 Hey everybody, hey, how's it going? Hey, how are you? Doing good. Hi, Tony. Matt, are you ready? Yep. I'm excited to see it in action. Yep, all good. Taking a break from open SSS across the street. Yeah, how's it going? It's going well. Good. Good. Conference, conference, conference. I've only been home for two days since I saw you in Paris. Only two days. Yeah. My gosh. Have you been fun places though since then? Phoenix. Tucson. San Francisco. Here, Seattle. And then back to San Francisco in a week for RSA. Yeah. Oh, wow. Perfect. No problem. Everybody. Give y'all a chance to log in and get, get comfy. And we'll get started in a little bit. Good. Matt, you will be at the beginning. We're going to kind of go through the first couple housekeeping slides of. Recording and all that good stuff. And then I'll hand over to you. And share the screen with you. Is that right? Yep. Well, I'm going to share my screens. Everything queued up as long as I have screen shareability. All right. And that's what happens when I give Libby a good idea in Paris as she has me present that idea. Yep. Don't bring me an idea unless you want to do it. At the next meeting. Everybody hang tight. We're going to let everyone join in. Give him another couple of minutes. Hello. Hey, Carla. How's it going? Good. Good. Thanks. How are you Libby? I'm doing good. I'm just. Are you a Seattle? I'm not this week. I am not. That is. Uh-huh. Lucky you. I'm having four more. Everybody there. Yeah. Yeah, that's going pretty good so far. Matt, I'm here. I'm in Seattle too. We should meet up later today. Oh, Melissa. Yeah, let's do it. Yeah. It is a really fun event. I'm like. I'm fun to connect with a bunch of people. Yeah. I'll find you at the conference later, Matt. I've got a booth. So. Okay, I'll come by your booth. My hair is pretty easy to find. So. Just waiting on a few more. And then. Katie's going to get our slides pulled up. So. Everyone hang tight. Okay. Okay. Everyone ready? Yes, Matt. I will. All right. Thanks y'all for joining us for this month's marketing committee meeting. We are changing things up just a little bit this week and we'll have a poll at the end. A survey monkey. A couple of questions poll to kind of get an idea of if you like this and what we can do in the future. So let's go ahead and get started. This is our conference date today. This is how you join in the next meeting will be May 1st. Same time, same place. The call is recorded. You can find these recordings on our YouTube playlist for marketing committee meetings. So if you ever miss one, feel free to check it out there and direct anyone asking that way too. And just a quick notice to keep the attorneys out of things. So. Let's, let's do that. And our agenda for today, going over this real quickly, we're going to kick things off with our guest speaker Matt Denny at testify sec. He, as Matt mentioned, he came and did some office hours at KubeCon and got himself wrangled into hosting this week by sharing some good ideas. So we will kick things over to him. He's going to show us some cool stuff with AI. After that, we'll do a quick KubeCon debrief, the way we typically do. And it'll be open for chat. Then some quick team updates and key takeaways where we'll also send out the survey monkey link at the end. And then you can also copy it and we'll email that out as well. So keep things. Keep things short and sweet today. All right. So I'm going to hand over to Matt. If you want to share your screen. I'm going to send you in and you can take it away. Awesome. Thanks, Libby. And before I share my screen, just to know some of you, but to introduce myself more. Matt Denny from testify sec. Some people call me Mohawk if you figure out why you get a prize. But really love all things brand marketing, storytelling and everything that we do on this call. So I want to kick it off with a tool that I found, very useful. I'm going to share my screen now. I can't share my screen. Oh, there we go. So this is a tool called video AI. So I'm not sure everyone's experiencing the call, but I do a lot of videos. I have for many years over in the past, probably three to four years, maybe five years, I've either recorded myself or edited for others, probably close to realistically probably close to five to six thousand. Like I do a lot with video in a lot of spaces. And so as AI started to come out the last few years, I got really interested in the AI video editing features. And this is a tool that I personally found. There's a lot out there. But this is my favorite. And it's called video AI, like BID, Y O dot AI. And that's also the website. And I'm not promoting them. This is just my favorite. This is just an example of things that are out there. But what I want to show was how it cause for my company now and in general, we do a lot of webinars, things like that. I know some others don't call it do as well. And it's, how do they take that big chunk of content and then turn that into other pieces of content? It used to be me going through editing like 50 different pieces or hiring someone to do that and edit all these pieces of content individually. But now if video AI and other tools like it, it's pretty simple. So I have something queued up, but I do want to show just how easy it is. You just load a new project, load the file. You can even just load a link from YouTube if it already exists. And it'll just cut it. It'll just download it directly from YouTube, which is kind of cool