This year will be, in fact, the 20th anniversary conference and a number of notable personages will be joining us to celebrate what we have learned and what we haven't about the economics of network industries. Fred Kahn, Al Philipps, Bill Hogan and a number of other distinguished academics will be reviewing our progress and the prospects for the future. The conference will take place at a beautiful site in the Poconos, about 90 minutes north of Philadelphia, from Wednesday afternoon May 24th to Friday afternoon May 26th. You can check for yourself the nature of the program and the conference site/hotel at the following website URL: http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~crri/WS.htm Michael Crew and I would both be delighted if you would be willing to be an after dinner speaker on Thursday evening (May 25th), just before the key research reviews of Friday morning take place on the electricity, telephone and gas industries, and following a day of special topics on emerging power markets and other developments in network industries. Naturally we would be pleased if you would be able to stay for the entire conference, but knowing your schedule, you may only have time for a part of it. That would not be a problem. The usual after-dinner address is for 30 minutes, followed by a short Q&A period. Your presentation would help to underline the tremendous importance of Enron in driving the development of new risk instruments to assist in price discovery and efficient risk management for market participants, in energy markets and more generally. Both Michael and I feel that your perspectives on the "new science of risk management" and what can be expected from it could be a very important addition to this special anniversay event. Please let me know (and please do copy Michael on your response) whether your schedule will allow your participation in this very special event. Michael and I would, of course, be very happy to follow up with you in discussing the nature of the presentation, participants and so forth, if this is a go. I look forward to hearing from you.
