--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Forrester Research Finance Forum: May 22-23, 2006, in New York

WHAT:   Forrester Research, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORR) Finance Forum "What's
        Next: The New Realities In Retail Financial Services"

        The retail financial services industry is at a crossroads, as
        several convergent forces are disrupting the current
        landscape. Fueling the change is a major shift in the needs of
        consumers. Baby boomers are preparing in earnest for
        retirement, while Generation X and Y are pushing for more
        online services. At the same time, the level of competition
        will intensify as new entrants push the envelope with
        innovative products and services. All of this is happening
        while existing technologies are enabling a host of new sales
        and service capabilities that cut across interaction channels
        and traditional product lines.
