And and and one thing I you know, before I kind of jump into, you know, what we have um coming up at the summit, one one other thing that we're continuing to hear from our members and I think we're hearing from all different types of practice models is, you know, workforce is so important, right?
I mentioned the licensure portability issue, but also, you know, that, you know, the cost of, you know, labor has increased and that's uh, you know, uh putting a lot of downward
pressure on the full industry.
This isn't just for DSO.
So we're going to be working with, you know, many of our counterparts within the industry to think through like, how do we continue to expand the marketplace and make sure that the workforce that we need is available and how do we keep it's all about access to care.
And so that's another piece you're going to see us coming down the pipeline on, most likely, post these legislative sessions.
So just wanted our listeners, your listeners to know that that's something we're
We're very focused on as well.
But as it
Relates to the summit.
As you mentioned, it's our our 15th anniversary, uh, which is great.
And one of the things that we've really seen throughout the 15 years of a summit is that all of the DSO CEOs had come together to work collaboratively to talk about how do we grow the industry and how do we do that as a unit, right?
And you know, what are the sharing of best practices?
Practices?
Um, how do you, you know, make sure that past you know, mistakes on operational efficiencies, as well as you know, supporting the dentist, you know, how do you keep that moving and where are we in this new life cycle of the DSO industry?
So with that premise.
And because the industry continues to grow, we're really doubling down on that collective growth concept.
And we're opening this up even more than we have done previously to all DSO executives and their C-suite to kind of have that connectivity that the CEOs have had the last 15 years.
And so um I think what you're gonna see on the main stage in particular.
are really looking at ideas about, you know, where are we today as an industry?
