A Note from the CEO Dear Corporate Real Estate Colleague: Improving on excellence is never easy, and the success of the CoreNet Global Spring Summit in Chicago in May represented a major challenge going forward: how to build on and add to the strong content of the educational and executive development sessions offered just a few months earlier? If you went to Chicago, why should you go to San Antonio? The answer is twofold. First, the program is dynamic, strong and enhanced from Chicago. The agenda for San Antonio represents continuing emphasis, along with enhanced focus, on the groundbreaking results of Corporate Real Estate 2010. The theme of San Antonio – "Fast Forward: Corporate Real Estate 2010," reflects our commitment to an ongoing, dynamic re-envisioning of the swiftly approaching future. Second, the San Antonio Summit offers fresh insights and innovative solutions to the challenges members face every day – real-time, real-world advancements to improve their value-add to the enterprise. It is based on the most accurate barometer of what you, our members, need and want: your continuing feedback. As a result, we have added: More about strategy and leadership within and beyond the traditional corporate real estate (CRE) function; More about aligning CRE goals with those of the enterprise; More about crisis management; More about public/private-sector collaboration; More about relationship management and career advancement; More opportunities for networking; and More convenience in the accommodations and facilities. My pledge to you for now and going forward (make that fast forward!): Each Summit is and will continue to be unique and improved and will offer you the best of the knowledge and networking you need to succeed in your career. San Antonio certainly meets and exceeds these criteria. I look forward to seeing you there. Peggy Binzel Chief Executive Officer
