True to the motto “From supporting role to taking the lead”, the Development and Agency
Finance Conference 2010 in Washington addresses the changing role of agency finance
experienced over the last 18 months. SGS is a silver sponsor of this day event from June

Organized by Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC, the conference is an annual meeting
place for borrowers, financiers and advisors in development and agency finance.

title Risk management: project risk assessment and strategies for risk mitigation. He will
discuss topics such as the appropriate level of due diligence at the feasibility stage, how