because you can't always download stuff from YouTube if they don't have download feature on, but this will do that for you. So I've already got one queued up for time's sake, because depending on the time of the video, like the length depends on how fast it cuts and what that looks like. So when, when there's projects in here, you can see some different projects I've got. The one I'm going to show you is a recent interview with our CEO. So what's really cool is inside here, you can set up a lot of different things. So I think I have my default set to portrait right now. So it starts to just cut those clips into that. But what it does, I'm going to walk through some of the navigation before I share some more. So it puts all the clips over here. This, this time it created 17 shorts. And it also rates them based on what it thinks is either content that matches the title or that is full sentences and full, full clips. And again, it's AI. So it guesses and I can show you what, how you can adjust that after and in a minute. You can see these are 52, 55, 25, 52 seconds of great little clips. And it rates them. And sometimes even though there is a score, sometimes my favorite ones are on the bottom end because it doesn't always know what it's rating against. It just guesses. Yeah. So I'll go into one. So this is one of the clips here. You can have on the top here, you can use landscape portrait, portrait split. If you want to do the side by sides or the top and bottoms, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram formats. You can also create templates to make it really easy to. So I'll go into this one just to show. Oh, move my screen up just a little bit. There we go. Okay. So like I said, it kind of guesses it guesses what the clips are and how they work. You can add backgrounds. You can add all kinds of stuff. I don't think I turned the sound on. Did I? When I shared my screen to unite develop. That's okay. We don't need the sound. But what's really great is if it cuts off like right. Maybe it cut off like two seconds before the gold or the nugget. You just scroll the bar. And so you can control and you can move. You can add how much it does and up to the whole video. So like it cuts the clip for you and guesses, but then you can also add and remove time on the front and back. Over here, what's really cool. And I think this is what, I think Libby thought this was cool until I showed her this stuff. And then she was like, Oh, that's really easy. Over here. So it's got a bunch of different tools, cut magic. So it can, it can like naturally cut to different heads. If you've got multiple feeds in here. And it can add subtitles. And this is how you edit the subtitles. It's got a lot of elements. You can have all your logos and everything saved in here and just reload them. And the intros, outros, whatever you guys do with video, if you do that, media, texts, backgrounds, what you would expect. But what's really cool is the AI descriptions. So if I want to create some LinkedIn content for this clip specifically, I just go LinkedIn and generate description. And magically I distract you while it does this thing. Well, that's loading. Are there any questions at this point, comments, thoughts? As people use this before things like this. I can't see yet. So I'm assuming we'll get. Yeah. Oh, sorry. Go ahead. Anna, I wanted to ask Matt. Thank you first of all for sharing this, but what would you say is the highest benefit that you got? Do you save time? Is it the fact that because of the massive amount of videos you produce, your workload is now much lighter? Yes. Yeah. So two major benefits. One is time for me. Another is I can teach anyone how to use this. I don't, I don't need a special skill set or video editor. I can put anyone on this on this task assistance. I've had our CEO use it before because he needed a clip and I couldn't log in. So if you can make a CEO do it, anyone can use it. Right. I tell them that all the time. Does that answer your question, Carl? Absolutely. Yeah. Goshly. Thanks. I was just saying, I've used a similar platform called course. I, the records, you know, intro calls and demos and things, but this seems much more advanced. Is this an open source product or do you have a license for this? I have a license. You can, it has free services. I just do too much video to go past the free piece. Okay. Very cool. It's a service that you pay for, but they do have, you can do like. You can do a free trial or free account that gives you like. 150 minutes to play with it and see, and it's minutes that you load, not minutes that it cuts. So if you load a 40 minute video, that counts out as your minutes. Awesome. Thank you so much. This is really cool. You're welcome. So is that loaded? You can see it. I just threw in a YouTube LinkedIn pause. You can see just a quick little YouTube thing. And it really customizes based on the platform, which is really cool. That was YouTube short that it did. Here's a Twitter one. And it's just, again, it's just time. We're all, most of our marketing lives live in a one person team. We're very small teams. So this is just a tool I found extremely helpful. And yeah, and I use it and then you just export it. You can set it up where it publishes straight for you. Like when it's done, when it's done saving, it'll like push to your platforms. I don't use that feature. I just export it and then schedule it with our regular scheduling tool. But yeah, I'll stop or pause there. If there's questions, if not, I guess I'm done. I love this. I think that you hit on exactly what probably a lot of y'all are dealing with is small teams and trying to put out a lot of content. So I think it's something that really saves time. And does anybody else have any questions or comments? Can you hear me? