Hi Folks,
Unfortunately, Mark Diodati had
to cancel because of the shifting of the Catalyst event. I immediately reached
out to the folks at Ovum and Butler to replace him. Unfortunately, they are
also committed elsewhere. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Please let
me know ASAP. Kind regards, Jane
Hi Jane and Dee,
It is with great regret that I must decline this speaking
engagement. I take my commitments very seriously and I am deeply apologetic.
Since first accepting this speaking engagement, Burton Group
has been impacted by unpredictable changes, including the rescheduling of our
Catalyst EU concert to June due to the Icelandic volcano. The result is that I
am overbooked and cannot participate in the conference. I want you to know that
the decision was made among the executive management team at Burton Group and
myself, after many discussions. Several of those discussions focused on whether
anyone of the identity team could cover the speaking engagement. The
unfortunately reality is that no one on the team has the cycles to speak at the
conference.
Per my recent review of the conference program, it appears
that the speaking slot has evolved from being a keynote. My hope is that this
makes it easier for you to find an alternative speaker.
Please keep me in mind for future speaking engagements, and
please do not hesitate to call me if you wish to discuss.
Best,
Mark
