Halfway there.
Almost zero because we, you know, had to shut down.

We were just, you know, hitting, you know, pushing a boulder up the hill, which wasn't worth pushing in the conference organizer space.
And I can go into more details there about why that sales cycle is really tough.
But, you know, we were all kind of exhausted there.

Everyone knows Epic, but they hate to use it.

So you have to be on there as well.
