15 APRIL Welcome Reception

16 APRIL Opening Remarks from the Chair Lionel Barber, Editor, Financial Times Opening Keynote Address - The View from Cargill Cargill Inc is one of the world’s largest commodities trading houses and the largest privately owned company in the US, giving it a vantage view over the global economy, commodities markets and the main trends in the trading industry. Greg Page, Chairman and CEO, Cargill Inc Investment in, and with, the Trading Houses Commodities traders are looking for investments and seeking partners to invest with. The houses are tapping the capital market, in some cases for the first time since their creation a century ago. They are also looking to partner with sovereign wealth funds, private equity houses and state-owned enterprises. The trend of investing in, and with, the trading houses is set to accelerate. Keynote

Lunch Geo-economics China’s slowdown; Iran’s nuclear programme and oil sanctions; the Eurozone’s sovereign debt crisis; the US presidential election… The list of geo-economic factors on the trading houses’ watch list is ample and wide. Leading experts will debate the key economic and political issues for 2013 and beyond. Speakers to be announced Africa - The Next Frontier For years Africa was seen as an origin of commodities, from gold and coffee to sugar and crude oil, but the emergence of a middle class in the continent is slowly morphing Africa into a destination business. The change is bringing about huge opportunities for houses investing in processing, logistics and distribution. Keynote

Ketan Patel, Managing Director, Export Trading Group Panel

Pierre Eladari, CEO, Puma Energy Paul Greenslade, Chairman, Vivo Energy Gerry Manley, Managing Director, Olam Atul Mehta, Director of Global Manufacturing, Agribusiness and Services, IFC Regulation of Commodities Markets - Physical and Financial Global regulators are increasing their scrutiny of the world of physical commodities trading, after an initial focus on derivatives. For the first time ever, regulators are also asking whether trading houses are, just as Wall Street banks, too big to fail. Regulation of commodities markets – both physical and financial – and on the banks and houses, is likely to increase over the next few years. Keynote

Scott O’Malia, Commissioner, CFTC Panel

Jean-Luc Epars, Head of Regulatory Services, KPMG Marko Kraljevic, Partner, Clyde & Co Ted Morris, Technical Specialist, Financial Services Authority (FSA) Anthony Ward, Founder, Armajaro Holdings Close Reception & Dinner

15 - 17 April 2013, Lausanne, Switzerland

17 APRIL Focus on Key Commodity Markets – Outlook, Risks, Opportunities Opening Remarks from the Chair Lionel Barber, Editor, Financial Times Agriculture - Market and Traders The global economy faces its third food inflation shock in five years after drought hit crops in the US and the Latin American farmland belt of Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Brazil. The panel will explore what is the outlook for food commodities in 2013 and how the trading houses will cope. Keynote

Alberto Weisser, Chairman and CEO, Bunge Limited Panel

Chris Mahoney, Head of Agriculture, Glencore Claudio Scarrozza, CEO Europe, CHS Additional speakers to be announced Metals and Minerals - Market and Traders Metals and mineral prices have fallen significantly from the 2008 peaks as Chinese demand slows and new supply arrives to the markets. The price drop has led many mining groups to announce significant cuts in their projects, opening the door for lower supply in the second half of the decade – and higher prices. The panel will examine the outlook and the trading opportunities and challenges. Keynote

Andrew Harding, Chief Executive, Rio Tinto Copper Panel

Paul Crone, Founder, Citrine Capital Management Steve Hodgson, Director of International Sales, UC RUSAL Mark Kristoff, CEO, Traxys Break Energy - Market and Traders The global energy landscape is transforming: oil prices remain above $100 a barrel, but US natural gas is the cheapest in a decade. The development of shale oil and gas is re-drawing the map of oil trade. Meanwhile, the LNG industry is witnessing huge growth – and changes. And countries are debating their future energy-mix, making choices from nuclear-free Japan to costly renewable sources in Europe. Keynote

Torbjörn Törnqvist, CEO, Gunvor Panel

Philippe de Gentile, Global Head of Energy and Commodity Finance, BNP Paribas Paul Newman, Managing Director, ICAP Energy William C Reed, President and CEO, Castleton Commodities International Bob Takai, Corporate Officer and General Manager, Energy, Sumitomo Closing Remarks from the Chair Lionel Barber, Editor, Financial Times Close of Summit & Lunch
