Hello, JDE Connection 9 00:00:37,263 --> 00:00:40,998 listeners. Welcome back. I'm Chandra Wobschall, one 10 00:00:41,046 --> 00:00:44,685 of your podcast hosts, and I'm the Business Solutions Lead 11 00:00:44,781 --> 00:00:48,308 at Coloss IS Support. Back with me this week 12 00:00:48,629 --> 00:00:52,091 is my friend and podcast partner, Paul Hautkooper. 13 00:00:52,380 --> 00:00:56,118 Vice President of JD Edwards Product Development at Oracle. 14 00:00:56,663 --> 00:01:00,337 Hey, Paul, how are you today? Boy. That's a 15 00:01:00,337 --> 00:01:04,011 loaded question, isn't it? Yeah. You know, we don't do video, thank God 16 00:01:04,204 --> 00:01:07,525 for that, because they'd have to see what I'm 17 00:01:07,878 --> 00:01:11,440 wearing. As my friends have asked, did I lose a bet? 18 00:01:11,744 --> 00:01:15,402 No, I didn't. But I have on something 19 00:01:15,451 --> 00:01:19,190 my father would be very proud of me for, but God, it's god-awful 20 00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:22,385 purple. Anyway, I feel sorry for those folks up in 21 00:01:22,658 --> 00:01:25,917 Minnesota because they either got the Minnesota Gophers, which is 22 00:01:26,527 --> 00:01:30,316 some version of crimson and yellow that we won't go into 23 00:01:30,364 --> 00:01:34,186 what that is. And then that crimson looks like a stain of some sort, 24 00:01:34,282 --> 00:01:37,622 or you've got the Vikings and that's purple, 25 00:01:37,911 --> 00:01:41,427 right? So I don't know. You just don't have any good options up there. But 26 00:01:41,427 --> 00:01:45,120 anyway, how's it going? Well, we're heading to the Bronco game 27 00:01:45,296 --> 00:01:48,957 tonight, Vikings-Broncos, and I've got a Vikings 28 00:01:48,989 --> 00:01:52,650 shirt on. So how good could it possibly be going? It must be going 29 00:01:53,003 --> 00:01:56,327 very good. That's what I'm saying. Uh, yes. 30 00:01:56,761 --> 00:02:00,486 Yes, it is. Yes. Wow. You have your colors there. Uh, 31 00:02:00,566 --> 00:02:04,404 doing some shots. All right. Well, well, you know, this is just 32 00:02:04,404 --> 00:02:07,551 my way of venting. I mean, I've been called a traitor already today. 33 00:02:08,434 --> 00:02:11,838 Oh, you had your feelings hurt. Sit there. I have no 34 00:02:12,352 --> 00:02:16,056 No pride. So there you go. Yeah. Well, you 35 00:02:16,056 --> 00:02:19,712 know what? Last week I had to don packer gear. So, 36 00:02:20,273 --> 00:02:23,946 well, that's true. It's time for, for it to be fair. You know, 37 00:02:23,962 --> 00:02:27,714 it's one thing to upgrade and go to packer gear. It's another thing to have 38 00:02:27,746 --> 00:02:31,434 to— I don't think that's an upgrade. Wow. 39 00:02:31,755 --> 00:02:35,411 All right. So how are you? Switching gears 40 00:02:35,443 --> 00:02:39,083 real quick. Switching gears real quick. Yeah. Nice. 41 00:02:39,613 --> 00:02:43,397 How did the marathon go? Or wait, maybe that's not the right topic either. 42 00:02:44,504 --> 00:02:48,144 Boy, you know me well. Well, let's just say it was a 43 00:02:48,512 --> 00:02:52,297 doozy of a marathon. A doozy, eh? Oh, wow. 44 00:02:52,986 --> 00:02:56,771 All right. Slipping the Midwesternisms in early, are we? 45 00:02:56,851 --> 00:03:00,523 Yes. I think we're going to switch it up since, well, I'm going to use 46 00:03:00,539 --> 00:03:04,163 the term. We might as well explain the term. That's fair. Okay. So 47 00:03:04,307 --> 00:03:08,124 we can't end an episode without one, but maybe we can start one with one. 48 00:03:08,412 --> 00:03:11,523 I don't know. Go ahead. We're going to switch things up. So the 49 00:03:11,523 --> 00:03:14,971 Midwesternism, the term doozy, was actually first 50 00:03:14,971 --> 00:03:17,906 recorded in eastern Ohio in 51 00:03:18,018 --> 00:03:21,707 1916. While it's evolved kind of a 52 00:03:21,707 --> 00:03:24,866 general piece of American slang, it still 53 00:03:24,994 --> 00:03:28,282 remains a staple of Midwestern vernacular. 