restaurant, leisure and entertainment companies in New York City
for its 28th Annual Consumer Conference, June 10-11, 2008. This
year�s conference will address the timing of an economic recovery
in the consumer sector and how it will affect global growth
opportunities, cost inflation and market share shifts across the
domestic market. Through presentations and one-on-one meetings,
management teams from leading U.S. consumer growth companies will
focus on key issues that are important to the institutional
investor community. In addition, the conference will feature a teen
panel, Tuesday, June 10, comprising a group of teenage students

easing, investors are trying to balance near-term fundamental
weakness in the consumer sector with a long-term potential recovery
in spending trends,� said Jeff Klinefelter, senior retail research
analyst at Piper Jaffray. �We expect 2008 to be a dynamic year for
this sector and look forward to addressing current industry trends
and hearing from companies on their latest growth strategies.�
