Yes, I'm ready.

Sure.

So Growth Marketing Conference has been around for four years.

We actually started as a startup marketing conference and as a community of entrepreneurs and founders.

And eventually when we changed the main name to Growth Marketing Conference, then when we start seeing success, attracting larger companies, product growth marketing managers from companies like Adobe, Google.

And then this is the first year when the conference actually became profitable.

I personally wouldn't recommend anyone to start

The conference of the bat, unless you're really passionate about it and you're really thinking about it long term.

For me, it's bringing people together, connecting people and running events and something that I would do without getting paid.

That's why I'm still in business.

Oh, no.

So we've always been profitable.

So, yeah, in 2015, it was our first profitable event.

Startup Marketing Conference was the one that was not very profitable.

But this year is the first time when we will collect more or less sizable profit.

Previously, we were investing every profit, every dollar that we made into the future development of the event.

We had about 400 people.

Well, so our first one was actually a startup marketing conference back in 2014.

We had about 300 people.

So and originally you met some of a few of my partners.