54 00:03:28,843 --> 00:03:32,579 My favorite word. Vernacular. Anyway, it refers to something 55 00:03:32,996 --> 00:03:36,749 extraordinary, unusual, or outstanding. 56 00:03:37,327 --> 00:03:41,004 In my case, it's not going to be outstanding, but it can be used 57 00:03:41,036 --> 00:03:44,616 positively. So maybe it was a doozy of a sunset, 58 00:03:45,034 --> 00:03:48,791 or negatively, as I have said, that was a doozy 59 00:03:48,807 --> 00:03:52,308 of a snowstorm. So yes, yes, yes, 60 00:03:52,597 --> 00:03:55,695 yes. So the marathon was a bit of a doozy. 61 00:03:56,450 --> 00:03:59,549 So got there on time, relatively early. 62 00:04:00,223 --> 00:04:03,966 They had sent off the buses. the buses didn't make it back to 63 00:04:03,998 --> 00:04:07,484 pick up us runners. Well, 2 busloads of us, 64 00:04:07,677 --> 00:04:11,308 actually. Wow. So by the time the buses finally made it 65 00:04:11,308 --> 00:04:14,891 back, we're like, we're not going to make this start, knowing that I had 66 00:04:14,987 --> 00:04:18,635 driven the course the day before. So I knew how long it was going to 67 00:04:18,699 --> 00:04:22,378 take to get from the start area, well, to the parking area to the 68 00:04:22,378 --> 00:04:25,961 start line. I was like, math says this isn't going to work. 69 00:04:26,395 --> 00:04:30,202 My math says. So anyway, We finally get up to 70 00:04:30,202 --> 00:04:33,927 the start line. As we're driving up there, I should say first, we're passing 71 00:04:34,039 --> 00:04:37,732 runners. So clearly they've started said race and we're not at the 72 00:04:37,732 --> 00:04:41,265 start line yet. It's fabulous. So we get up there, get off the bus, and 73 00:04:41,265 --> 00:04:45,022 they're like, okay, you can start. And we're like, we kind of need an official 74 00:04:45,022 --> 00:04:48,811 starting. Hey, guess what? No timing mat, no start 75 00:04:48,875 --> 00:04:51,878 area. Don't even know where to start. The lady's like, oh, you just start here 76 00:04:51,926 --> 00:04:55,571 at this post. We're like, we still need start time. Just 77 00:04:55,571 --> 00:04:59,135 some random post on the side of the road in the backwoods 78 00:04:59,312 --> 00:05:03,115 of Montana. Yeah. There wasn't much up there. So it's not like you 79 00:05:03,115 --> 00:05:06,531 had a lot of posts to choose from. There was one. Wow. Yeah. 80 00:05:06,708 --> 00:05:10,301 So anyway, one of the other runners was like, listen, some 81 00:05:10,317 --> 00:05:13,991 people are here to like officially race this for Boston 82 00:05:14,071 --> 00:05:17,921 qualifier, for a PR, whatever. They need an official 83 00:05:17,921 --> 00:05:21,707 start time. So why don't you take all of our bib numbers and start 84 00:05:21,707 --> 00:05:25,397 us at 7:10? That was the first supposed to be 85 00:05:25,477 --> 00:05:29,295 start time. Yeah. But then it took a while to get everybody's bib numbers. So 86 00:05:29,471 --> 00:05:33,227 they decided 7:15. The lady starts the countdown and then 87 00:05:33,243 --> 00:05:37,080 realizes she doesn't have seconds on her phone that she was using. 88 00:05:37,915 --> 00:05:41,528 So, yeah. Well, we got off at 7:15, 89 00:05:41,705 --> 00:05:45,462 supposedly. Every phone has seconds, but we probably don't know how 90 00:05:45,623 --> 00:05:49,412 to put it into a format that it has seconds. And of course, we 91 00:05:49,412 --> 00:05:52,655 don't have watches anymore that has seconds. 92 00:05:53,233 --> 00:05:56,429 Mine does. Well, that's, yeah, we're a different generation. 93 00:05:57,086 --> 00:06:00,531 That's true. Good point. We're different. So yeah, 94 00:06:00,723 --> 00:06:04,361 started the race 45 minutes after it was supposed to have 95 00:06:04,409 --> 00:06:07,918 started. So of course your nutrition's off, you're stressed, 96 00:06:08,158 --> 00:06:11,764 you're bothered, you're angry. Some people were quite 97 00:06:11,828 --> 00:06:15,465 angry. And then you're going to be exposed to elements that you 98 00:06:15,513 --> 00:06:19,359 maybe hadn't anticipated being exposed to, i.e., warmer temps. 