Answer

Almost 600 invitations have been issued to CEOs, senior executives, VIPs and advocates with over 80 acceptances received to date.

Many of those who have registered to attend have asked that their attendance remain confidential at this point but I am able to confirm that Mayor Bloomberg of New York, the CEOs and senior Executives of the New York Stock Exchange, Independent News and Media, Allstate, Nortel, and Caterpillar have accepted invitations.
