MANY BORDERS. ONE WORLD.™ KEYNOTE PRESENTATION ENTERTAINMENT GOES GLOBAL
LOS ANGELES (April 15, 2008) – Tim Leiweke, President and CEO of global sports and entertainment leader AEG will deliver the keynote address at the Inter-Pacific Bar Association’s 18th Annual Conference, Many Borders, One World.™. The conference, taking place at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel from April 27-30th, 2008, will provide unparalleled education to the expected 700 attorneys from over 25 jurisdictions worldwide who will attend the conference.
