What actually happened at the Summit? Why were there differences to our objectives?

Our Objectives as New Energy Finance:

Stated Objectives (i.e. the ones we share with the participants and partners):

• Create the leading thought space for the most senior investors in clean energy and the carbon markets
• Celebrate the League Table winners
• Provide the platform to enjoy and build the network… (build relationships)

Unstated Objectives (our internal ones):

• Raise the profile of New Energy Finance amongst key players
• Establish NEF Events - Awards as the dominant / leading industry platform
• Execute a high quality, high impact, high profile live event
• Enhance the services and products of NEF

(For your information - these were the challenges that defined back in October:

• Timing and resources to execute within the timeline and targeted schedule
• Ensuring a well designed program that has impact and is not overly complex
• Getting the key opinion leaders and key clients to the table)