99 00:06:19,599 --> 00:06:22,756 You know, 45 minutes, I could have been done 45 minutes earlier, would have been 100 00:06:22,756 --> 00:06:26,574 a little bit cooler. But you know what? My A goal went 101 00:06:26,574 --> 00:06:29,592 out the door at like mile 13 because, oh, and by the way, 102 00:06:30,282 --> 00:06:33,749 even though the website said it was 70% pavement, 103 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,115 my math says it was closer to 60% 104 00:06:38,211 --> 00:06:41,999 pavement. Wow. And gravel in the mountains is not 105 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,498 country road Midwest gravel. This was very much 106 00:06:45,675 --> 00:06:49,495 rocky, very uneven washboard type. So trying to 107 00:06:49,543 --> 00:06:52,818 find a good path on the roads was A little bit of a 108 00:06:52,978 --> 00:06:56,604 challenge. So picking your line was, yeah, a little bit difficult. Yeah, 109 00:06:56,989 --> 00:07:00,664 my feet were tired. My feet were like, what is this? 110 00:07:01,001 --> 00:07:03,953 What are we doing? You know, I guess had I known that, I would have 111 00:07:04,050 --> 00:07:07,756 trained more on the gravel around here in Colorado, and I 112 00:07:07,756 --> 00:07:11,431 probably would have worn a hybrid or a trail shoe for this 113 00:07:11,431 --> 00:07:15,041 race. That's fair. Yeah, just because it really does beat your body up a little 114 00:07:15,041 --> 00:07:18,362 bit differently. You're using a lot of different muscles in your feet and ankles to 115 00:07:18,362 --> 00:07:21,890 stabilize that maybe you wouldn't necessarily do on a road. 116 00:07:21,954 --> 00:07:25,432 So, right, right, for sure. So eagle went out the door 117 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,245 maybe at like mile 10, 11. Eagle went 118 00:07:29,310 --> 00:07:33,091 out the door probably about mile 15. It just 119 00:07:33,091 --> 00:07:36,857 became seagull finish, not don't wreck yourself. Yeah, 120 00:07:36,937 --> 00:07:40,687 finish and don't wreck yourself. So that's what I did. I focused 121 00:07:40,767 --> 00:07:44,453 on the beauty of the area around me. The 122 00:07:44,453 --> 00:07:48,235 views were actually quite beautiful. My goal was just to 123 00:07:48,235 --> 00:07:52,048 get across that finish line. So, which you, I assume, 124 00:07:52,657 --> 00:07:56,423 succeeded at. I did. So check off another state. 125 00:07:56,487 --> 00:07:59,740 We're done with that one. Moving on. Moving on. All right. 126 00:08:00,333 --> 00:08:03,938 Not soon enough. Wow. What an experience. I mean, the delay 127 00:08:03,938 --> 00:08:07,720 causes mental issues. The course causes a 128 00:08:07,784 --> 00:08:11,245 physical issue. The heat as well. The lack of a 129 00:08:11,245 --> 00:08:14,454 timing mat. I mean, that's just All of that, I mean, everything just kind of 130 00:08:14,454 --> 00:08:17,893 sets you up for, let's just say, not for success. You got to deal with 131 00:08:17,893 --> 00:08:21,299 the adversity, which of course you were planning on dealing with because, hey, guess what? 132 00:08:21,347 --> 00:08:25,091 Running a marathon, you always deal with some level of adversity and you always have 133 00:08:25,107 --> 00:08:28,707 to problem solve in some way, shape, or form. But— Yes. 134 00:08:28,803 --> 00:08:32,579 This just threw more variables at you in different ways than you would've 135 00:08:32,579 --> 00:08:36,066 expected, but you still managed to get through it, which hats off. 136 00:08:36,131 --> 00:08:39,905 Congratulations. Checked off another state. Yep. We don't have time 137 00:08:39,905 --> 00:08:43,052 to go in it right now, but I'm sure there are plenty of lessons you 138 00:08:43,052 --> 00:08:46,536 still— everything's a learning experience, right? Every one of these is a learning 139 00:08:46,568 --> 00:08:50,406 experience in some way, shape, or form. And I'm sure you pulled out some nuggets 140 00:08:50,406 --> 00:08:53,681 from this one. Sure did. Absolutely. 