NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Finance IQ andIQPC`s6th Timberland Investment World Summit is taking place
October 26-28, 2009 at the Millennium Broadway Hotel in New York, NY.

The 6th Timberland Investment World Summit conference aims to provide existing
investors and those new to timberland a 360 degree understanding of the
Timberland asset class. IQPC has convened some of the most outstanding experts
in the timberland space to lead discussions, including:

* Sandy LaBaugh, Director of Alternative Investments, TIAA-CREF
* Miles Drake, Chief Technology Officer, Weyerhaeuser
* Sue Ryan Goodman, Portfolio Manager, Real Estate & Timber, APG Investments
* Tom Temple, Vice President, Wood Products, Potlatch Corporation
* Gerhard Dierterle, Head of Forestry Team, The World Bank

Chip Dillon, Managing Director, Credit Suisse, will be providing a macroeconomic
perspective on the future of global demand for wood products. During his
session, he will be discussing whether higher log prices can stop land values
from falling, if liquidity needs will lead another ownership transformation and
the future of supply and demand.

Further discussions on the different aspects of the asset class include biofuel
technology and its impact on future timber yields and growth rates.

"The biofuel industry is really coming into play," says Teddy Reynolds,
Timbertalkradio host, during a speaker Q&A with IQPC. "In the United States,
we`re seeing the infrastructure be put into place, so that we should see an
increase in procurement from the stumpage owner in the next two to three years."

Other featured sessions at the event include:

* Pension & Endowment Fund Think Tank
* Interactive roundtable discussion on key international timberland markets
* C-Level perspectives on the future of the TIMO, featuring the CEOs of
Timbervest, RMK, and the Campbell Group

opportunities

speakers and the networking opportunities provided.

to listen to and meet them is something I`m really looking forward to at the
event."
