Chapters

The first thing that strikes you is you usually have significantly higher representation of providers, and providers feel that we have an open forum to talk about things that really bother us and things that we really want to talk about and things that we want to connect on and things where we want to give direct feedback to technology providers like, hey guys, this works for us, this does not work for us. And the buyers and the suppliers in the room hear from us firsthand. So I like the openness, and that's always been extremely helpful, the ability for the service providers to actually give direct feedback and that open forum and that open idea exchange. I'm pretty religiously attending all the webinars. So that's obviously— that's, that's, that's— and the content The content is never repetitive. And what I really like, and I've given this feedback to pretty much most associations that I've worked with, what I really like about Gala Content, it's never salesy. It's always informative. There's rarely commercial content. There is rarely commercial content. It's really content that you learn from. So I really, I see a lot of value in association. And as I said, if I were to Sum it up: always informational, valuable informational content, always the platform where service providers get to express their opinion, share what matters, get to provide feedback directly to technology providers, and hear directly from the buyers. So fostering this open dialogue and give the platform to service providers and very carefully crafted content for the events. So all in all, all in all, definitely see great value. And it's not— it's very open. It's a very open platform. It's a very open platform and a very open, very open organization. So big fan, big proponent. Thank you.
