I am in the process of developing the draft programme for the 2000 event, and this is the reason that I am contacting you. Building on the success of last year's event, which attracted over 230 delegates from across Europe and the US, PoweRisk 2000 will once again feature more than 50 leading power industry experts and academics world-wide. There will also be a comprehensive exhibition running alongside, cocktail parties,, champagne roundtables, in-depth workshops * and numerous other opportunities to catch up with your colleagues. Throughout the course of my research, I have been speaking with many of the people who attended the workshop you led with Prof. Geman and Alexander Eydeland last year. The feedback has been extremely favourable and many expressed a wish to see you both participating in the main conference this year. I appreciate that you have an incredibly busy schedule, and to this end, I wanted to contact you at this early stage with regard to the dates for this year's PoweRisk conference and to outline my list of queries to you, prior to calling your office tomorrow. I would very much like to extend an invitation to you to deliver an address at this year's main conference. The conference will be taking place in Paris, on the 4th and 5th of October (with workshops taking place on the 6th) The workshop topic last year dealt with the latest developments in risk management, pricing and trading of electricity derivatives. I would be most grateful if you could spare me some time tomorrow on the phone to discuss this area with me, and in particular the issues that you are finding most relevant to your work with Enron at present. The need to build a programme which truly reflects the needs of the global power trading and risk management industry is clear in such a conference-saturated market. To achieve this we formed our Energy Derivatives Advisory Board last year for advice on all aspects of programme development and speaker acquisition. Chaired by Prof. Helyette Geman, the Board members currently include: Ehud. I. Ronn, Mark B. Garman, Dragana Pilipovic, Blake Johnson, Les Clewlow, Chris Strickland and Christian Vrolijk. This year we are expanding the scope of the Advisory Board and inviting a number of new members*, including Jeffrey Skilling of Enron, Bruce Williamson of Duke Energy, Heinz Dieter Waffel of PreussenElektra, Harvey Padewer of Duke Energy, Alexander Eydeland of Southern Company Energy Marketing, John Shapiro of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and Jeff Porter of Koch Industries * (all confirmed and invited Board Members are past speakers at the ICBI PoweRisk event) This year, I would also like to invite you to join our Energy Derivatives Advisory Board. In return for your evaluation of the draft programme and suggestions of possible improvements and potential speakers, you would be entitled to full branding as an Advisory Board member on the conference brochure and all conference documentation, first choice on speaking slots, a free pass if not speaking, and further discounted registration for clients or colleagues. I will call your office tomorrow and would be very grateful if you could spare me a few moments to discuss the above proposals. I will also email this letter to you. My contact details are as follows: Tel: +44 171 915 5194 Fax: +44 171 915 5101 Email: rosef@icbi.co.uk I look forward to speaking to you and very much hope that I will have the opportunity of working with you on this year's PoweRisk conference. Yours sincerely Rosemary Fitzgerald Director, PoweRisk 2000
