"The London 2012 Games are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Games could bring more than £10bn of contracts to UK businesses. And come 2012, the eyes of the world will be on London. In this global economy, that represents a great opportunity. The 2008 CBI Business Summit brings together all the central players in the London 2012 project for a practical and unmissable day."
Richard Lambert, Director-General, CBI
