Quest Oracle Community proudly presents The

JDE Connection, a Quest on-air podcast

production. This podcast explores and showcases how JDE

customers are harnessing specific functionality and capabilities to

drive business success. This

episode is brought to you by RST Solutions,

accelerating digital transformation with AI-driven

business efficiency. Hello, JDE Connection

listeners. Welcome back. I'm Chandra Wobschall, one

of your podcast hosts, and I'm the Business Solutions Lead

at Coloss IS Support. Back with me this week

is my friend and podcast partner, Paul Hautkooper.

Vice President of JD Edwards Product Development at Oracle.

Hey, Paul, how are you today? Boy. That's a

loaded question, isn't it? Yeah. You know, we don't do video, thank God

for that, because they'd have to see what I'm

wearing. As my friends have asked, did I lose a bet?

No, I didn't. But I have on something

my father would be very proud of me for, but God, it's god-awful

purple. Anyway, I feel sorry for those folks up in

Minnesota because they either got the Minnesota Gophers, which is

some version of crimson and yellow that we won't go into

what that is. And then that crimson looks like a stain of some sort,

or you've got the Vikings and that's purple,

right? So I don't know. You just don't have any good options up there. But

anyway, how's it going? Well, we're heading to the Bronco game

tonight, Vikings-Broncos, and I've got a Vikings

shirt on. So how good could it possibly be going? It must be going

very good. That's what I'm saying. Uh, yes.

Yes, it is. Yes. Wow. You have your colors there. Uh,

doing some shots. All right. Well, well, you know, this is just

my way of venting. I mean, I've been called a traitor already today.

Oh, you had your feelings hurt. Sit there. I have no

No pride. So there you go. Yeah. Well, you

know what? Last week I had to don packer gear. So,

well, that's true. It's time for, for it to be fair. You know,

it's one thing to upgrade and go to packer gear. It's another thing to have

to— I don't think that's an upgrade. Wow.

All right. So how are you? Switching gears

real quick. Switching gears real quick. Yeah. Nice.

How did the marathon go? Or wait, maybe that's not the right topic either.

Boy, you know me well. Well, let's just say it was a

doozy of a marathon. A doozy, eh? Oh, wow.

All right. Slipping the Midwesternisms in early, are we?

Yes. I think we're going to switch it up since, well, I'm going to use

the term. We might as well explain the term. That's fair. Okay. So

we can't end an episode without one, but maybe we can start one with one.

I don't know. Go ahead. We're going to switch things up. So the

Midwesternism, the term doozy, was actually first

recorded in eastern Ohio in

1916. While it's evolved kind of a

general piece of American slang, it still

remains a staple of Midwestern vernacular.

My favorite word. Vernacular. Anyway, it refers to something

extraordinary, unusual, or outstanding.

In my case, it's not going to be outstanding, but it can be used

positively. So maybe it was a doozy of a sunset,

or negatively, as I have said, that was a doozy

of a snowstorm. So yes, yes, yes,

yes. So the marathon was a bit of a doozy.

So got there on time, relatively early.

They had sent off the buses. the buses didn't make it back to

pick up us runners. Well, 2 busloads of us,

actually. Wow. So by the time the buses finally made it

back, we're like, we're not going to make this start, knowing that I had

driven the course the day before. So I knew how long it was going to

take to get from the start area, well, to the parking area to the

start line. I was like, math says this isn't going to work.

My math says. So anyway, We finally get up to

the start line. As we're driving up there, I should say first, we're passing

runners. So clearly they've started said race and we're not at the

start line yet. It's fabulous. So we get up there, get off the bus, and

they're like, okay, you can start. And we're like, we kind of need an official

starting. Hey, guess what? No timing mat, no start

area. Don't even know where to start. The lady's like, oh, you just start here

at this post. We're like, we still need start time. Just

some random post on the side of the road in the backwoods

of Montana. Yeah. There wasn't much up there. So it's not like you

had a lot of posts to choose from. There was one. Wow. Yeah.

So anyway, one of the other runners was like, listen, some

people are here to like officially race this for Boston

qualifier, for a PR, whatever. They need an official

start time. So why don't you take all of our bib numbers and start

us at 7:10? That was the first supposed to be

start time. Yeah. But then it took a while to get everybody's bib numbers. So

they decided 7:15. The lady starts the countdown and then

realizes she doesn't have seconds on her phone that she was using.

So, yeah. Well, we got off at 7:15,

supposedly. Every phone has seconds, but we probably don't know how

to put it into a format that it has seconds. And of course, we

don't have watches anymore that has seconds.

