Thank You!

Thank you to all our sponsors, speakers and delegates for making the AVCJ Private Equity & Venture Forum \ South Korea 2008 a wonderful success. The 5th AVCJ forum in Seoul saw 200 senior representatives from local and overseas private equity firms, institutional investors and professional advisors, as well as government dignitaries and corporations.

Opening proceedings for the two-day conference was Dr. Chang Yong Rhee, Vice Chairman of the Financial Service Commission. Dr. Rhee's keynote address highlighted the deregulation and privatisation plans that are expected to help private equity deal flow. Mr. Euoo Sung Min, Chairman and CEO of Korea Development, delivered the luncheon keynote. In addition to sharing some of KDB's privatisation plans, Mr. Min provided an analysis of Korean legislation and its influence on the private equity industry.

Next year's event takes place in June. We look forward to seeing you there.
