Tuesday 13th March | 0900 | Registration & Coffee | 0930 | Welcome and Opening Remarks
Richard Curtis, TiLE
Richard Parry, Head of Promotion, UK Trade & Investment | CENTRAL/EASTERN EUROPE & FRANCE
Chaired by Bart Dohmen, Managing Director, BRC Imagination Arts BV | 0945 | Opportunities and the way to do business in France in the attractions industry
Evelyne Villame, Consultant, France (and formerly Parc Astérix)
Many leisure design and product companies outside of France consider it as a market in which it is almost impossible to offer their skills and products and do business. However there are opportunities for non-French companies but they need to understand how to do business in France. | 1015 | Opportunities and new leisure projects in Central & Eastern Europe
Silke Petzold, Senior Consultant, Wenzel Consulting AG, Germany
This presentation will review new projects in the region and will highlight the Retail Entertainment Centre market, which is growing rapidly and showing investors high rates of return. Also, addressed are Casinos, which are providing new leisure destinations and are doing particularly well in Russia and Romania. The Multiplex Cinema market is still a growing market, as is the water park / public swimming pools market, and major international operators are entering the holiday parks' market. | 1045 | Break | 1115 | Delivering international expertise locally
Dominic Tweddle, Chief Executive, Continuum Group
Why the Continuum Group made the decision to set up a satellite office in the region (Tallinn, Estonia), primarily to tap into an emerging EU funding stream for new EU members, and how to make a profit out of the venture. However, the company quickly came to the conclusion that different countries in the region need different solutions. | 1135 | Opportunities in Russia
Lesley Morisetti, Director, Economics Research Associates
Having discussed the demographics of Russia and how they are impacting the leisure market, Lesley Morisetti will talk about projects in Russia specifically attractions, retail developments and mixed use developments. | 1155 | Poland - Champion or Challenge
Jeroen Nijpels, Managing Director, JN Entertainment & Leisure Consultancy, Luxembourg and Poland
As the largest country of the ten new members that joined the EU in 2004, Poland represents many opportunities for leisure developments. With a population of close to 40 million people, there is sufficient scale, but is the country ready to become a "champion" in Europe or are the challenges larger than expected? This presentation will cover new projects; the challenges of working in this market; what is the demand for western expertise; and will draw out the lessons that can be learned. | 1215 | Panel Discussion - all the morning's speakers. Delegates will be invited to share their experiences. | 1245 | Lunch | | MIDDLE EAST
Chaired by Juliana Delaney, Director, Continuum Group | 1345 | Opportunities and new leisure projects in the Middle East

Using Trade Arabia's extensive network in the region, Tara Culhane will highlight leisure projects in the area that offer opportunities to developers, designers and suppliers of leisure attractions. | 1410 | Planning and Design business in the Gulf
Adam Sanders, Business Development Manager, Planning and Design Consulting, The Natural History Museum, London, and Project Manager, Restless Planet, Dubai
Adam Sanders has 9 years of experience at The Natural History Museum, where he has been involved in business activities abroad notably in Europe the Middle East & Asia. He is now Business Development Manager for the museum's recently formed Planning and Design Consulting department and is the Museum's internal Project Manager for the Restless Planet project in Dubai.

Derek Johnson, Managing Partner - Middle East, Davis Langdon LLP
With offices in Bahrain, Doha, Dubai, Beirut and Cairo and, soon to open, office in Abu Dhabi, Davis Langdon can reflect on its experiences of supplying quality professional services to this currently very active business region for 53 years. Each country and sovereign state dictates its own tailored business response with a differing mix of staff nationalities, differing cost base and differing value and project perspectives. Derek Johnson will use Davis Langdon's Middle East project portfolio to exemplify the scale, quality and speed of schemes but also the internationalism of this market that draws designers, contractors and suppliers from all over the world. Projects such as The Grand Egyptian Museum, HSBC HQ building in Cairo, Beirut's Solidere Restoration, The Hyatt in Beirut, Education City for Qatar Foundation, GE building in Doha, Lulu Island on Bahrain's Manama Cornice, The Al-Areen mixed use development, Dubai's Mall of the Emirates, fitting out for Dubai's expanding range of financial providers and The Great Wheel Project, which is larger than the London Eye. | 1500 | Break | 1530 | Dubai and its influence on the Middle East attractions market
Jessica Mello, Senior Associate, Economics Research Associates
Dubai is at the forefront of exciting new entertainment and real estate developments, but is the growth sustainable and what are the impacts for the region? Jessica Mello will discuss the future potential for Dubai and the wider Gulf region, examine the scale of development, its impact and consider the implications on the leisure and tourism sector, for both customers and suppliers. | 1600 | Both sides of the story - working on projects in the Middle East
Steve Simons, Creative Director, Event Communications Ltd and Ray Hole, Managing Director, RH Architects

TEA Mixer for 2nd TiLEzone London
Monday 12th March 2007 London Eye
Leader Bar London Marriott Hotel County Hall The London Eye is one on the most successful commercial tourist attractions in the capital, if not the country, and much praised internationally. As an appetiser for this 2nd TiLEzone London, which is on Tuesday 13th March 2007 at the DTI Conference Centre, TEA offers an exclusive opportunity to meet David Sharpe, MD of Dubai-owned Tussaud's world famous London Eye and take a 'spin' in a private capsule. There are only 24 places reserved on a first, come first served basis. As if the spin and the evening view of the city are not incentive enough, TEA members and guests will have the opportunity to talk to David about the Eye's sustained success and its future plans. TiLEzone attendees, TEA members and guests are invited to meet for a drinks mixer at the Leader Bar in the Marriott Hotel County Hall after the London Eye ride. The south bank near County Hall has a selection of good restaurants near by from Chez Gerard to Pizza Express; an initial table for 10 has been booked at Pizza Express at 9.15pm, this venue has been chosen so that more can join the meal in this informal setting. The evening's events have been arranged to attract TEA members, guests and those attending the 2nd TiLEzone London and to maximise time and opportunity to meet, talk and MIX. | 1830hrs | London Eye private spin - BOOKING WITH