Mine does. Well, that's, yeah, we're a different generation.

That's true. Good point. We're different. So yeah,

started the race 45 minutes after it was supposed to have

started. So of course your nutrition's off, you're stressed,

you're bothered, you're angry. Some people were quite

angry. And then you're going to be exposed to elements that you

maybe hadn't anticipated being exposed to, i.e., warmer temps.

You know, 45 minutes, I could have been done 45 minutes earlier, would have been

a little bit cooler. But you know what? My A goal went

out the door at like mile 13 because, oh, and by the way,

even though the website said it was 70% pavement,

my math says it was closer to 60%

pavement. Wow. And gravel in the mountains is not

country road Midwest gravel. This was very much

rocky, very uneven washboard type. So trying to

find a good path on the roads was A little bit of a

challenge. So picking your line was, yeah, a little bit difficult. Yeah,

my feet were tired. My feet were like, what is this?

What are we doing? You know, I guess had I known that, I would have

trained more on the gravel around here in Colorado, and I

probably would have worn a hybrid or a trail shoe for this

race. That's fair. Yeah, just because it really does beat your body up a little

bit differently. You're using a lot of different muscles in your feet and ankles to

stabilize that maybe you wouldn't necessarily do on a road.

So, right, right, for sure. So eagle went out the door

maybe at like mile 10, 11. Eagle went

out the door probably about mile 15. It just

became seagull finish, not don't wreck yourself. Yeah,

finish and don't wreck yourself. So that's what I did. I focused

on the beauty of the area around me. The

views were actually quite beautiful. My goal was just to

get across that finish line. So, which you, I assume,

succeeded at. I did. So check off another state.

We're done with that one. Moving on. Moving on. All right.

Not soon enough. Wow. What an experience. I mean, the delay

causes mental issues. The course causes a

physical issue. The heat as well. The lack of a

timing mat. I mean, that's just All of that, I mean, everything just kind of

sets you up for, let's just say, not for success. You got to deal with

the adversity, which of course you were planning on dealing with because, hey, guess what?

Running a marathon, you always deal with some level of adversity and you always have

to problem solve in some way, shape, or form. But— Yes.

This just threw more variables at you in different ways than you would've

expected, but you still managed to get through it, which hats off.

Congratulations. Checked off another state. Yep. We don't have time

to go in it right now, but I'm sure there are plenty of lessons you

still— everything's a learning experience, right? Every one of these is a learning

experience in some way, shape, or form. And I'm sure you pulled out some nuggets

from this one. Sure did. Absolutely.

That's what life is, full of learning. So, yep, learned some things and

I can carry that forward. So I wasn't upset. I mean, I

was a little upset and disappointed. Yes. But I wasn't

angry, angry. Things are often out of your control

and you need to learn what you can control and what you can

control is how you react. So try to stay positive. For me,

that included focusing on the beautiful surroundings and

just, you know, enjoying the time outside. So.

All right. Like you said, it's always an opportunity to learn. And so is today.

Yes, we are here to learn. And we'll get into our

detailed rapid fire, if you will, of all the

sessions that we thought kind of caught our eye in just one

moment. Yeah, but then you highlighted like every

session in the agenda. So

it is truly going to be rapid fire to get through all 200 sessions.

It's, it's going to take us a while. So, um, yeah, I guess

everybody should grab their popcorn and their favorite beverage and just sit back and

relax and we'll fire at you. Yep. Here we go. Starting Sunday,

join us for early registration happy hour from 5 to 7

PM. Yeah, there you go. After that, partner events. So

if you haven't signed up for those, find your favorite vendor online. Maybe you've

already gotten emails from them, or maybe you've seen a lot of them

have posted links to their events on LinkedIn. So hop out there and come

network. Yeah, be sure to do that because we're not going to go through all

the ones that we know about because maybe we know about ones that Others don't,

and they feel guilty. Anyway, we're not gonna go there. Exactly. Moving on. We don't

wanna hurt anyone's feelings. Yeah. So then it

starts early on Monday, but before we get into that,

what's the agenda look like Monday? Just high level. High level, we got

coffee from 8 o'clock to 8:45. We have

some sort of welcome and product update or keynote. I don't know, some

guy's doing that weird— Boring. Boring. Skip it. Yeah, exactly.

