We plan to have 20 CEOs in attendance and this will give you a chance to meet a few of the other senior executives of IBM, including Lou Gerstner. Sam Palmisano will also be there. I've included some information below on the conference, attendees at the last session and tentative agenda, which may help you decide. If you can make it, Lou will send you a formal invitation letter. Please let me know if I can provide any other information for you. Thanks.
