OPENING SESSION
It's the Economy, Stupid!
We are pleased to have as our guest speaker, De Donald Straszheim, President of the
Milken Institute (the country's leading economic think tank), and former Chief Economist
for Merrill Lynch, headquartered in New York. Dr. Straszheim will discuss the consumer
sector and the current economic situation, the unprecedented ups and downs in the equity
markets, the massive shifts in demographics (age and ethnicity) affecting us all and the
impacts of technology, telecommunications, the Internet and the recent dot -com mania.
10:45 am - 12:00 noon
CONCURRENT SESSIONS
A. Bankruptcy — Empty Stores — Now What?
Opportunities and solutions abound for those who listen to experience. Creative solutions
can turn dark space into an enhanced tenant mix resulting in an improved center image,
attractiveness and profit. Experienced developers, architects, contractors and tenants will
share their approaches to this wave of economic opportunity.
B. Entitlement — Who Needs It? Who Wants It?
Who Knows How To Do It?
Entitlements do not necessarily lead to a dead end. Everyone has his own techniques. Whether
you are a retailer crying to get your use approved, a developer trying to get your shopping
center approved or a city official wondering how the others do it, this session will benefit
you. Join us as professionals from all sides of the entitlement process share their insights.

One of the primary reasons for changing the location of the Western Division Conference

Exposition. Again this year we will have over 50,000 square feet of Deal Making Space.
The entire Deal Making and Trade Exposition will consist of 10' x 10' pipe and drape
booths. Retailers, developers, brokers, cities, lenders and service providers are all invited to
participate in our exciting improved format.