Drink a lot of coffee prior. Then we have from 10:15

15, we have kickoff networking sessions. From 11:30 to

30, we have a networking lunch. And then we have

educational breakout sessions starting from 12:45 all the

way through 4:15. At 4:30 to 5:30, we

have a power hour. And then we have a welcome

reception in the exhibitor showcase from 5:30 to

7:30 PM. That's high level what Monday looks like. So we'll,

let's break down what those education sessions. So other than the

8:45 product update from yours truly, which you guys are

going to skip, or at least make sure you have enough coffee to get through,

you know, that's the keynote. That's, you know, we'll have a fun factor. We'll have

some high-level product updates, try to tee up some of the roadmaps that are happening

later, pull up some customers, all that fun stuff. So please do show up

for that. And then I'm not sure what the fun factor is going to be

yet this year, but we'll figure it out. But then the education sessions, like you

said, they start in the afternoon, right? 12:45. They do. 12:45.

A couple of the ones that I wanted to highlight: Automating Employee Lifecycle

Management in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. Definitely something I feel

like every organization struggles with. So I

think this will be a good session topic at 12:45 on Monday

with Sunil Swain. And then at 12:45

as well, It's not you, it's the network. How we stopped

blaming the scanners and built a scanner wireless foundation for our

warehouse running JDE with Varun

Vijayakumar of Aktor. This is something I know

I've struggled with at organizations I've worked for in the past

where their manufacturing plants are in smaller communities or out

kind of in the middle of nowhere. Sometimes you have problems with

your scanners and the Wi-Fi just not being as fast or

as reliable. So this one will be interesting to hear how they

And Varun, just so you know, you came in a close second on the most

creative name, but you definitely got the longest. Okay.

So then also at 12:45, there are workshops

this week. So hopefully when you signed up, you saw some of those workshops that

you could sign up for. We've got vendors like Denovo and others putting

these on. I'll mention each one as we go, but the first one is with

Paul Scheer from Denovo, now part of Argonaut, and he's putting

on a workshop for AI in Action. So he's going to show you how to

transform your financials management. with Intelligent Enterprise

Solutions. So I know AI, we didn't make it very far,

only 10, 15 minutes into our episode and we're already talking about AI. But

anyway, check that out, get some hands-on experience using AI. And then

at the same time, we have JDE 101 with Oracle.

So what all new users of JD Edwards should

know. So I wanted to call this one out just because my team likes to

welcome all the folks that come to these conferences for the first time and maybe

new to JD Edwards. They may not know the history. They may not know just

that much about JD Edwards in general. And so this is a great session to

get kind of the history of JDE and get yourself up to speed.

So swing by, check it out. Absolutely. At 2:00 PM,

we have a session called 5 Problems, 1 Pattern: Saving

1,500 Hours a Month with JDE

Orchestrations by Jason Foster with Central

National Gottsman, Inc. This focuses, it looks like, around

the order to cash, OTC, and procure to pay transactions, which I'm

sure many customers have a lot of. And then

at 2 PM, we also have our favorite word, AI-enabled

sales order automation in JD Edwards, from proof of concept to

enterprise scale. Vishal Vishkorma with Worthington

Enterprises. So, we're always looking for those

AI-enabled ideas. So, here's one to come listen to.

And then at that 2 o'clock hour, competing with all the other customer

sessions, comes in Oracle. Talking about visualizing and improving

business processes using our process modeler, our Enterprise Process Modeler.

So for those of you curious about how that can help you

understand some of the roadblocks and blind spots in your

business process, swing by and Haiyan will give you the latest and

greatest on that. And then of course, Clayton at the same time will

provide the updates from product engineering for system

administration. So that's basically the roadmap for system admin.

Then at 3:15, we have our first SIG meetup to call out,

and that is the E1 Tech SIG. Then also at 3:15,

we have the Business Analyst 101 with Linda Sloan

Compton of Pinal County Government. So if you're new to JD

Edwards, this is a great one to hit. Even if you're maybe not

brand new, it's a good one to go to. You always learn from others in

the room, I feel like. Well, we usually try to swing by, I believe,

that one or the Business Analyst SIG, one of the two. So. And then we

have Mark Coedje. He's from Oracle Pre-Sales Europe, and

he's flying all the way over to put on a couple sessions. This particular

one is AI in Action: Real-World Innovation for JD

Edwards Customers. So Mark has the pleasure of going in front of

customers all the time and getting to demo the software, right? So he's

constantly looking at real-world application and what he can show customers

from a practical standpoint they can do with JDE. So if you're interested in

Some of those practical use cases for AI with JDE, swing

by Mark's session. All right. Moving on to Tuesday.