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, I just throw into the chat a tool that I use that's particularly useful for audio and or presentations that aren't human video heavy called Descript. And it's fundamentally different than any other editing software I use in that the user interface for cutting and pasting is a text editor. You don't want to duplicate a word or you have some phrase you don't want to do. You just delete the words and it'll delete it from the video. It'll cut cut it from the video. And it also has a one, a one click feature to get rid of all arms and errors and you know, that sort of stuff. No, it's sort of all that noise. I love the script. I actually use a script sometimes before I put them into this tool because then I've got some things cleaned up and I use the audio sound feature too. Yep. Yeah. You can use multiple tools. Descript is definitely one of the most useful for me because I hate cutting and pasting little bits of text. And it's great for transcriptions too. Awesome. Where's the data stored after editing? Do you stay owner or are they using it for other purposes or developing the tool itself? You can opt into either one of those. So they have they have an opt-in feature like do you want to keep it to yourself? I keep everything to myself. Or myself. So this, I can tell I'm with the tech community when they ask these kinds of questions. I love it. So great. If anyone has, I'll be on. I'm in this. I'm in the CNCF Slack. If there's, we want to more walkthrough or help setting it up. Happy to help. Just help the community and such. So otherwise, thanks, Libby. Yeah, thank you, Matt. So this is an example of something we're wanting to open up and we'll pull about on the survey monkey. Matt came to us with an idea and thought this is something useful. The marketing committee might want to see. So if there's other ideas, be thinking about what you want to add into that survey of things that you're using that you think the other community members might enjoy or be useful ways that, you know, you're doing marketing using benefits, things like that. So we want to start bringing the community in to help each other and open that up. So thank you again, Matt. That was awesome. All right. I'm going to hand over to the PR team is who is here today. I can't see. Do you have Jesse or who's here? Yeah, sorry. No problem. Here. Hey. Hey. Yeah. So we had a really, really great cube con from a media perspective. It was really, really good. We had a bunch of media in person, all in person. So I wrote virtually, but I meant in person. So it was just a huge amount of analysts attended. We had the largest number of like original articles that published within like the first week that we've ever had. It was, it was just really great coverage, really good. It was, it was really, really successful. We had a press conference to roundtables discussing what's next in cloud native and cloud native security. And then 71 members are actually sponsors now sponsors commit submitted contributed content ahead of the event which published in our media partner publications. So it was, it was just, it was so successful. I had a really great, I had a really great event. I loved it. So yeah, you can go to the next one. I highlighted next year. Three different articles that I thought were really kind of represented quite nicely the coverage that we got. This one was also actually from an analyst who wrote a really great outline of cyber security highlights from the event. And then the next two are from full on reporters. So we have next one did genomic and actually Chris, Chris wrote a bunch of really great articles. If you go into his, this one. And then Forbes, this is from Adrian. Both of those reporters wrote a bunch of really great articles within like the like the week. Actually, they're still coming out. But if you look at their, all of the articles that they've written, it's worth a look really great insight from the event. And then I have outlined also, I don't know if my, is it Libby is my, maybe my computer is going to release though that CNCF announced we made a ton of announcements. As you can see, we had a, we had a bunch of announcements directly from CNCF. And then we had a large number of project and working group announcements as well. So it was, it was just, it was really great. Everybody got a lot of good coverage. Actually, the projects that made announcements at the event got good coverage. So here they all are for everybody to look at. And then I also included just some of the, some more highlights from the coverage that we got. Worth a look bunch, just a bunch of really great coverage, specifically out of the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, the UK, the US. So yeah, it was, it was great. There you go. I'll, I'll hand it over to the analysts relations. I think Trisha or Carl. Yeah, Jesse. I'm here. So I'm going to take this one. Yeah. Yeah. Just as Jesse was saying, I mean, there was consistent theme that keep con Paris showcase to more mature and diverse cloud native landscape. And the analysts were all over that in their blogs and