So Madeline, the first question, what does Summit look like behind the scenes? What's the chaos?
Before I got into healthcare, I did event planning and other things for nonprofits.
So it's a really fun, for me at least, it's a really fun marriage of those two things.
It does look like a lot of chaos, especially for those of us on the event side, you know, the things that go wrong that you don't plan for and, you know, trying to find band-aids and, you know, random things.
But I always liken it to a quilt that, you know, the people looking at the quilt see this beautiful tapestry put together and then behind the scenes, it's not that it's ugly, but you're seeing all the patchwork.
