Massimo

All right, thank you.

Nice to meet you, everybody.

Thanks for having me here, Nathan.

I love these conferences because you always go home with a couple of nuggets of really good business advice, and so I hope that you get a couple of those from me.

So let's get started.

Let's see.

So last year was about 50 people in Naples, Italy.

So we got really lucky because it was literally between two COVID waves and we just went for it and we said, well, let's try to do it and let's see if it works.

And it was, I think it was the first week in September or something like that.

It was really literally between two waves and it was great.

And so, well, yeah, we talked a little bit about that and then save time later.

So what we found is that Southern Europe is just an incredible place for team retreats.

I'm originally from Italy and about 50% of our staff is in Italy.

So B is about 70 people right now.

And so it's also a natural place for us.

But we've tried hard to look at other places because the Italians don't want to be in Italy.

They would love to come to the U.S., etc.

To give you an idea, this year we're going to go to Sicily again in Italy.

And first week in October, about 70 people for the team retreat.

and the per person this is a beautiful resort on the beach 70 euros per night per person it's it's practically impossible to find that kind of rate here in the united states and portugal spain greece the entire southern europe is a perfect spot for all that kind of stuff and of course you you have people flying in from from different places but
