Locke, Liddell & Sapp LLP is proud to be a sponsor of Energy Venture Fair II being held in Houston at the J.W. Marriott on January 29-30, 2002.  Energy Venture Fair II presents a unique opportunity to survey some of the most dynamic investment opportunities in today's energy industry.  The conference is a forum for 75 of the best and brightest energy technology companies to educate prospective investors about the opportunity they represent.  Last year's event in Boston attracted over 325 participants, and this year's conference promises to be just as successful.
        Locke, Liddell & Sapp LLP will be hosting the conference's cocktail reception on the evening of January 29th from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. at the J.W. Marriott.
