This logistics-industry media company saw half its business wiped out when it had to cancel inperson events, but it’s still growing thanks to virtual conferences, a new online broadcast network and a decision to double down on its data-analytics platform to help clients set prices and optimize routes. The four-year-old company hosted 300,000 at virtual events this year, up from the 5,000 it planned to host in person. Increased sponsorships for these gatherings are expected to boost sales to $19 million this year, up from $11 million in 2019.
