> Dear Jeff:
>
> Thank you for Enron's continued support as a key client of Gartner.
>
> I am writing today to invite you to participate in an exclusive CEO
> Mastermind Keynote Interview at the Gartner Spring Symposium/ITxpo 2001
> conference, May 8 in Denver, Colorado.  This keynote would allow you to
> showcase Enron's technology savvy and prowess to a large and extremely
> influential audience of business executives, technology professionals,
> investors and journalists.
>
> The keynote will be an intimate, thoughtful, one-hour discussion with two
> cutting-edge, first tier CEOs, and will be moderated by me.  Jim Kelly of
> UPS has accepted my invitation and will be one of the two participating
> CEOs.
>
> Enron's pioneering use of colaborative commerce and the Internet would
> make you an ideal participant in this dialogue.  In preparation for this
> keynote, I would visit and spend time with you to ensure that the keynote
> would meet your objectives.
>
> Now in it's 10th year, Gartner Symposium/ITxpo is widely recognized as the
> most comprehensive IT strategy event in the world, attracting the
> industry's leading analysts, strategists and practitioners. With over
> 10,000 attendees each year in the U.S., and more than 16,000 attendees
> worldwide, Symposium/ITxpo is an intense week of learning across the
> technology and business spectrum. Symposium's Mastermind Keynote Program
> is a renowned forum for top business minds to exchange ideas and break
> news.
>
> We will host between 4500-5000 CXO- and senior-level business and
> technology professionals at Spring Symposium/ITxpo 2001, as well as a
> significant national press contingent.  In addition, many Wall Street
> analysts watch this event with interest, as Gartner is the most trusted
> independent voice in the technology industry, and we use Symposium as a
> forum for our views on major vendors.
>
> Gartner would be pleased to support Enron in any press and investor
> relations opportunities surrounding your participation in our event.
>
> In recent years we have welcomed such business luminaries as Bill Gates,
> Larry Ellison, Scott McNealy, Michael Armstrong, Steve Case, John
> Chambers, Steve Ballmer and Michael Dell to the Symposium Mastermind
> Keynote Program. This past October at our Fall Symposium/ITxpo I conducted
> a Keynote Interview with US vice-presidential candidate Joseph Lieberman
> (Dick Cheney was also invited but was unable to join us). You can view
> this interview in Webcast format at www.gartner.com/symposium/us; simply
> click on the "Watch IT" banner.

> If you would like, my office can arrange a call between us to discuss this
> invitation in more detail.

> spring in Denver.
