We're already working with two journalists from Wired. One will have  
an article coming out with Wired news next week, I believe, and the  
other will be sent here to cover the full summit.

It sounds like you were contacted by a freelancer who works for for  
them. If this is the case, you should tell the person that Wired  
already has the story. More than likely he/she will try to shop the  
same item to another outlet, which would be a good thing - even more  
exposure.
