On September 11, 2001 I had just begun running Events for Jupiter Media Metrix, after working with the company for a couple of years as an analyst. The first show scheduled that I was responsible for was on Web Technologies in San Francisco, on September 12, 2001.
Danny Lewin, Founder and CTO of Akamai Technologies, was the keynote for that conference. He was on board one of the planes from Boston that struck the World Trade Center.
I never met Danny but think of him a lot, especially in September. I'm thinking about him today.

Hear, hear. Danny was a great guy. Similar to you, he was on my calendar for Sept. 13th. It was very eerie to get that Outlook alert.
