Stadium Design Event Confirms VIP Attendance From Members of Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee

DOHA, Qatar, May 11, 2011 - 12 senior members of Qatar 2022 Supreme Council have confirmed their VIP
attendance at Stadium and Venue Design and Development Qatar, being held at
the Four Seasons Hotel in Doha from 22 - 26 May 2011.

Stadium design and development experts from across the globe will gather
later this month to hear from industry leaders such as Danny Jordaan, CEO of
the FIFA 2010 South Africa Local Organising Committee, Harold Mayne Nicholls,
Head of FIFA's Inspection Group, Axel Bienhaus, Partner at Albert Spiel and
Partners and Dan Meis, Senior Principal at Populous. The CEO and Strategic
Director of Russia 2018 Local Organising Committee have also confirmed their
VIP attendance in support of Qatar's tournament as both countries were the
unlikely victors in the 2010 bidding process.

Qatar famously have 11 years to prepare for the most compact FIFA World
Cup in the history of the tournament, whilst developing 9 new stadiums and
retrofitting 3 existing stadiums. They have extreme cooling objectives they
must achieve whilst ensuring a sustainable tournament.

The most pressing challenges faced by the small gulf state include;
harmonising regulations and requirements for world-class stadiums, ensuring
safety and security in stadium design, achieving energy-efficient and
maintainable stadiums whilst implementing cost control strategies and
ensuring return on investment; all of which will be addressed at the
conference.
