Issue #285 | August 19, 2020
I know, I know. We’re always telling you that this issue is a “must read” and you need to stop everything and read it. So is this one! While some of the big companies work through bankruptcy (even a question, as you will see below, if they should remain a going concern!) there are some positive signs out there too. The timing for our November conference might be ideal…a chance to network with decision-makers right after contracts have been cancelled and right when companies are looking for 2021 dance partners! Please plan on joining us for what will certainly be the largest frac sand event of 2020!
