Enron's board of directors meeting and annual shareholder meeting is scheduled to take place in Houston on Tuesday, May 1, making it impossible for Jeff to accept your invitation. Joanna Gallanter on 02/28/2001 01:09:24 PM To: "'jeff.skilling@enron.com'" cc: Subject: Pug Winokur Suggested I Contact You Dear Jeff, I just wrapped up a meeting with Pug Winokur, an Enron Board member, and he suggested I contact you to invite you to participate in a CEO forum we host called Build Value 2001 CEO Forum to be held on May 1, 2001 at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, California. The Build Value 2001 forum is a powerful venue to share your perspective and insights with CEOs of high-growth technology companies intent on learning and sharing with one another. This year's conference is heavily focused on exploring the opportunities and challenges in the converging online and offline marketplaces, and perhaps no other firm understands how to be successful in this market more than Enron. The discussion we would like you to join is among CEOs and business leaders who are in large organizations that have effectively stayed on top of the wave and embracing technological innovation to succeed. David Pottruck is confirmed to speak on behalf of Schwab and we have invited AG Lafley from P&G and Jeanne Jackson from Walmart to join the discussion. Your participation on behalf of Enron would clearly be an integral part of the discussion. Now in its fourth year, the Build Value CEO forum has established itself as the premiere learning forum for business executives intent on building successful technology related companies. The annual forum attracts a diverse group (750+) of CEOs and technology leaders who are integral to the continued growth and purpose of this learning community. The Build Value 2001 CEO forum is not a typical two-day investor conference. Rather it seeks to create a living lab of "how-to" success stories that can be referenced by participants throughout the year. This content becomes a valuable guide for many emerging growth companies and can be reviewed online at . Join speakers such as Bob Pittman (AOL), Jeff Mallett (Yahoo!), David Peterschmidt (Inktomi), Shelby Bonnie (CNet), and Mark Walsh (VerticalNet) who presented cutting edge topics to a sold out audience of CEOs at last year's conference titled "Brands Driving the New Economy". Prior conferences have also included corporate visionaries and luminaries such as John Hagel III & Marc Singer (McKinsey & Co.), Francis Ford Coppola (Coppola Companies), Howard Schultz (Starbucks), David Aaker (author), Meg Whitman (eBay), Harry Dent (author/speaker), Bob Fisher (Gap), and Cindy Crawford (eStyle, Inc.) to name a few. We anticipate this year's speaker roster to be even more impressive. Build Value 2001's continuing strategic sponsors, with whom you will have many opportunities to interact, include some of the most innovative and forward thinking players in Silicon Valley today: Redpoint Ventures, Banc of America Securities, Silicon Valley Bank, CNET, Heidrick & Struggles, Cooley Godward and Citron Haligman Bedecarre. Venture Strategy Partners, Build Value's founding host, is a venture capital firm focused on accelerating the growth of emerging businesses across a spectrum of technologies. I know your perspective and vision will be greatly appreciated and I, along with my colleagues, would be honored to have you as a distinguished speaker. Our office will follow up with you this coming week to confirm your participation. In the interim, please feel free to call me directly at 415-558-8600 with any questions or talk with Pug Winokur about the power of this forum. Thank you for your consideration.
