Eppic Index Delayed Due to Cyberattack

We apologize for the long period of no activity on both this site and our website. In mid-2023 we experienced a massive cyberattack that destroyed data from the 2022 Index which was in final editing and the 2023 index which was half completed. A data recovery and re-start of both year's data was done toward updating the website for both 2022 and 2023. The 2024 data is also being gathered, so that various stages of work are now underway for three years of data. 

We have been encouraged (and discouraged) by the strong new research and Trade Association data primarily from international sources, along with many new conferences. Discouragement comes from from incorporating the new information with no additional support. We are doubling efforts to locate editing and marketing support (even to the point of joint ownership) but response has been slow thus far.

We appreciate the continuing visits to both this site and our website during the downtime. We encourage readers to periodically check both locations as we plan to be back up as soon as possible this year.
