Hello, everyone. All right Hey,
Daniel Wolfe: (
I hope I said that loud enough in case anybody fell asleep in their food, good food. Right. So I wanted to thank everybody for joining us at payments forum and specifically also for the most influential women in payments morning. I have gotta say that in the years that we've done this back since it was card forum, that this is the part of the event that really always take something away from and this year was no exception for anyone who reads our features, the profiles of these most influential women. These are already compelling stories that all of the honorees have and to see them in person and to see their stories come alive is really something just very special. And that I always look forward to, and I really do hope you've enjoyed it. We heard some great stories this morning about how to navigate a very different career from what you set out to do innovations in the payments industry and what our honoree predict.
Daniel Wolfe: (
And you will see more of them also over the course of the conference. And I do hope for the honorees that you are enjoying yourselves and for those who came here as well to meet them, that you do get a chance to meet them and not just them, but anybody else here. And I hope you enjoy the rest of our event here in sunny Arizona. So before we get started they have already put up the slide.
