Hi Katherine:
I apologize for my delay in getting back to you. I sent out a good
number of invitations for this panel discussion and, unfortunately, the
slots are full. I will pass along your interest in delivering a talk at
a future Forrester event or possibly to a group of our analysts who
cover such issues. Again, I apologize for the delay in response and
we'll keep you in mind for future events.

Best Regards,
Jessica

Strategy Forum


Hi, Jessica:

Thanks for the invitation. I would be happy to be a panelist at
Forrester's upcoming Executive Strategy Forum this Fall.

I would also be available to deliver a talk on the projected impact of
RFID-based computing networks on the future of society, with a focus on
privacy, government, and individual liberty. Please get back to me if
Forrester would be interested in an address on these issues.

Best wishes,

Katherine Albrecht, Ed.M.