their, their coverage. And I think we're going to continue to see that, that markedly greater emphasis on AI, I sustainability, observability, platform engineering. I could go on. But as you see here, there's a lot of technology is like, wow them as well. You know, the whole point is that, you know, we're seeing a consistent theme of the market maturing, cube con expanding its reach. We're seeing what's really interesting to me now. And we've had analysts at this event, like Jesse was saying, in terms of global coverage, we had an analyst come from as far as, I mean, we had one from Australia and Malaysia. And so they're all coming to cube con EU. And, and we're seeing, you know, they want to be at both shows consistently. So that's, that's just a fun balance we're working with. If you want to go ahead and go to the next slide. One thing that we see is the analysts are not only, go ahead and click to the next slide. There you go. The analysts. I choose this just because it's a great example of what I was just saying, but also the analysts are not just blogging to their own firm sites, but they're also publishing on media outlets. So you saw the tech target article that Jesse just highlighted. Here's one, you know, with avid think, and it's published on fierce telecom on the next slide. You'll see also an example here where there was an article, several articles actually by Mary Jander and Scott Rainovich over at Futurium, which was also, they also repositioned as a feature article and Forbes. So the reach of the analysts is really kind of that blur of media and analysts, but in balance with that, and if you want to go to the next slide, which is interesting is, you know, outside of the KubeCon show insights coverage, many of the analysts are letting us know they're planning ongoing reports. And this is important to everyone on this call because, you know, one of the most important things that they let us know in a feedback survey that they saw as one of the top benefits in attending KubeCon was really meeting with the vendors and talking to, you know, seeing the demos, going and visiting the booths, talking to the sponsors, and then also attending the sessions and talking with the end users. So we're seeing, you know, and this is just a sample of the coverage. What you see with the analysts compared to media is they're slower in getting their coverage out. And there are also a lot of their work that is going to go up from these shows and attending shows up in the research and they're, you know, they run to research calendars that they set at the beginning of the year. So that's really, you know, that's really important to know that it's a consistent drum beat of coverage that we'll see coming out from the analysts through their firms, through their research. And that's in part, I think too, why they want to have a stronger pulse and attend the event more consistently regardless of the geography. One thing as well, if you go to the next slide, is we are seeing a consistent increase of self-produced podcasts and videos. We had a lot of feed on the street. This isn't, you know, these are just examples. And no way is this the full coverage. They're producing their own podcasts and they're bringing in experts or people into those podcasts, but we're also seeing the analysts attend as speakers with media videos, with vendor videos. So, you know, the analyst community is incredibly active. And we're seeing the synergies between the vendors, the media, the analysts, the practitioners, the whole ecosystem, which is really exciting. And just in closing on the final slide, we're seeing, you know, they're incredibly active on social media. So it's a lot of fun when you're at the events, follow some of these folks. This is just an example. We had, I think, over 75 analysts alone on, you know, feed on the street in Paris, but you can get a lot of their real-time feedback because they are actively blogging as well. So if anyone has any questions, please let myself or Carl or Jesse know, or Chad or any of us, but this is just kind of some of the highlights coming out of the event. Awesome. Thanks, Trisha. All right, heading to membership growth. Here is a look at our new members. Welcome, everyone, and end-user supporters and silver end-users into content marketing. Okay, this is still me. Quick overview of your online programs from the last month of March. A little lower because we had a few weeks off for KubeCon. But remember to book your online programs. The views on YouTube, as you can see, are just getting higher and higher. The content y'all are sending in and creating is great. People are loving it. And just keep booking. If you have any questions on how many you have left, how to use them, where to book them, feel free to send any questions to me or you can click through these links. End-user case studies. I think we were going to take this one. These are just the updates of the case studies that we've been bringing in. Take a look. You can submit your proposals via GitHub. And likewise with the blogs. These are just a little update on your blog metrics. Continue sending those over to the blog team. And when you have blogs, I'll remind you to submit also to the Kube Weekly newsletter at kubeweeklyatcncf.io for consideration to that newsletter as well. And over to Jeefy with projects. Hello, hello. If you hear a cat in the background, I apologize, she is being pathetic. All right, chat loop back off for the