News Release

Forrester's Technology Leadership Forum: September 18-20, 2006, In Scottsdale, Ariz.

--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Forrester Research (Nasdaq: FORR)

WHAT:   Forrester Research (Nasdaq: FORR) Technology Leadership
        Forum, "Prospering In Your IT Ecosystem"

        Although a technology leader's primary objective, "to make or
        save money through the use of IT" might sound simple,
        increased expectations from tech-savvy business
        stakeholders, customers, and end users have made it
        complex. Growing influence from internal and external
        parties, including technology suppliers, has also made the
        IT organization look more like an ecosystem than a
        self-contained business unit. Forrester's Technology
        Leadership Forum 2006 will address how CIOs can balance
        and benefit from those relationships to prosper in the new
        environment.
