I'm really curious to know what your experience was like going to your first event.

Yeah, I mean, this is my first event with you, April, and it was really cool to be in a really... um refined like close-knit community the way it was even though we had some really big vendors there having the ability to network with them and be direct and like be intentional about the conversations was just it was really what sets it apart from some of the bigger events like you mentioned deck expo and and some of those events where there's just so many people there that it's really hard to get that quality time with a lot of the builders a lot of the suppliers and I even mentioned this to April at the end of the show before we left.

I was like, you know, it was really nice kind of having those intimate moments.

Even the networking event was great.

I mean, I think we ended up triple capacity of what it was supposed to be.

But it was still, you know, a tight enough group where we were able to kind of mingle with everybody and really get to know everybody pretty well.

So for me, that's really what set Futurescape apart this year from everything else, along with the nice mix of landscaping, outdoor living, And really having a diverse group as opposed to just being deck builders and deck timber tech and treks and all the usual suspects.

But for you guys, what did you think the best parts of the show were for you?