141 00:08:54,035 --> 00:08:57,808 That's what life is, full of learning. So, yep, learned some things and 142 00:08:57,808 --> 00:09:01,597 I can carry that forward. So I wasn't upset. I mean, I 143 00:09:01,662 --> 00:09:05,099 was a little upset and disappointed. Yes. But I wasn't 144 00:09:05,340 --> 00:09:08,376 angry, angry. Things are often out of your control 145 00:09:08,874 --> 00:09:12,391 and you need to learn what you can control and what you can 146 00:09:12,423 --> 00:09:16,214 control is how you react. So try to stay positive. For me, 147 00:09:16,359 --> 00:09:20,117 that included focusing on the beautiful surroundings and 148 00:09:20,197 --> 00:09:23,924 just, you know, enjoying the time outside. So. 149 00:09:24,052 --> 00:09:27,827 All right. Like you said, it's always an opportunity to learn. And so is today. 150 00:09:28,550 --> 00:09:31,711 Yes, we are here to learn. And we'll get into our 151 00:09:31,856 --> 00:09:35,144 detailed rapid fire, if you will, of all the 152 00:09:35,144 --> 00:09:38,945 sessions that we thought kind of caught our eye in just one 153 00:09:39,057 --> 00:09:42,297 moment. Yeah, but then you highlighted like every 154 00:09:42,297 --> 00:09:45,857 session in the agenda. So 155 00:09:46,371 --> 00:09:50,027 it is truly going to be rapid fire to get through all 200 sessions. 156 00:09:50,525 --> 00:09:54,069 It's, it's going to take us a while. So, um, yeah, I guess 157 00:09:54,069 --> 00:09:57,758 everybody should grab their popcorn and their favorite beverage and just sit back and 158 00:09:57,758 --> 00:10:01,239 relax and we'll fire at you. Yep. Here we go. Starting Sunday, 159 00:10:01,753 --> 00:10:05,347 join us for early registration happy hour from 5 to 7 160 00:10:05,363 --> 00:10:09,038 PM. Yeah, there you go. After that, partner events. So 161 00:10:09,247 --> 00:10:12,825 if you haven't signed up for those, find your favorite vendor online. Maybe you've 162 00:10:12,921 --> 00:10:16,468 already gotten emails from them, or maybe you've seen a lot of them 163 00:10:16,532 --> 00:10:20,159 have posted links to their events on LinkedIn. So hop out there and come 164 00:10:20,447 --> 00:10:23,978 network. Yeah, be sure to do that because we're not going to go through all 165 00:10:23,978 --> 00:10:27,267 the ones that we know about because maybe we know about ones that Others don't, 166 00:10:27,283 --> 00:10:30,011 and they feel guilty. Anyway, we're not gonna go there. Exactly. Moving on. We don't 167 00:10:30,011 --> 00:10:33,396 wanna hurt anyone's feelings. Yeah. So then it 168 00:10:33,396 --> 00:10:37,182 starts early on Monday, but before we get into that, 169 00:10:37,231 --> 00:10:40,840 what's the agenda look like Monday? Just high level. High level, we got 170 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,418 coffee from 8 o'clock to 8:45. We have 171 00:10:44,547 --> 00:10:48,317 some sort of welcome and product update or keynote. I don't know, some 172 00:10:48,381 --> 00:10:52,007 guy's doing that weird— Boring. Boring. Skip it. Yeah, exactly. 173 00:10:52,312 --> 00:10:56,134 Drink a lot of coffee prior. Then we have from 10:15 174 00:10:56,231 --> 00:11:00,021 to 11:15, we have kickoff networking sessions. From 11:30 to 175 00:11:00,021 --> 00:11:03,490 12:30, we have a networking lunch. And then we have 176 00:11:03,618 --> 00:11:07,408 educational breakout sessions starting from 12:45 all the 177 00:11:07,408 --> 00:11:11,166 way through 4:15. At 4:30 to 5:30, we 178 00:11:11,166 --> 00:11:14,330 have a power hour. And then we have a welcome 179 00:11:14,555 --> 00:11:17,927 reception in the exhibitor showcase from 5:30 to 180 00:11:17,927 --> 00:11:21,599 7:30 PM. That's high level what Monday looks like. So we'll, 181 00:11:21,856 --> 00:11:25,060 let's break down what those education sessions. So other than the 182 00:11:25,285 --> 00:11:28,826 8:45 product update from yours truly, which you guys are 183 00:11:28,826 --> 