Rob MarshallHOST
I'm keen to hear a little bit about that and perhaps maybe kick off by telling us what was the focus of that particular forum and where it's focus lens was heading as you went into that particular event?

Amanda LintonGUEST
So, it was a really great event to follow up the conversations, I suppose, that we started at the Cosboa Conference.

Amanda LintonGUEST
So, we had some amazing conversations at the Cosboa Conference around AI, around some business owners who have really utilized AI in order to power their small business and experience pretty significant growth or productivity gains, etc., through that.

Amanda LintonGUEST
And, you know, that session that was extremely well facilitated by Angad's sign from Xero and hats off to Angad and that panel because I thought it was a really great discussion, opened up a whole lot of different doors.

Amanda LintonGUEST
And we talked around things like, you know, what are the guardrails, but the human value being in that.

Amanda LintonGUEST
And so the reason that I just draw back to that, Rob, is the fact that all of those conversations that we heard at the small business level were were great for us to take as a perspective into this National AI Skills Forum.

Amanda LintonGUEST
So, what the Skills Forum was actually about is really addressing what are the workforce challenges.

Do you want to just elaborate a little bit about that, Amanda, and some of the takeouts that we've already had as we've commenced that journey? Yeah.
