In an events business, what's tricky about events business, unlike any other software business, is that we say internally that a typical customer of vFairs or any event tech software will use the software for months, primarily for those one day, two days of the event.

So again, we have this saying internally that, you know, we're not just only in the software industry.

We're also in the hospitality industry.

We want to make sure that those couple of days when the customer is going to use our platform, whether for a virtual event or for an in-person one, just goes flawless.

You want to make sure that leading up to that event, they feel great about the software.

They feel comfortable that things are going to be great.

And, you know, on the day of the event, it's like your wedding date cannot go wrong.

So you want to make sure that you do whatever it takes to make that event a highly successful one.

Think of this as this particular event, right?

You know, like, you know, we are here for a couple of days.

People over here must be planning for months for these two days.

And again, you want to make sure that in these two days are going to go well for everyone who's attending it.

And when it's virtual, the stakes are even higher because then everything is happening online in your platform.

People are networking in your platform.

People are having fun on your platform.

The entertainment, the sessions, the exhibitors, the speakers, everything is on your platform.

So we knew from day one that we want to make sure that people who are using our platform

they're being taken extremely seriously, not just as a SaaS vendor, but also as a, again, we just think of us being also in hospitality industry.

So what we did was, from day one, that when we built our software, we used our own software to actually run hundreds of events.

So that we don't just know about how technology plays a role in running a successful virtual event.