next month. Here is the schedule. Currently it's been bouncing between myself hosting and Jeremy Rickard. We're going to be expanding hosts to a couple more community members. I'm going to ride into the sunset and then hopefully this becomes more community owned with ambassadors coming in as well. The projects that we've picked are mainly projects that our end users have been interested in. And we have been getting quite a few views, especially since it's kind of started out of nowhere. So just wanted to call that out. Next slide. Another plug from the last meeting, but we now have a site dedicated for resources for our projects. This doesn't involve things like our marketing committee and marketing support. So please go in there, see if we're missing anything. PRs are welcome, but also if there's just something completely missing, reach out to myself, Libby, whoever on the team, and we will get it updated and available to our projects. And next slide. This I think is the more important slide out of the three. We have welcomed six new sandbox projects. The project list grows and grows. I wouldn't say that there's any insight or pattern around these projects that got voted in. Right now the TOC is focusing on getting first in, first out. So it's not like we're focusing on AI or we're focusing on workloads. However, if you look at, you know, what projects did get accepted just now, a couple of them focus on application delivery and a couple of them are focused on improving networking and one is security related. But all of them are pretty interesting. So I would definitely point these out to people within your org or just look yourself because they're pretty dope. That's it for me, questions, comments. The cat finally left the room of course once I'm done. Awesome. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Over to Katie. Hi everyone. So some updates on the community programs side. KCDs we've completed eight this year so far and we have 24 more in the planning phases for 2024, which is a super exciting start for us. And we're excited to see this program continue to grow. Upcoming CFP deadlines. So if you're, if you have coworkers or your base in any of these areas or you want to grow your networks in other areas, we definitely recommend this is a great place to get started. So KCD Lima and KCD Washington DC, both have open CFPs at this time. Upcoming events are Bucharest, Romania, DACA and New York. And then KCD Zurich in person June 12th is already, 12th and 13th is already sold out but has workshop tickets available if you're interested in that. And then of course open for the sponsor prospectus can be found on our KCD GitHub repository. And thanks, Lincoln. Yeah, also KCD Austria CFP is open as well. And then check out our upcoming CNCGs. These are community meetups. If you're local to any of these areas, we definitely recommend checking these out. They are picking up a lot of traction. We're seeing a lot of growth with our meetups and a lot of cool, interesting topics coming out of each of them. So I definitely recommend dropping in and building your network that way. And I'll hand it on over to Celia for events. Thanks, Katie. All right, so we're going to start off with just a debrief from the KubeCon cloud native com in Europe. As was mentioned, it was a very successful event from a lot of different viewpoints. On the next slide, Katie, we have just the initial kind of demographics that were put out immediately following the event. We had just over 12,000 attendees. You can see some great information here on demographics. There is a link to the YouTube playlist and the Flickr album, just a reminder that any of the photos in the album can be used. So feel free to grab anything there. And then we're working on the final transparency report, which should be available by the end of the week. And on the next slide, a few questions. If we want to open up for discussion, feel free to put any feedback in the chat as well. And we can grab it from there and record for follow-up. But just if anyone has anything that they think worked well or maybe didn't work quite so well, things you want to see in the future or any areas of improvement that you would like to mention, feel free to come off mute and let us know. I'll just chime in real quick. We heard from a lot of our members, and I'd love to hear from everyone else on this call, that this was a super successful event for them, that they felt that the sponsor showcase floor was super busy. They saw a lot of interest and a lot of lead gen coming from that. Our project pavilion was super packed. We saw great feedback from that as well. So kudos to George Castro for running that. Those like project pavilion tours twice a day to really shed light on each of the projects and really make that introduction for the community. But we would really love to hear, you know, what worked well with your company, maybe something that people should consider for their own implementation as they go into QCon North America or if they're participating in QCon China or India. I think that's a great place to kind of think of, but we did hear that this was a super successful event. But we're always, we always know that there's room for improvement. So sharing, you know, what you think could be improved upon will try our best. We can't always make promises. Now, I see a lot of people posting project pavilion. Great work for this event. It was awesome. Martine said it was the