WHO:                 Don Willis, CEO and founder, IPNet Solutions

                     Don Willis has significant experience in B2B
                     e-commerce solutions. He possesses in-depth
                     knowledge of the retail and distribution
                     industries. Prior to founding IPNet, Willis
                     served as senior vice president of information
                     systems at Rykoff-Sexton, a multi-billion dollar
                     food-service distributor, as well as senior vice
                     president of information systems and inventory
                     management at HomeBase, a retailer with annual
                     sales of more than $1 billion.

                     IPNet Solutions Inc. provides software that
                     connects Global 2000 companies and their business
                     partners. Its flexible and secure solutions
                     support leading Internet standards, XML and
                     legacy EDI systems. IPNet allows business
                     partners of any size to participate in B2B
                     initiatives by offering server, PC, Java-client
                     and browser options for data exchange. Its
                     patented technology helps companies migrate
                     risk-free from legacy systems to the Internet.

WHAT:                Along with nearly 100 fellow CEOs of promising
                     enterprise application companies, Willis will
                     discuss IPNet's business model and technology. In
                     1995, electronic solutions enabling suppliers and
                     customers of all sizes to transact business
                     securely didn't exist. In 1996, Willis founded
                     IPNet to fill this gap and radically improve the
                     way businesses interoperate. IPNet accomplishes
                     this by leveraging the Internet to meet the needs
                     of the B2B market. By offering server, PC, Java
                     client, and browser options for data exchange,
                     IPNet has become a leading provider of B2B
                     e-commerce solutions that enable business
                     partners of any size to participate in B2B
                     initiatives.

                     Geared toward Fortune 500 executives and leaders
                     in the financial community, Enterprise Outlook

                     applications and services markets.

WHY:                 After a year that saw the rise and fall of public
                     exchanges, it's more important than ever to stay
                     abreast of the rapid changes affecting enterprise
                     software and services. More than ever, the
                     world's companies are looking for ways to create
                     connections that span businesses.
