all right everybody thank you besides for everything you've done to make this event happen give yourselves a big hand 2024 in the books and it was a heck of a year uh we I did a lot of new things this year we had some new uh uh training opportunities new you know uh facilitated discussion groups in Higher Ground that seemed to go over really well uh people were very enthusiastic about that change from our previous uh mentoring we had there uh we had 491 proposals this year for talks across our various tracks uh we had 202 talks and trainings across those 10 tracks uh well excuse me we I think 2011 because we had one that uh we had a last minute

cancellation due to a little bit of a food incident at noou um uh with 45 minutes before the talk and we couldn't uh we couldn't get a speaker in in time but uh any rate uh I was uh really pleased with the the quality and the caliber of the talks this year our Keynotes were both we got a lot of people coming up after who were very now um I'm not Hello is the mic fading in and out okay I will I will attempt to be very intimate with this mic um so forgive me if I I get a little carried but uh at any rate uh so what I was saying was uh not knowing where that cut out

exactly uh we had a lot of uh good feedback on the two Keynotes that we had the people coming up afterwards uh really engaged we had a difficult time actually getting one of the keynote speakers to her next talk which was directly afterwards so that's a lesson for us not to try and schedule that next year [Laughter] um at any rate uh um uh one of the biggest things of course this year was uh our new uh partnership with Sky talks which we've always been big fans of um we've

always that's what I love to hear uh we've always had a strong commitment to this kind of uh community and this kind of Discovery and sort of unfettered uh discussion of ideas through our own underground track but having the uh the full focus of the sky talks folks able to just you know be you know doing that and that alone uh was amazing for us to have here and we're very honored to have them as part of the team uh we do have you know uh I think we we got a little better with the Lions this time went on but we already have some ideas for how to do that better next year uh so uh
