 Welcome, everybody. Welcome to Portland. Welcome to the Float Conference. It's really great to see all of you guys here. I've met a lot of you just over my e-mail, so it's nice to get to see all of your faces for the first time. How's everyone doing? So here we are. I know it hasn't been the easiest time getting here. Some of us have traveled halfway across the world to be here. Some of us have wrestled with our schedules to make it for this weekend. We've all packed bags and ridden trains, budgeted finances, cancelled plans, lied to our day jobs, and done anything and everything to come sit together here in this room in this particular moment in time. Why is that? There's certainly easier ways to communicate than for all of us to hop on airplanes and come sit in a big room together. But here we are. And it actually doesn't take much more than just looking around you to realize exactly why that is. We're in an industry that's taking off right now. And by coming here, we get a first class ticket to that trip. Our industry is rapidly expanding because of the people in this room. Each of us is spending day and night spreading the word of floating in our own little corner of the world. We work tirelessly to get that information out. But for a brief moment, we all get together here together and combine our efforts. By coming out to this conference, we together have made an active, living, breathing medium to share information. We now have the ability to take all the new projects that we're working on individually and to share them with each other. We have a chance to not just communicate, but to collaborate. And through that collaboration, we get to form a community. And as a community, we get to accelerate. And we have certainly been accelerating. I can barely hold on. The float industry is basically exploding all around us right here in this room. We have new float tank manufacturers debuting their tanks here. We have new float tank specific products that people are selling. We have new float centers that have literally been securing their leases in the time that they have been here in Portland. That's not even to mention the incredible presentations we have coming up. We have Glenn and Lee Perry here to speak. We have expert on magnesium, researchers talking about stress and anxiety, float centers and manufacturers from around the world, a float tank documentary, float tanks and libraries, all four presidents that ever ran Iris. The old float tank research association are here in this room and will be giving presentations this weekend. I mean, I don't know if any of you guys have ever tried to look up information on float tanks before. But there's not a lot out there. Just in the act of putting on this conference, we're nearly doubling the amount of video footage that even exists on floatation. We're about to spend the next two days getting a first hand knowledge of the industry straight from the people who created it. We'll be learning information that is literally impossible to find anywhere else. We're about to be engulfed with the history, the science, the philosophy and the potential of float tanks. And I'm freaking excited for it. So strap yourselves in and let's have a conference.
