Kelsey DahlGuestYeah, it's not Disney World, but I like the idea of barbecue at Kansas City, Missouri.
So how would we sell someone who is on the fence for going and how can we help those listeners who need to maybe, maybe they're convinced, but they need to convince their boss, right? Or their boss's boss, right? How do we help convince folks and how can we strategically help it so they decide to invest in coming? Because at the end of the day, this is an investment.
We actually have a convince your boss letter that we have out on our registration site.
You can go out there, copy that and, and tailor to, um, tailor to your specific situation.
Uh, but then I would say beyond that, um, what I would really emphasize are some of the benefits of attending, um, and, and why it's so important is that community, um, It really is the sessions and the content that you're getting and maybe even some of those little extras.
Just, I can't tell you how many times I've heard, and this is like, what, my 11th-ish JNUC? I know you've been maybe at least one or two more.
I think we call it the hallway track, which is like... unofficial session where you're just talking to people you all leave a session together around like let's say mac security and then you like pick someone's brain like hypothetically if you had this issue how would you solve it and someone will be like oh we had this issue two years ago and here's how we fixed it and then they talk and then stay in touch and then other things get fixed and So I love that not only are there sessions that'll help with content, the community, but that hallway track.
It's like, it's one of those things where you can't, it's like unofficial official, but there's so much value to it that I agree with you.
Like if you come with a problem, chances are there's gonna be someone that has an idea of how to fix it and at least steer you in the right direction.
