Well, hello. We are back for our sessions in New York on the 15th of October. I can't wait to see you guys there. Now we're gonna start off with, for you senior treasurers out there, as we did last March, we had 36 treasurers come and join us for our roundtable sessions in New York. Now you can see up here, we'll be able to see I'm having it moderated by Tom Hunt from the AFP. He's coming to join us. Debbie Kea. Who is coming to join us from Chrysal Coalition Greenwich, and I'll be there. I'll have a couple of other moderators actually from Herbert Smith, Kramer Levin. They're going to come along. We're going to choose one of those guys to come and talk about whichever topics you want to talk about. You treasurers are going to share a room for 3 hours and we're going to do round tables. And people have said before, what do the sponsors decide? Sponsors aren't allowed in. Just you guys. It's amazing. You get to talk about and pre-choose your challenges that you're facing, and you get to talk about those over the course of 3 hours. You come with your challenges, you work through them, and the feedback last time, well, as has been in London as well, tremendous. People saying, we love these roundtables. It's the only chance we get to actually talk to each other in a Chatham House rules environment where there's no agenda bar the one that we set. So thank you very much. My pleasure for doing it for you. That is happening on Thursday, 15th of October, between 3:00 PM, 6:00 PM. Alongside that, I noticed in the past that at the end of the evening, sometimes there were a few badges left over. Now, we don't blame you guys. I saw someone on LinkedIn the other day go, oh, someone didn't show up to my event. Oh, they signed up. No, because they're busy. You guys are busy people. It's your fault as an organizer if they don't show up to your event, not the people that are coming to the event. Why are you criticizing them? Really annoyed me. Anyway, I'll get off my high horse. What you need to do, which I noticed before, is provide more value. So that's what we're doing. If you are a treasury analyst, manager, assistant treasurer, maybe up to that level, and you want some advice from 3 incredible treasurers, God, if only you could come along between 5 and 6 PM on that Thursday, sit in just around lots of chairs rather, just sit down with people and talk to Trish Fisher, Treasurer of WAFRA, Treasury nerd. That's what she calls herself, not me. Um, Brian Harrison, Vice President Treasury at NBCUniversal. Brian been on stage with me again. Thank you Brian for coming and helping out. And Ty Carr Fraser, VP and Treasurer at Capri Holdings. They, the 3 of them, they're gonna do 3 little groups and you're gonna get to come along and talk about, ask them the questions you want to know between 5 and 6 PM on Thursday, 15th of October. We did this in London. I was a bit worried and actually I I should have been worried because at 5 o'clock there are only 8 treasury analysts and managers. Why? Because all of them were rushing to our session because they were so busy with doing their day jobs. But by 10 past, which is a bit scary, we had 28 treasury analysts and managers joining us. So we had our Treasurer's session running, Ask the Treasurer, sorry, the roundtables are running, which is great. We then had our in-the-room discussion groups going, 28 of them. The feedback was just off the charts. So that meant we started our evening session for our panel from the runs from 6:30 till 7:30. So 6 o'clock registration. If you can only make that, that's fine, but you're gonna miss out on some amazing value throughout the afternoon. But what you can then do is come to our evening session. Where then I am joined by Manoj Panda, Vice President Treasurer at Bausch and Lomb, Brooke Tilton Foley, the Vice President Treasurer, Treasury Operations at Paramount, and Rob Westreich, Senior VP Treasurer, Chief Tax Officer at Newell Brands, who recently was on my podcast. Manoj is actually coming up as a podcast guest as well. I talked to them. Throughout the evening from 6:30, 6 o'clock registration, 6:30, we sit down and talk. It's free at the offices of Herbert Smith, Free Hills, right in Midtown. So easy to get to as well. Just 5 minutes walk from Times Square. And then 7:30 we do networking drinks. Thursday, 15th of October, week before I'm doing Chicago, straight into New York for the Thursday, 15th. It's free. If you've been to one of our events before, you are gonna love it. So come along, join us, and you also get free CTP credits for doing it as well. Looking forward to seeing you. Thank you.
