MEMBER’S ADDRESS more than one of you from your com- pany divide and conquer! In between sessions, we’ve brought back the Shipper Exchange tables that will be in the sold-out Exhibit Hall. There will be signs on the table of where the company representative will be. If you see a busy table, circle around and come to them a little later or leave your business card with a note on it as there will be more than one session. On Thursday afternoon we’ve also brought back the popular Shipper and Vertical Round Tables. This is where carriers will be able to pick a table that will have both a ship- per and a carrier moderator that represent a particular vertical; be it Pharma, White Glove or E-commerce. This 1.5 hour block will be broken up so you can visit with more than one vertical! While we continue to promote and push out the most relevant and avail- able educational content to you after 7 the Annual Meeting, mark your cal- endars for two dates. The first being October 24th – 26th in Washington, D.C.! We’ll be combining the Fall Forum with the annual Lobby Day for a unique event. Where this would typi- cally be two separate events, mem- bers like you will be able to kill two birds with one stone all while being on Capitol Hill at the beautiful Liaison Hotel. Registration will open after Memorial Day weekend. The next Annual Meeting and Exhibition will be returning to the Crescent City of New Orleans, May 9th -12th, 2018! The Hyatt Regency is next door to the Super Dome, surrounded by wonder- ful restaurants and a 5 minute trolley ride from the French Quarter. Thank you for 30 great years of CLDA, and here is to the next! Customized Logistics and Delivery Association | SUMMER 2017
