Why this Guide exists

I know what the right room can do.

I grew Express Errands & Courier from roughly $1K months to multimillion-dollar years — and some of the biggest opportunities came from relationships I built by showing up in the logistics industry.

— Coach Roslyn Ellerbee

Early on, a client mentioned a conference they thought I should attend. They couldn't remember the name — just that it was where serious delivery companies went.

So I went looking. That search led me to the CLDA Final Mile Forum. I walked in, started meeting the people who make the shipping decisions in this industry, and doors I didn't know existed began opening from there.

I created this Guide because I remember when I didn't even know which rooms existed.

You shouldn't have to stumble into the right room by accident.

The problem

Most owners pick events on hype. Then wonder where the budget went.

Registration, flights, hotel, meals and days away from dispatch add up fast. Not every conference is built for a courier company — some are ideal for meeting direct shippers, others lean toward freight, tech or association leadership.

01

You don't know who's actually in the room

Shippers? Brokers? Other couriers? The brochure rarely tells you.

02

You can't see the true cost up front

Ticket price is only the start — travel, lodging and time away all count.

The Guide fixes both.

Who attends, what to expect, a proposed investment range and an honest take — for every event.

This guide is for you if…

“One meaningful conversation can be worth more than one hundred casual introductions.” — Coach Roslyn

You're building a real courier company — not just looking for deliveries

You want direct clients, industry relationships and a better understanding of where serious logistics business happens.

You run a smaller, established company

and you're ready for bigger contracts, strategic partners and new markets.

You're planning next year's calendar

and want a clear, budgeted plan instead of registering for whatever lands in your inbox.

This probably isn't for you if…

you're looking for driver jobs, gig apps, load boards or a list of delivery contracts.

It IS for you if…

you're building a courier or logistics company and you're ready to invest in relationships, visibility and growth.
