You know, walking into the facility, there were so many people that were selling products and services. And then you see this area where we had the stage and the audience. And, you know, there were some great questions from the audience. I think that there was a general, you know, desire of attendees to really kind of focus on some issues and some people coming into this.

You know, it wasn't like, hey, I'm a blank slate and I want to learn about this from before. It was more like I've been dealing with this. Thank God there's someone who's who's talking about this, you know, because everyone I talk to, it's like hitting a brick wall. And now I'm going to talk to these folks about these issues and how does this apply to this and what's an example of that?

Many times there's a disconnect between the people who make the purchase decisions and the executive decisions when it go down a road, especially when you're looking at the idea of cybersecurity, right?

And I think that there's a bit of an opportunity when we had this conversation there to be like, okay, you know, what are the messages that we can help impart to these people who then are going to take what they learned from our panel to the next level wherever they work in terms of, okay, we need to consider this.
