I’ll break character and exhibit some pride, but I am really grateful to have served this great industry by founding the NamesCon with Richard Lau. He has been an outstanding collaborator and open to change as a leader. I am looking forward to witnessing over 1400 people join us for a great event, because it demonstrates the benefits of collaboration and having the show be more about serving the industry than about him or I as industry leaders.