best event for us ever, mostly since we started joining events. We did a bingo action to make people come back to our booth to score coworkers. I love that. Maybe you can give us a little bit more insight on what that bingo action looked like for your company, Martine. Yeah, I can tell you more about it. We made a bingo card with pictures of our coworkers. Some were just visiting side events and some were all day at the booth. And we noticed it was just a trial, but we noticed that people were coming by our booth several times. So you start learning each other and start to know each other and you make different talks with people. So it's better than just people walking by and just not, and walk on. So it was good to really interact with people at the event. And we had two persons who really had a full bingo card so they could win something from us. That's awesome. I love that. Yeah, I can also share that. Definitely, I had the same feeling about the Project Pavilion, which sometimes ended up being a bit far from the rest of the Expo floor, but this time it was at the very heart of it and it felt like we were... You really put it at the center of the event, I think it improved the experience of all those projects that are the foundation of this community, which is great. But generally speaking, even at the Isovalent booth, we had a constant flow of people very eager to learn. So it wasn't just the amount of people, it was their interest, the fact that they wanted to know more about the projects and what we were doing. So there was a real interaction, especially with our hands-on labs. So we gave them the opportunity to get their hands dirty a little bit, try some sealant labs, etc. So we saw that working really well. Again, the learning part, so getting something out of it that is useful. We also did lightning talks. And again, that can go very wrong, but we had so many people that, again, testament of how much people were there to get away with something in terms of knowledge and useful information for their daily job and more. So indeed, that was great. Definitely the best I've seen so far. One thing that obviously was hard, I don't know if other sponsors had the same experience, we had quite a few e-cups with vendors, I don't know if it was a country issue, but yeah, it was particularly bad and it made logistics challenging. But yeah, we also got your support with that and we're very grateful. So we can see the effort in alleviating the pain. And lastly, one thing that I think we can still, I don't know, improve a little bit is the party. It doesn't always feel like a party and it's always hard for sponsors and exhibitors because we are working there and it doesn't feel like a break. It feels like a longer day, which on the one hand is great because it's more networking opportunity, but on the other hand, it's not like switching off, okay, I'm gonna stay with the community and enjoy the time. Yeah, that's my summary feedback. Thanks Karla, we appreciate that feedback. I really appreciate you providing us insight about the feel of the booth crawl party from a vendor perspective and I'm not sure if there's other people on this call, that feels the same way, but we'd love to hear that. So that way our team can kind of figure out from our end how we can brainstorm a solution to make it feel more party and less work for your staff. And if you have any idea, we would love to hear them as well. Yeah, it's hard to find solutions because of the numbers. I know that's one of the main reasons why it's been difficult lately because they've done us grown so much. And I don't know if it's a matter of separating, like close the floor, but not closing it. So close the booth and just keep the party going for a while. It can be as easy as that, or if the possibility of going somewhere else is completely out of question. Yeah, I will say it's really hard to always plan an offsite. We used to do it for many years for those who may not have gone to previous coupons. It can become very expensive to host an event offsite. You have to think through the logistics of transportation, especially for that number of people. And we started to see a real huge decline in people attending the offsite event versus just coming to the cube crawl. But we are open to figuring out a way to make it have more of a balance at the cube crawl. So thank you for bringing that forward. And I know the events team who are on this call appreciate that candor. And I know that they'll kind of take that back internally and work together to figure out what else we can do. Thank you. Yeah, and Katie just throwing on there too, that we have been discussing this internally as well, just from different feedback that we've gotten from sponsors and attendees. So it's something that's high on our radar to kind of brainstorm some different ideas and make improvements where we can. So thanks for that, Carla. Hi, this is Gina from Spectro Cloud. I do share some of the sentiments that Carla had. Overall, for our company, it was definitely the best cube con. I heard a lot of my sales team saying, yay, this is the best cube con quality of discussions, so that was fantastic. I have been, this is like my fifth cube con I've been to. So I've been to other ones and I felt like just talking about the cube crawl, I really love the experience at Detroit. I felt that was like more of a fun party, but I know sometimes whichever host country, it may be hard to do those type