I'll also note that we have many, many um CEOs from outside of the United States coming in.

I think we have probably north of twenty uh CEOs from um Europe.

Uh coming in, we're going to be doing a pre-conference meeting with them and some of our members and connecting them with some of the industry partners we work with to really talk about how there can be greater connectivity in this global environment of the DSO industry and also just learning from them what they're working on, us sharing the same type of aspects because there definitely seems to be a hunger and a need for greater programming.

And connectivity of the global community with each other and outside of um Europe and internationally.

So that'll be really exciting to see.

We also have some programming on the workforce side, particularly with um emerging dentists, those that are graduating dental schools, some dental school deans, others, and kind of coming together and talking about what is the next generation uh needing to be great clinicians.

So I think it's gonna be

A great conference.

Um, I'm I'm really pleased, you know, folks like Bob Fontana, the CEO of Aspen, Steve Bilt, the CEO of Smile Brands, Scotty Hudsmith, the CEO of Specialized Dental, have really taken the lead on building out this broader content and theme for the conference.

Uh, and we've got a great curriculum committee made up of DSO members that are putting together the breakout sessions.

So it should be um really exciting.

Uh, I'm looking forward to it.

That is correct.

Right.

Right at the basically corner of Michigan and Wacker, which is a great location.

And hopefully the weather will work and be nice.

But I've heard a lot of people are excited about um the venue because of how it can facilitate great networking opportunities outside of kind of the planned receptions and things like that.

So um, you know, we we're looking to have, you know, north of a thousand people uh as we usually have and and should be a great community event.

Yes, yes.

So um we'll have vendors coming in setting up on Monday and the Solutions Center.
