Welcome to the 8th Timberland Investment World Summit
IQPC’s 8th Timberland Investment World Summit will convene on October 27-29, 2010 in New York, NY. This is the definitive annual meeting for the entire timberland investments value chain including pension funds, hedge funds, endowments, family offices, TIMOs, REITs, forestry management companies, paper and forest products companies, law firms, and banks.
Attendees will spend three information-packed days in New York City, gaining a thorough understanding of every aspect of the timberland investing process, including appraisal and valuation, harvest optimization, yield enhancement, and strategies for maximizing returns through ancillary revenue streams.
Topics under discussion at the 8th Timberland Investment World Summit will include:
- How will you make the most of international prospects for timberland investments in non-traditional, new and emerging markets like China, Africa and Eastern Europe?
- What are the macroeconomic perspectives for the future of global demand for wood products?
- How can I optimize my investment by doubling, tripling and even quadrupling productivity through improved land management?
- What are the cash flow-generation opportunities represented by ecosystem services, carbon schemes and the market in woody biomass?
- How do I select between TIMOs and is the TIMO model right in all markets?
- What is the impact of biotechnology on future timber yields and growth rates?
- How can you accurately forecast supply and demand for the short-, medium- and long-term?
- How do you determine the real valuation of timber given the discrepancies in buyer vs. seller perceptions?
