Dear Colleague,

For six years, BITS, American Banker and The Santa Fe Group have been helping financial services outsourcing professionals maximize value from their outsourcing programs, examine their strategies, learn from the experts, and gain terrific networking opportunities.

On November 5 & 6, 2007, we invite you to join us at the Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Miami for the 6th Annual BITS/American Banker Financial Services Outsourcing Conference Presented by The Santa Fe Group. This year’s program brings you a star-studded lineup centered on the theme, Security and Performance Intelligence for a Global Marketplace.

For those who have joined us in the past, we look forward to seeing you again.

For those new to our event – welcome.

Since we first offered this conference, outsourcing has grown and changed. Our program has evolved, too, with a focus on strategy and trends in globalization, performance, leadership, regulations, and risk management.

This year in Miami, we’ll once again bring you “the best of the best,” focusing on these critical topics:

• Globalization: Insights about changes and trends in the global marketplace
• Leadership: Top strategies in managing human capital
• Regulations: The regulatory landscape in 2007-08 and how it affects you
• Innovation: Industry initiatives that are making security assessments more efficient and less costly
• Performance: How to get the most out of your outsourcing relationships
• Risk management: Best practices for protecting valuable information assets

Please join us as we once again offer the premier event in financial services outsourcing.

Best wishes,

Catherine A. Allen
Conference Chairman and
Chairman and CEO, The Santa Fe Group