Guess what? You have exhibitor showcase being open from

7:30 to 2:00 that day. Continental

breakfast from 7:30 to 8:00 AM in the exhibitor showcase.

And then we have our education breakouts from 8:00 to 9:00. And

then we have some deep dive breakouts from 9:15 to

45. Followed by a little recharge with a morning

coffee break in the exhibitor showcase from 10:45 to

45, followed immediately by

networking luncheon from 11:45 to 12:45.

More education breakouts from 1:00 to 2:00 PM. We have some

spotlight sessions from 2:00 PM to 3:15.

Afternoon coffee, if you need a little pick-me-up, Mm-hmm. from 3:15 to

3:30, and more educational sessions from

3:30 to 5:45 PM. And

an InFocus party from 5:45 to

7:15 PM. Sweet. InFocus

party. Did they give us a theme this year? Do I have to bring all

my Packer gear again? Come on, come on, come on. Please, please. I think that

was already one and done. I think people seeing you in your

Packer getup was one and done. We're good. Moving on.

Epic failure. I know. Wah wah.

But 8 o'clock session, From Ambiguous to

How Dealer Tire Uses Claude AI

to Transform JDE Development. So who doesn't want

to try and maybe create some efficiencies with

AI? You can do it on the development side as well.

Develop in a new way. Joe Davis from Dealer Tire. That'll be an interesting session.

And then of course, starting off with the BASIG. Oof. AM.

Dang. I know. So if you didn't catch Linda the day before

with the Business Analyst 101 session, by all means swing by the BA SIG. We'll

probably be there. Yeah. And also at that same time, the

HCM or Human Capital Management SIG meeting with

Carla Pappas from Hinkles and McCoy. And then we

have our next workshop. So again, I think we have

3 this week. Correct. And this one will be

put on by Mahesh over at Syntax. He's going to take you

through, well, the title is Stop Guessing, Start Measuring: A Hands-on

introduction to Process Modeler and widgets. So if you saw Haiyan the day

before and you didn't sign up for that workshop, well, you

should sign up right after that because you're going to be motivated. But otherwise,

again, this is going to be a hands-on session for how you can actually use

Process Modeler and widgets to help you monitor and

improve your business processes. Awesome. And then right after

that, or no, around the same time. So now we're just competing. We've got some

competing Oracle sessions. So we've got the Digital Platform Product

Updates from Engineering, which of course is kind of our roadmap for Digital

Platform. And then you got E1 Administration

as an Agent. So beyond just automation, but leveraging

the MCP with AIS Server and JD Edwards Orchestrator

to automate some of your system admin SaaS. My team will be

putting those 2 on. And at 9:15 AM,

we have Transforming Purchase Order Approvals at Scale:

Brightview's Journey to a mobile-first digital approval

process. So this is Kavitha Kumasari with Brightview

that's presenting on that one. I'm sure many companies are using purchase

orders and want to be able to approve them in the field on the fly.

So this will be a good one. Oh, very cool. Thanks to

Kavitha for coming and showing that. And then we also at the same

time, 9:15, we've been foreshadowing Redwood and the

changes to our UI now for several months. So we've got a session

dedicated to what the Redwood experience is going to like, so check us

out at 9:15. Also at 9:15, we've also

been foreshadowing the end of 32-bit. We

switched over from 32-bit to 64-bit with tools over 5 years

ago, actually started 8 years ago, and now we're

ending 32-bit on application ESUs. Come to that session

and find out more if that is of interest or a concern for

you. Yes, and I believe we just talked about that in a

very recent podcast episode, so people can listen to that before they go.

Yep. And then at 1 PM, we have the E1

MDAC SIG meetup. That is the E1

Manufacturing Distribution and CAM User Group meeting. Always a

good one to attend. And at 3:30

PM, we have Enhancing JD Edwards User Experience

with Smart E1 Pages Using Oracle JET Orchestrations and

REST APIs. John Giesen from, uh,

Wepa Hygiene Product GmbH. So must be

making a hop from somewhere. Yes, this would be Italy.

Another paper products company for JDF, which we're very popular with

paper companies, and especially in Italy. Matter of fact, I think Massimiliano

will be on our docket here as well. We'll get to him when his

session comes up. 3:30. Yeah. JDE Construction SIG.

Pete Cotton will help lead that SIG discussion. And then also

30 on Tuesday, I think we have our third And final

workshop, which is Curious About JDE and AI?

