It's a It's a big deal and they're really trying. They see how much it will benefit the community. And they're really excited to actually join our conference. So, we're having a conference which is for bookkeepers and accountants that really really help people continue grow their business, network, and be familiar with a lot more of what's going on in the industry. And who is invited? Is it for anybody that owns businesses or only for like bookkeepers and accountants? So, it's for bookkeepers and accountants that are looking to grow their business. It's actually our third event that we're making and we've had great success in the past. We had It wasn't last year, the prior year and the year before and we've had major success and every year we do a different theme. Two years ago we actually had from pricing, which is to help business owners price their service properly and there was amazing feedback. We brought like one of the biggest professionals in this field, Ron Baker, people know. And we're excited this year to have a focus on AI. There will be a time known before AI, after AI. Every business is trying to understand it. We're here to help of in our industry what needs to happen. We're actually bringing down one of the biggest professionals in our industry that uses AI, pushes AI to really help everyone understand how they need to implement into their business in order to be able to continue to grow. I'm going to tell you how excited companies will figure out themselves with AI how to manage the book keep the books. It's going to take over the data entry, which that's the exciting part. Why? Because that's that's the boring part of the job, but to help people understand what they're doing, to give insights, that's not going anywhere with AI right now. So, we're very excited that the boring part is going to be taken away. So, Marty, also it's so again it's only for accountants and bookkeepers, right?

It used to be that people would outgrow QuickBooks, they'd go to different softwares. Intuit realized that they had a customer, why they're getting rid of it. So, that's when they they shifted over, they created for it's called mid-size market. I'm very proud to be a part of actually the growth of this product. I meet with them once a month.
