders by nature - the
               Netherlands has a variety of experienced importers, sales agents,
               and distributors well versed in international trade.  Belgium is
               a highly developed and densely populated country centrally
               located at the \"heart\" of Europe.  Belgium offers an excellent
               infrastructure specifically geared towards re-export and
               transportation of goods, people and electronic data, resulting in
               a greater need and receptivity towards imports.  The level of
               bilateral trade and investment between the U.S. and UK is strong
               and growing.  Both governments work to institute policies that
               will foster economic growth, encourage innovation and
               entrepreneurship, and promote free trade and fair competition.

               ***Session Overview:  ***Join us during this session to learn
               about the many resources available to help finance your

               **Session O - Information Technology Market in Sub-Saharan
               Africa**

               ***Session Overview:***  The sub-Saharan Africa market for
               information and communication technology is a lucrative and
               growing one.  The South African ICT sector is the continent\'s
               most advanced sector in terms of technology and service
               delivery.  The IT sector alone was worth roughly \$7.48 billion
               in 2005, up 23 percent from total revenues of \$6.07 billion in
               2004.  Nigeria is the fastest growing telecommunications market
               in all of Africa.  It offers U.S. suppliers of mobile
               communications handsets and accessories a growth opportunity for
               trade and investment.  Kenya\'s information services industry has
               a growing audio-visual services sector, relatively modern postal
               and courier services, a highly advanced broadcasting and
               telecommunications sector, and a robust publishing industry.
