This conference definitely helps our business.
Like I said, it's really an opportunity for us to highlight all
the products that we have that are new and exciting.
I try to bring and highlight
things that are new this year.
Pretty much everything on this table are new products for 2026.
And what makes this conference different? I think it's just
really there's a lot of decision makers here,
which is really good for us as a business to be talking
to childcare owners, to actually, the providers that are in the classroom,
and connect with even larger centers that
have multiple locations.
And it gives us that time
to really have that in-person
connection that we don't often get to have.
So it's kind of like a
bang for your buck you get to see
lots of different customers over a short course of time because
the conference is only
a day and so it gives us a chance to connect
with a lot of customers and get our products out there.