00:11:32,110 going to skip, or at least make sure you have enough coffee to get through, 184 00:11:32,671 --> 00:11:35,203 you know, that's the keynote. That's, you know, we'll have a fun factor. We'll have 185 00:11:35,331 --> 00:11:38,568 some high-level product updates, try to tee up some of the roadmaps that are happening 186 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,429 later, pull up some customers, all that fun stuff. So please do show up 187 00:11:42,429 --> 00:11:44,929 for that. And then I'm not sure what the fun factor is going to be 188 00:11:44,929 --> 00:11:48,551 yet this year, but we'll figure it out. But then the education sessions, like you 189 00:11:48,551 --> 00:11:52,110 said, they start in the afternoon, right? 12:45. They do. 12:45. 190 00:11:52,667 --> 00:11:56,038 A couple of the ones that I wanted to highlight: Automating Employee Lifecycle 191 00:11:56,054 --> 00:11:59,885 Management in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. Definitely something I feel 192 00:11:59,981 --> 00:12:03,749 like every organization struggles with. So I 193 00:12:04,085 --> 00:12:07,692 think this will be a good session topic at 12:45 on Monday 194 00:12:07,773 --> 00:12:11,620 with Sunil Swain. And then at 12:45 195 00:12:11,620 --> 00:12:15,339 as well, It's not you, it's the network. How we stopped 196 00:12:15,451 --> 00:12:18,834 blaming the scanners and built a scanner wireless foundation for our 197 00:12:18,834 --> 00:12:21,751 warehouse running JDE with Varun 198 00:12:22,264 --> 00:12:26,095 Vijayakumar of Aktor. This is something I know 199 00:12:26,512 --> 00:12:29,975 I've struggled with at organizations I've worked for in the past 200 00:12:29,975 --> 00:12:33,758 where their manufacturing plants are in smaller communities or out 201 00:12:33,822 --> 00:12:37,669 kind of in the middle of nowhere. Sometimes you have problems with 202 00:12:37,669 --> 00:12:41,436 your scanners and the Wi-Fi just not being as fast or 203 00:12:41,436 --> 00:12:44,322 as reliable. So this one will be interesting to hear how they 204 00:12:45,428 --> 00:12:48,890 And Varun, just so you know, you came in a close second on the most 205 00:12:48,890 --> 00:12:52,256 creative name, but you definitely got the longest. Okay. 206 00:12:52,753 --> 00:12:56,585 So then also at 12:45, there are workshops 207 00:12:56,729 --> 00:12:59,775 this week. So hopefully when you signed up, you saw some of those workshops that 208 00:12:59,775 --> 00:13:03,526 you could sign up for. We've got vendors like Denovo and others putting 209 00:13:03,558 --> 00:13:07,052 these on. I'll mention each one as we go, but the first one is with 210 00:13:07,084 --> 00:13:10,867 Paul Scheer from Denovo, now part of Argonaut, and he's putting 211 00:13:10,867 --> 00:13:14,619 on a workshop for AI in Action. So he's going to show you how to 212 00:13:14,619 --> 00:13:18,033 transform your financials management. with Intelligent Enterprise 213 00:13:18,145 --> 00:13:21,351 Solutions. So I know AI, we didn't make it very far, 214 00:13:21,912 --> 00:13:25,663 only 10, 15 minutes into our episode and we're already talking about AI. But 215 00:13:25,663 --> 00:13:29,094 anyway, check that out, get some hands-on experience using AI. And then 216 00:13:29,671 --> 00:13:33,117 at the same time, we have JDE 101 with Oracle. 217 00:13:33,390 --> 00:13:36,949 So what all new users of JD Edwards should 218 00:13:37,045 --> 00:13:40,411 know. So I wanted to call this one out just because my team likes to 219 00:13:40,411 --> 00:13:44,034 welcome all the folks that come to these conferences for the first time and maybe 220 00:13:44,034 --> 00:13:47,064 new to JD Edwards. They may not know the history. They may not know just 221 00:13:47,064 --> 00:13:50,752 that much about JD Edwards in general. And so this is a great session to 222 00:13:50,752 --> 00:13:54,185 get kind of the history of JDE and get yourself up to speed. 