Pretty quiet news week for frac sand, but interest is still very strong in the 8th Annual Frac Sand Supply & Logistics Conference. Silver Sponsorships are sold out and Golf and Gold Sponsorships are nearly sold out. We’ll also be announcing the addition of the Equipment Expo to this year’s event (and exhibitors are already signing up, so if you might be interested in bringing in large equipment be sure to get in touch with me!). Also bear in mind that anyone registered as a sponsor or attendee will be invited to a PreConference Networking Reception in Houston on July 9. I’ll send an invitation to everyone soon. So stay tuned!
Have a great rest of the week.
