Personal Letter from the Cape Town 2008 Chairman:
Special Early bird discount up to June 15!

Dear TCI friends,

I would like to invite you to participate in TCI 2008 and network with leaders from around the world in competitiveness and economic and cluster development.

Around the world there is a groundswell recognising the power and importance of cluster initiatives and their value as highly effective economic development tools, with more than 2500 cluster initiatives mapped globally. Over 400 delegates from around the world are expected, hence it is advisable to book early to reserve your selected hotel accommodation and book your flights.

TCI events have always delivered exceptional value in terms of top quality speakers, valuable topics and exceptional forums for dialogue, collaboration and learning. We guarantee TCI 2008 will not disappoint you.

You can view further information and the provisisional programme on our website by clicking here: www.sbs.co.za/tci2008.

Note that visa's are required from certain countries and these must be obtained in advance and cannot be obtained when arriving in South Africa. Therefore we recommend you to take care of travel arrangements early in advance. You can view further information on the conference web site.

Please also note that the final call for proposals has been extended to the 16th May.

Me and my team looks forward to your participation and to welcome you here in October!

Nigel Gwynne-Evans
Chairman - TCI 2008
