It's going to be happening on the 14th of November 2023 and it's going to be held in York. Right, so let me type this in on this screen here. York, not New York for my American viewers. York in the uk, Right, where Harry Potter and all that cool stuff, Steam trains Vikings. That's York. Okay. It's the 14th of November and it starts at 7pm UK. We've got over 200 people that are down to come already and that means we've got 100 tickets left at this point. I wanted to say a massive thank you to the sponsors. I've been announcing them slowly over the course of the last couple of months, but we've got iconic training who have got a first drink for everybody, which is huge. Host and stay have come on board as a sponsor for the event. I'll talk more about them at the event. We've got Price Labs, so it's amazing to see blueprint offers. Price Labs have come on board as a sponsor. Hospitable. One of the leading property Management softwares. We've got such synergy in our clients and who we represent, so that's fantastic that they're involved. We've got Super Hog, AKA know your guest, great to have them involved. And Team Touch Day Digital Guidebook Kings and Queens, which is fantastic. As well as the Social media club and a company that you are all going to find out more about at the event which is called Made by Evolved. If you ever need any print doing, those are the people to use and they're going to be providing so much cool stuff for the event. If it wasn't for those sponsors, this event couldn't have been put forward. It's as simple as that. They have helped this happen and help this come to fruition, which is huge. So I thank every single one of them for doing so. And we've got a couple of more very special sponsors to announce as well, very, very soon, which I can't say more about at the moment, but soon I will do, which is going to be very cool. So this is the lineup, this is what's going to be happening and like I said, this is event is no talks, there's no presentations, no pitching. This is just fun and games and a chance to meet up, network and have a, have a great time. Like an end of year blowout. This is not just for people in the uk, this is not for people in the North.