Take It for a Test Drive. Arvind from Astute Business Solutions will

take you on a hands-on journey to test drive how you

use AI with JDE. That should be a good one as well. So, hopefully folks

have signed up for the workshops and get a lot of benefit

from seeing how you use these tools. Absolutely. At

4:45, we have the Oracle Guided Learning, or

OGL, for JD Edwards SIG Group with Alicia McDermott.

So excited she's making the trek all the way here from New Zealand.

New Zealand, yes. Awesome. Again. That's amazing. I know.

This is great. Twice in a year. Very cool.

And then also at 4:45 on Tuesday, the

Modern JDE Toolbox, Choosing the Right UDO for

the Job. Pete Cotton with Erwatt

Rexis Services. I thought this was a good one to highlight just

because There are so many UDOs out there and so many companies really

haven't adopted a lot of them. So I think this will be good to give

people some ideas to help make your system

a little bit better. Also at 4:45, we

have Taming the Multi-Branch Cost Rollout,

Automating Standard Cost Updates Across Business Units.

Uh, what did you— I'm sorry, I fell asleep there for a second. I'm

sorry. You love standard cost. I know it. You were a

manufacturing developer at one point, so. Yeah, probably know a

little bit too much about that process. So. Yes. This is— This one

caught your eye, huh? Yeah. John Howe with Dober Group.

And then also at 4:45, we have Heather

Phillips of Little Rapids Corporation. 30 years

on IBM i. Why move to OCI now?

That's a big move, moving from the AS/400 after

30 years to OCI. So come find out all about

that transformation almost. That's awesome. I'll be curious to

hear her story because obviously that's something we encourage.

So appreciate her coming to InFocus to share her

experience. Also at 4:45. Wow, we've picked a lot at the

4:45 session, or on it. It's going to be a popular, you know, it's a

popular time. Well, there's also the AI SIG

meetup. So this is a newly launched SIG within Quest.

So obviously AI's hot, and this is going to be

your place to connect and share and explore the future of AI and

JD Edwards. I think that takes us to Wednesday,

does it not? I think you're right. Wednesday, September 30th—

23rd. 33rd. Wow, I'm putting an extra couple days

there into September. Exhibitor Showcase is open from

7:30 to 11:15. We have a continental breakfast

again in the Exhibitor Showcase from 7:30 to 8 o'clock.

We have education breakouts from 8 o'clock to 9 o'clock

and from 9:15 to 10:15. Then we have an

Exhibitor Showcase morning break from 10:15 to

15, followed by more education breakout sessions

15 to 12:15, and a networking

lunch from 12:15 to 1:15. Followed by

more education breakout sessions from 1:30

30. Wow. It's going to be busy.

Education rich. And we're going to kick off Wednesday morning,

8:00 AM with a couple SIGs. First with the E1 Tech SIG

Innovation Roundtable. So talking about orchestrations, automation,

and extensibility, as well as a

financial SIG. Talk about needing coffee, but

that's getting led by Chandra. Uh, yours truly.

Yes. This is awesome. I'm sure you'll bring the energy,

uh, first thing in the morning. And so come talk

financials, 8:00 AM on Wednesday. Absolutely.

But you're going to compete with Shruti because Shruti's got a

sustainability framework session also at 8 o'clock. So if

your company is interested, or almost every company

right now has some sort of sustainability goals, regulation.

And you can come to this session and find out how JD Edwards solves

those problems. And then we move to 9:15, the 9:15

block, and this is where Massimo Iliano, I mentioned him before from

Lucart Group over in Italy, he's going to talk about

AI-generated dashboard for JD Edwards and how they're using AI

over there at Lucart to improve visibility

to what's happening and how to optimize their operations. So looking

forward to hearing about that. And at 9:15, we have the

UDO SIG meetup with Shannon Allred from Brown and Root.

Also at 9:15, we have, I think

this is our winning name, isn't it? It is. It is our winning name, yes.

Okay. You're still building packages manually? Oh,

honey. This is a joint BACNC session being

put on by Matthias Freitag From H&R Group.

And yeah, we should also have a competition for who could

say that title and how many different ways you could actually say it. But

anyway, very cool. Thank you, Matthias. Looking forward to that

session. Now we're skipping to the 11:15 block.

110 locations, 11 languages, one standard? Really?

Mastering JD Edwards 9.2 Continuous Adoption.

Remco. Hi, Kurt. From Darling Ingredients, is going to talk

about how they have come up with a method of

basically continuous adoption as well as continuous

rollout. So, their company is heavy into acquisitions and

they constantly have to onboard new companies,

and they've figured out how to not only stay current,

but continuously onboard new companies. So, very good session. Yeah.

