We value your business goals and that is the main reason we are keeping our eyes open, but forward facing, so we can continue to bring you events that are valuable to the growth and impact of your business. Your investment is important to us and we understand the concerns of all.
As our partner in success, we would like to ask you to have patience and pay attention to developments, and also trust that we have your best interests at the forefront of all that we do. As of today, we are considering widening our aisles, we are taking a look at mask mandates, and we are exploring a number of sanitizing protocols.
As the situation develops and improves, and as vaccination rates continue to soar in NOLA, we will keep you updated with all that we know from the local governing leaders in the Southeast.
We are looking forward to seeing you in October!
