It’s halftime in Paris ⏳
Good morning.
There are just over two weeks until the Paralympic Games launch into action on August 28th. In the meantime, consider this your halftime to:
Take a break from watching television,
Reconnect with people,
Nurture connections made during the Olympics and push to close deals,
Learn about the Paralympic Games,
And whatever else you may need to do.
Check back next week for our full Paralympic Paris tracker and a breakdown of the Paralympic schedule.
Enjoy your week!
