3. Catalog Day on Capitol Hill
Following a full day on May 22nd of sessions with legislators, postal officials, and others with skin in the catalog/e-commerce sectors, all attendees will storm Capitol Hill on May 23rd to meet with members of Congress. There, you will be given a chance to explain to key legislators how postal rates and the possible overturn of the Quill remote sales tax precedent directly impact your business.
