VARTECH 2026 Recap

All right, Dean, let's get into it.

So Vartek 2026, September 21st and 22nd at the Mohegan Sun.

We were a little later this year.

We were a little bit.

Usually we do it about a week earlier, a little bit later in the month, which I'm going to be honest, for my part was probably for the best.

You liked it? Well, just if nothing else, because it gave me an extra week to get stuff done.

I know we needed that extra week, didn't we? I feel

like we were very much running up until the gun with Vartek this year.

Totally.

Well, usually VAR tech comes after Labor Day.

Is that Labor Day? Anyway, and so it's like, you know, I always feel like, oh, my gosh, it's always like the next week after that.

And so it's like, I didn't get to enjoy that long holiday.

And so it was nice having the little extra week there.

There's been a call for having VAR techs in October.

I don't know.

Does that feel a little late?

for you? Well, I mean, we tend to do a lot of them in, you know, we typically

have

a

lot of them down in like the southeast in Florida,

tropical areas.

So, I mean, I'm sure people would appreciate, you know, that at that point of the year.

It also might be a little bit cooler in those locations.

Sometimes it's a little, still a little hot in September in those places.

True, true,
