Dear ILD members,

I am very sorry to inform you that Stephen Sartarelli has been forced by a
series of personal and professional problems to cancel his participation as
our Distinguished Speaker at the upcoming Annual Conference in San Antonio.

It is very unfortunate that his circumstances have changed recently, making
it impossible for him to keep this commitment, and he deeply regrets missing
this opportunity to be part of such an important event in our profession.

The conference organizers will find replacement speakers for the three slots
that Stephen would have had, but unfortunately there were no additional
presentations submitted for the Italian lineup.

We will make every effort to make sure we can offer a full program
for Italian in Chicago next year and with your cooperation we can succeed.

Thank you for your support and see you in San Antonio!

Francesca & Roberto
