My husband and I together went to a FEMA-run site in Jacksonville, Florida, where we live, and obtained the Pfizer vaccine as soon as we were eligible, receiving the first dose in late March and the second in early April.

Viewpoint: Tips for selling at in-person events — when they reappear

We’re going to assume the in-person conferences and networking events we used to know will, in the near future, be possible again. In fact, we should all be encouraged by the news announced by FreightWaves last week about F3: The Future of Freight Festival, being held IN PERSON in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Nov. 8-10.
