The CEO Networking Playbook
What to do before, during and after every event — from your 30-second intro to following up within 24–48 hours.

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 EllerbeeEarly 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 Blueprint because I remember when I didn't even know which rooms existed.
You shouldn't have to stumble into the right room by accident.
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.
Shippers? Brokers? Other couriers? The brochure rarely tells you.
Ticket price is only the start — travel, lodging and time away all count.
Who attends, what to expect, a proposed investment range and an honest take — for every event.
Every profile follows the same format, so you can compare events side by side and build a plan that fits your goals and your budget.
