From: "Al seckel" To: "Jeffrey Epstein" <[email protected]> Subject: Conference Date: Thu, 04 Nov 2010 03:59:22 +0000 Jeff, Everyone is confirmed, booked, and all is arranged. Cecil and Allison were extremely easy and professional to work with, and their service was exemplary. The list of the confirmed attendees are as follows: Al Seckel Murray Gell-Mann Christof Koch Frances Arnold Gerald Sussman Len Mlodnow Catherine Mohr Ron Reisman Brock Pierce Baron Reichart Von Wolfshield Dan Dubno Paul Kirkaas Pablos Holman Please note that I purposely put together individuals I know extremely well, and who are highly articulate, passionate, opinionated, informed, insightful, successful, and who are FUN!!!! People that you would personally enjoy. Not just a bunch of dry ivory tower academics. Every single person here can hold and lead a conversation that is non-trivial and meaningful. I also wanted the group to be eclectic, and not just single focused on theoretical physics or some other topic, both cross- disciplinary, so one could get the most interesting new approaches and thoughts. This is an exceptional group. Truly. I also wanted to add some new people, who you are not familiar with, and who you would enjoy very much. I know that Pablos has met and spent a good deal of time at another gathering that I put together with Reichart Von Wolfshield and Paul Kirkaas, and said they were amazing. Murray went head-to-head with Paul Kirkaas at one of my parties, and didn't fair so well, and later when I asked Murray what he thought of Paul, he said, uncharacteristically, "he's very very smart. Very smart." Brock is one of the most interesting people i know, and is responsible for building up a multi-billion dollar virtual currency market in computer games and is involved in all sorts of stuff. recently, the feature story in WIRED. Catherine Mohr is also absolutely incredible and a super star. You can see her profiled on two of her TED talks. She is one of my closest friends. paul kirkaas is my oldest friend.
