Well, the conference season is back in full swing—but only if we can get to our events. First came a major storm January 23-28 that tied up a huge piece of the country, causing travel delays that extended into early February, and resulted in many booths and branding materials being lost in transit.
And this week, the fourth week of February, we’ve got a nor’easter, with perhaps a historic amount of snow, bearing down on the Mid-Atlantic and New England.
But if we do manage to get there, the events have been robust and upbeat. Here are some pics from January and February.
