| Dear Fellow CEO, These are unprecedented times to lead a business, but you don’t have to do it alone. Join peer CEOs facing similar challenges and compare notes on how they see the future—and how they are preparing their organizations to thrive. Please join us December 1 at the 2009 CEO2CEO Leadership Summit. Innovative CEOs will share their challenges, solutions, and contingencies. Learn where successful CEOs are finding growth and cost savings, as well as preparing for looming new health legislation, environmental regulations, tax reform, and other shifts. While the pundits and academics will argue about the pace and breadth of an economic recovery, we know that as CEO it falls on you to act today to ensure the effectiveness of your organization--whenever and whatever the environment. That means survival today…and looking ahead for future competitive advantage. The 2009 CEO2CEO Summit will facilitate CEO peer-networking to help you and your organization prepare for any eventuality. Learn best practices from other CEOs and understand what’s working for them (and not working) in a confidential, intimate setting. Our venue will be the private Board and meeting rooms of the incomparable NYSE Euronext. Invest in your development with peer-networking unavailable elsewhere. Please help shape the discussion as we: Rethink how to manage costs Identify growth opportunities Upgrade human capital and corporate culture Build adaptive enterprises Discuss the new role of government in business Understand how leading companies are changing their R&D and innovation strategies Recognize dramatic shifts in marketing and sales techniques Overcome new challenges in customer perceptions and behavior Anticipate changes to global supply chains Exploit the new finance realities Our set agenda will cover a lot of ground, but will also leave time for you to get your thorniest problems discussed. We’ve also scheduled time for ample peer networking. AGENDA 8:30 AM Breakfast hosted by NYSE Euronext WELCOME AND OPENING KEYNOTE What’s Next for Capital Markets - Duncan Niederauer, NYSE Euronext 9:15 AM PANEL DISCUSSION Is Your Organization Ready for Recovery? Questions a CEO Needs to Get Right About His Organization Before Launching a Recovery Strategy When the economic recovery comes—in whatever form or force—companies will need an aligned and motivated workforce together with the right leadership teams in place to take advantage of the opportunity. During the last 18 months companies have had to endure an intense economic downtown followed by operational cost-cutting and devastating layoffs. In addition, markets have been shell-shocked by the public’s mood of “what’s-in-it-for-me” cynicism. This comes after CEOs generally have been excoriated by politicians about their pay. Merely having survived the downtown doesn’t mean one is automatically poised to capitalize on a recovery. Some are more ready than others and the unprepared may find themselves rudely surprised when adversaries steal a march. - William V. Hickey, Chairman and CEO, Sealed Air - Jerre Stead, Chairman & CEO, IHS - Robert Nardelli, Cerberus Operations and Advisory Co. 10:15 AM BREAK 10:30 AM CONCURRENT ROUNDTABLES How the Globalization Game Is Changing: Assessing Growth and Risk In the next 10 years China could represent up to 25 percent of world trade. But the days of export driven growth are drawing to a close. The controversy over tire imports from China is but a tip of the iceberg in the changing landscape of global markets. Free trade is yielding to managed trade and managed market access, whatever it may be called officially. This means the growth and risk dynamics for companies operating in world markets is in flux. No longer needing capital, China, for example, seeks to move up the value chain and advance its own champions, such as Huawei Technologies—beneficiary of a $10 billion government loan. Does this mean that China is pulling the welcome mat away in terms of acquisitions? India, on the other hand, is trying develop its infrastructure in order to improve its manufacturing base. But even here the dynamics are changing. Both markets will be tougher to operate in if one is not already a committed player. Still 75 percent of world trade will lie outside of these areas. What will be the new rules for successful competitors in world markets as the dynamics of trade and market access shift in the coming years? - Gene Huang, Chief Economist, FedEx - Anil Gupta, Professor of Management, Smith School of Business, University of Maryland - Haiyan Wang, Managing Director, China-India Institute - Robert Lawrence Kuhn, Advisory Council, Citigroup, NA 12:30 PM LUNCHEON KEYNOTE Microtrends With Major Business Implications - Mark Penn, CEO, Burson-Marsteller and author of Microtrends: The Small Forces Changing the World 1:30 PM CONCURRENT ROUNDTABLES Leveraging Leadership to Improve Innovation: What CEOs Can Do More than half the respondents in a recent McKinsey survey said that innovation is more important now than before the economic downturn. Those with the highest hopes for the future are focusing on it. Often, however, the missing element in institutionalizing an effective innovation strategy is the way in which it is led. Building innovation into the DNA of an organization involves disciplines that require different ways of thinking about people and processes. This roundtable discussion centers on how different market leaders lead their organizations in delivering game-changing innovation for their customers and what CEOs can do to ensure that the right capabilities are in place to do this consistently. Central to the discussion are ways to rethink innovation discipline in order to balance the need for near-term return on investment with longer term growth. - Dr. Peter Temes, Founder and President, Innovation Leadership Institute - William Nuti, Chairman & CEO, NCR New CEO; New Board Relationship What Are the New Rules of the Road in a Post Recovery World? This roundtable will focus on how the stakes have changed in how CEOs and boards manage expectations and build on strengths and strategy for the future. For the past 18 months companies have been focusing on keeping the company whole and avoiding catastrophe. As one CEO said recently, “Being down 10 percent is the new flat.” But the pressure on leaders has not gone away. In fact, as the recovery comes into view and takes force there may be pressure to make up for lost ground, putting CEOs in a tight spot. Boards, for example, now appear to be “road-testing” potential leaders as COO or CFO before giving them the wheel; 15 percent of new insider CEOs were auditioned, meaning they joined the company they now lead within the past three years. In addition, internal talent that was hunkered down in bad times has a way of jumping ship when times and opportunities look promising. - Paul Winum, RHR International 2:45 PM BREAK 3:10 PM PANEL DISCUSSION The Impact of Health Reform on Business - Ralph de la Torre, President and CEO Caritas Christi Health Care - Kent Thiry, CEO, DaVita 4:45 PM GUEST SPEAKER Growth Challenges in a More Regulated World - Lloyd Blankfein, CEO, Goldman Sachs (invited) 5:30 - 8:00 PM NETWORKING COCKTAIL RECEPTION What: 11th Annual CEO2CEO Leadership Summit When: December 1, 2009 Where: NYSE Euronext, 20 Broad St., New York NY Who: You and Your CEO peers Special offer: Register using source code "earlyc2c" and receive a 33% discount off the $1500 registration fee -- save over $500 on this limited-time offer!
