On Thursday, Nov. 1, the 50th Annual R&D 100 Awards Banquet & Exhibition will take place at the Renaissance Orlando Hotel at Sea World in Florida. The arrival of Hurricane Sandy to the East Coast has prompted concerns on the part of guests that the storm might have affected the event. However, all plans are still a go for this event, and R&D staff are in route to the venue. Please visit our R&D 100 Awards website for full details about the event. If you have any questions, concerns, or wish to notify us about how the hurricane may affect your travel plans to the event this Thursday, please contact at 973-920-7032 or email rdeditors@advantagemedia.com. Thank you and the R&D staff wishes everyone a safe time during the storm.
