We will examine the mechanisms through which returns can be achieved in emerging markets, feasible exit strategies and appropriate routes to liquidity and also look at in-depth case studies of successful returns.

Delegates will be invited to join an open discussion with the Editor-in-Chief of The Economist, John Micklethwait, who will share his views on the consequences of globalisation on political and financial markets around the world.

Other forum highlights include:

• Our interactive audience communication system, which was such a huge success last year.
• A series of technical workshops, focusing on the issues that matter in delivering returns across all emerging markets.
• Unrivalled networking opportunities with panellists, moderators, keynote speakers and fellow delegates throughout the conference and at our hugely popular evening cocktail reception taking place in the stunning atrium of the Landmark Hotel.

Limited partners and institutional investors will also have a unique opportunity to share their views on emerging markets at a closed-door breakfast meeting as well as attending all public sessions at the forum.

The aim of this forum remains consistent with its founding principle: to provide emerging markets practitioners from all over the world with a well-crafted, substantive and relevant programme, featuring the best speakers in a professional setting.

• Corporate management and family owned businesses based or operating in emerging markets
• Development Finance Institutions