of experiences, but I really enjoyed myself at that party. And I do like it as a vendor to have it stay in there and the showcase. I think for us is we made it more fun. I don't know if you notice us, but we had blue wigs. And so I feel like if you create more of like a party atmosphere, then everyone knows that it's their party time. Maybe I suggest a tip. Is there an opportunity to have like the, us sponsors get our drinks maybe like fast track quicker because that's waiting in line and it's like, then there's not a lot of booth coverage. I know that can be challenging, but I want my team to have a good time. And then I think some of the challenges I did face like Carla did was the host country may not be as friendly as other host countries that we've had. And so this for me was a little bit more challenging. I experienced, but, and then this first time I did co-located, I feel like there's opportunities to improve and co-located. I feel like it's so great when I do the regular Kubecon booth and everything runs seamless, but then co-located is not as seamless. So I spent a ton more time there for setup. But I did learn a lot that you may not need as much of an experience there like you do to Kubecon. So because it was my first one, I did learn a lot, but I noticed like it was harder to like make sure I had the right internet and things and things are more spread out and I understand it's co-located. And then I think that's it. I really do like the opportunity where we can express more of like our own type of experience. Like hearing about the bingo card, I definitely want to hear more about that. I think that was neat. It was fun because in my past life, I've always done an experience where it's like roll and when. And so just to share that people love to roll and when. And so I had a blue fuzzy dice and people are like, what's the blue fuzzy dice? And so it's really interesting that even though they're not coming for you, if you're standing in the Iowa way and you're holding blue fuzzy dice, people will come up to you. So that was something else that I feel like in the EU Kubecons, they're much more apt to check it out too. But just want to share some, some best practices there. Thanks, Gina. That's great. And I love hearing the fun that you brought into your booth with the blue fuzzy dice and the, and the wigs. I think you're right. Bringing a level of like carefree fun and making it engaging and making people want to stop and ask questions is a great way to kind of generate that, that positivity around your beard. I know Lincoln shared a few things in the chat before she had to run just kind of around the over the growing of increasing number of colos and not being sure which ones to pick. So our team will also review that as well. And I, before we move on to the next thing for Celia, I do want to address that. We did hear a lot of feedback in regards to challenges that our community felt not just from a vendor side, but across, you know, attendee attendees within the venue. And we did address that with a venue and let them know for, for future events when they're engaging with other communities. So that way they can continue to approve. So we do appreciate when you raise those things because it allows us to work with the venue. So that way they can be better for, for the next one. So thank you again for all of that. I'm going to go ahead and move on to the next side. If you have any additional feedback, feel free to share it. You know, either in the chat or, you know, reach out to Libby myself and I believe Celia, if you have any questions, please feel free to leave them in the chat. And if you have any additional feedback, feel free to leave them in the chat. And I'm going to move on to the next slide. The survey is still open as well. Thanks, Katie. All right.

And now for some member feedback. All right. I'm going to go through this. I'm going to go through this in the chat real quick so that everyone has it to link to. This is a quick survey. Like I mentioned, it's only like four questions. Just to give you an overview. Like we did with Matt today. Is there something that you're utilizing and want to share with the community? Are there ways that you are using your benefits that are working out? Are there blog posts you found successful? Etcetera. Dig in and let us know. And if there's anything you want to share about your marketing experience, let us know. And this is something we can open up to the group and have you talk in one of these meetings as well. Also, let us know if you want to hear from other members on how they're using their benefits. Or if you want to hear things from us, let us know. So again, quick survey. Feel free to take it now, take it later. We'll leave it open for probably the rest of the week. And just be sure to provide your feedback. So we know how to make the most of these meetings in your time. And just key takeaways. This will be quick. Our next meeting again is May 1st. Be sure to register for your upcoming events and click through those CFPs. Take the survey. And also Ashley posted the Paris attendee survey in the chat. So be sure to take that as well. But somebody is getting that it's closed. So it's just so silly that maybe we can. Take a look at that and make sure. But otherwise, I think that that is it from us, unless anyone has any questions or anything else they want to discuss. And if not, we will see you next time. Thanks everyone. Thank you. Bye bye.
