Dear NYBAP Members and Friends:

Earlier this year, we brought you, in conjunction with the Asia Society, a panel entitled "Bangladesh: Untapped Opportunities". This panel provided a macro view of the economic climate as well as a chance to hear from industry leaders working on the ground in the country. Due to the incredibly positive reception of this event, we're proud to bring you another to continue this discussion further.

The event will be a personal discussion with Iftakharul Islam, one of the panelists at the Asia Society event and Founder and Managing Partner, Asian Tiger Capital Partners, one of Bangladesh's first private equity funds.

Discover why market-oriented reforms, strong socio-economic indicators and highly favorable demographics are poised to render Bangladesh one of the world's most exciting investment opportunities.

For further information about AT Capital and Bangladesh, please see their recent 140-page research report titled "Bangladesh: Growth, Investment Opportunity", available on their website at www.at-capital.com.

Ticket includes 3-course buffet lunch. The talk will begin at 2 pm so please arrive early to network prior to the panel.

Register today and reserve your seat! Space is very limited and on a first come, first serve basis. Tickets are $30 in advance and $40 at the door.

We look forward to seeing you there,

The Events Committee
