Hi, my name is Patrick Limley. I am with Choice Hotels International. I had the opportunity to attend connect 2024 last week and it was my first connect. So I had I again, I would say I had the opportunity to reconnect with current customers as well as new ones. I definitely got my steps in from the opening night at the Harley Davidson Museto the closing night with Little John. I would say the time was the time I spent there was truly well spent. I gained valuable insight about myself, the event and our customers in just a short period of time. So I really would say that is was one of the biggest benefits. We had an, we exhibited at booth 1144. in addition to our appointments, our booth was very busy. And I wanna give a special shout out to the whole connect staff but a special shout out to Daniel from Informa Connect. He was fantastic with checking in with us multiple times with updates and questions. The overall experience was top tier and I'm looking forward to connect Miami. Thanks for a great opportunity to attend this event.

the conference was very interesting. Lots of people to talk to, lots of vendors, to seeing a great way to connect with other sports organizers as well. And, yeah, happy with the overall experience.