Over 110 global locations with 11

different languages. Yeah. Wow. That's complicated.

All right. Then I think we have— Oh

yeah. Also at 11:15. Yes. By popular demand, we are talking

about an MCP server for Server Manager. So

come listen to Clayton tell you all about what we're doing in that space.

And then I wanted to highlight. At 1:30, Joe Hebner has been

around quite a long time. He's over at Tretigar Corporation, but

I loved his title because we've already mentioned AI however

many times. Heck, I just mentioned the MCP server, which is an

AI-related requirement. And here's Joe coming in

with, you don't need AI to deliver value

to the enterprise. So kind of being a contrarian here and reminding

everybody that automation was possible even before

AI. And there's a lot of ways in which you can deliver value and

improve And modernize your experience. And you

don't need an LLM in the picture to do it. So

thank you, Joe, for being a contrarian. Had to call out your session.

Love it. At 1:30 PM, we have a TechSIG

Operations Roundtable, Infrastructure, CNC,

Administration, and Security. Always a fun one.

Next up we have, oh, look at that, 1:30

PM. The JDE Connection podcast,

live from InFocus. With Chandra Wapshaw.

Awesome. I guess you're doing this one solo. Fantastic. No, I'm not. I

think they did— they did not put you on there, but I am going to

have to send them a note to say I'm not flying solo on this one.

Hey, we know who the real draw is here. I don't know, but there might

be something fun that also may occur in

said podcast. Maybe, possibly.

So I think you just want to plan on being there. That's all I

can say, right? Yeah, that's, I think all you can say is you

should probably plan on being there. We might actually focus on

something that the community really cares about.

Wow. Wow. So grab your

hot dish, pull up a chair, and I guess

join us as we sort through whatever that is. Okay. Moving on.

Moving on. We also have a couple sessions yet that they

haven't finalized time on. One is the Real Estate User Group meeting.

That's an important one. And then— Orchestrator product

updates from engineering. So obviously this is one of the most

popular sessions that we have. Everybody comes and wants to understand what's going on with

Orchestrator and what's next. We just haven't figured out when to slot that.

There's just too much demand on some of our presenters and

it's hard sometimes to figure that out. So some of this is still fluid. So

by all means, check your app out when get to in Focus and

see when those sessions are. And then finally, we gave a plug for this,

right? We had an episode earlier talking about this

and you graduated. Alumni. You're an alumni. Yes. As

my program leader. Past participant. Yeah. Past participant and alumni

and whatnot. So why don't you talk about this one? Yeah. John Vaughn will do

an informational session on the Quest Emerging Leaders

Program. So he'll be talking about the program that

probably would kick off in 2027 as the one that kicks

off at, well, it is actually kicking off kind of as we speak for

2026. So if you're looking to maybe

help hone some skills within your organizational leadership

drawer, this is a great program. And obviously

come learn more about the program from John. It's a

9-month intensive, but somewhat flexible because it's not all in

person. And it'll just help you with mastering some

core leadership competencies. So. Yeah. I mean,

if you're interested in this and this is the first time you're hearing about it,

I'd strongly encourage you to go back and listen to our episode

with Ken Pennington on this. They do such a great job with this

program. They really do. Yeah. It's an amazing program and

one I would definitely advocate for my staff as well as maybe

myself. So anyway. And that episode is

actually episode 110. We covered the ELP with Ken Pittington in

episode 110. All right. I mean, that pretty much covers

everything that we at least had tagged. If we didn't highlight your session, well,

come up to us at InFocus and log your complaint. Complaint.

Your official complaint. We apologize. And then we'll instruct you on how to

use ChatGPT to come up with a better title next time. I'm just kidding.

Totally joking. Or generate a better abstract. I'm

just Just kidding. No, but it is kind of funny to see all the em

dashes that are suddenly showing up, but we'll move on. I know those are

your favorite. Yeah, I appreciate it. But yeah, truly, if we didn't highlight your

session, we apologize. We try to just do a subset. We can't

obviously take the time to go through every single session that's out there.

Many are very, very interesting, we know. And apologies if we didn't

highlight you this time. And as Paul said earlier, make sure

to check your InFocus app. As sessions can

change. Oh yeah, whatever time and date we have listed here

could change. So definitely make sure you are checking your app

for the most accurate schedule. Yep. All right,

until next time, let's keep learning, sharing, and most

importantly, laughing together. Toodles!

See ya! Thank you for tuning in for today's episode
