 Well, we are so excited to be able to share with you details about the open ed 24 conference. And we'd like to do so now by showing you a short video 24 will be held on October 8 through 10. For the first time ever the conference will be going fully hybrid, meaning that it will be both virtual and in person right Alita. Yes, we want to emphasize that going virtual over the last four years has been an incredibly meaningful experience for all of us. Open ed 23 this year is the fourth fully virtual open ed conference since the coven 19 pandemic. And while the virtual format wasn't our plan at that time we adapted and build something truly amazing. We don't know whether you know, but since we went fully virtual we have doubled our participation and grown attendance from international attendees students and first time attendees. We have got a good momentum going virtually that we want to keep on building. That's right Alita in the move to hybrid. It's very important to us to ensure that the conference remains accessible to all who want to participate. We understand that coven 19 continues to impact us in a variety of ways, institutional budgets continue to be impacted, and many of us still are not willing or able to engage in in person gatherings. Additionally climate change causes some to question the impact and ecosystem ability of travel. In my mind, we will be placing just as much emphasis on the virtual components of the conference, as we are in the on the in person components. We're considering things like how many in person sessions to live stream, how we might have virtual keynotes and how best to support interaction between virtual and in person attendees. There's just much to explore. One thing we want to let you know is that we have already decided that the virtual registration cost will remain the same as this year's 2023 levels, and we will continue our practice of offering scholarships to expand virtual participation. As Al said, now I'd like to take a little time to share with everyone some about our in person host city of Providence Rhode Island USA. The venue and hotel is the Omni Providence, and you can keep an eye on the conference website for more information and that link will be posted in the chat. Providence is a vibrant city in the Northeast US that has a reputation of, yes, being in the smallest US state, but also of having incredible food, performing arts in a great downtown area, especially in the fall. It's also easily accessible by train or car from the whole Northeast Providence Airport has many direct flights, and it's only 15 minutes from downtown, and the much larger Boston Logan Airport is only 50 miles away. Our goal is to keep registration on par with the historic conference rate adjusted for inflation and post COVID pricing. I hope you are too. So, while space to attend in person will be limited. We're asking you to fill out this preliminary interest interest form, so that we can actually have an indication of whether or not you're more likely to to attend in person, or virtually. If you fill out the form he will be the first to know when in person registration and hotel booking goes live. More information about virtual and in person attendance will be shared in the coming months. Thanks Alita. As always the decision to move to hybrid was made with the needs of the community at the forefront. Thank you to share your thoughts and feedback with us throughout the year as we take on this new challenge. You can do this by attending our community meetings, filling out our feedback forms and contacting us directly. Stay tuned to our mailing list website and social media channel for updates. And on the behalf of the board, I would just like to say we are so excited to see you all in Providence or cyberspace. Thank you.