223 00:13:54,634 --> 00:13:58,339 So swing by, check it out. Absolutely. At 2:00 PM, 224 00:13:58,708 --> 00:14:01,868 we have a session called 5 Problems, 1 Pattern: Saving 225 00:14:01,916 --> 00:14:04,723 1,500 Hours a Month with JDE 226 00:14:04,787 --> 00:14:08,187 Orchestrations by Jason Foster with Central 227 00:14:08,187 --> 00:14:11,909 National Gottsman, Inc. This focuses, it looks like, around 228 00:14:11,941 --> 00:14:15,710 the order to cash, OTC, and procure to pay transactions, which I'm 229 00:14:15,710 --> 00:14:19,115 sure many customers have a lot of. And then 230 00:14:19,468 --> 00:14:23,196 at 2 PM, we also have our favorite word, AI-enabled 231 00:14:23,196 --> 00:14:26,971 sales order automation in JD Edwards, from proof of concept to 232 00:14:27,116 --> 00:14:30,939 enterprise scale. Vishal Vishkorma with Worthington 233 00:14:30,971 --> 00:14:33,831 Enterprises. So, we're always looking for those 234 00:14:34,008 --> 00:14:37,398 AI-enabled ideas. So, here's one to come listen to. 235 00:14:38,185 --> 00:14:41,655 And then at that 2 o'clock hour, competing with all the other customer 236 00:14:41,655 --> 00:14:45,203 sessions, comes in Oracle. Talking about visualizing and improving 237 00:14:45,427 --> 00:14:49,245 business processes using our process modeler, our Enterprise Process Modeler. 238 00:14:49,357 --> 00:14:52,501 So for those of you curious about how that can help you 239 00:14:52,790 --> 00:14:56,351 understand some of the roadblocks and blind spots in your 240 00:14:56,351 --> 00:14:59,848 business process, swing by and Haiyan will give you the latest and 241 00:14:59,848 --> 00:15:03,297 greatest on that. And then of course, Clayton at the same time will 242 00:15:03,313 --> 00:15:06,826 provide the updates from product engineering for system 243 00:15:06,826 --> 00:15:10,403 administration. So that's basically the roadmap for system admin. 244 00:15:11,013 --> 00:15:14,625 Then at 3:15, we have our first SIG meetup to call out, 245 00:15:14,770 --> 00:15:18,446 and that is the E1 Tech SIG. Then also at 3:15, 246 00:15:18,542 --> 00:15:22,299 we have the Business Analyst 101 with Linda Sloan 247 00:15:22,331 --> 00:15:25,814 Compton of Pinal County Government. So if you're new to JD 248 00:15:25,927 --> 00:15:29,635 Edwards, this is a great one to hit. Even if you're maybe not 249 00:15:29,635 --> 00:15:33,327 brand new, it's a good one to go to. You always learn from others in 250 00:15:33,327 --> 00:15:36,907 the room, I feel like. Well, we usually try to swing by, I believe, 251 00:15:37,485 --> 00:15:41,128 that one or the Business Analyst SIG, one of the two. So. And then we 252 00:15:41,128 --> 00:15:44,959 have Mark Coedje. He's from Oracle Pre-Sales Europe, and 253 00:15:44,959 --> 00:15:48,774 he's flying all the way over to put on a couple sessions. This particular 254 00:15:48,806 --> 00:15:52,557 one is AI in Action: Real-World Innovation for JD 255 00:15:52,573 --> 00:15:56,019 Edwards Customers. So Mark has the pleasure of going in front of 256 00:15:56,019 --> 00:15:59,818 customers all the time and getting to demo the software, right? So he's 257 00:16:00,250 --> 00:16:04,081 constantly looking at real-world application and what he can show customers 258 00:16:04,514 --> 00:16:08,313 from a practical standpoint they can do with JDE. So if you're interested in 259 00:16:08,858 --> 00:16:12,658 Some of those practical use cases for AI with JDE, swing 260 00:16:12,690 --> 00:16:15,849 by Mark's session. All right. Moving on to Tuesday. 261 00:16:16,523 --> 00:16:20,034 Guess what? You have exhibitor showcase being open from 262 00:16:20,082 --> 00:16:23,786 7:30 to 2:00 that day. Continental 263 00:16:23,835 --> 00:16:27,314 breakfast from 7:30 to 8:00 AM in the exhibitor showcase. 264 00:16:27,907 --> 00:16:31,676 And then we have our education breakouts from 8:00 to 9:00. And 265 00:16:31,692 --> 00:16:34,979 then we have some deep dive breakouts from 9:15 to 266 00:16:34,979 --> 00:16:38,637 10:45. Followed by a little recharge with a morning 267 00:16:38,733 --> 00:16:42,231 coffee break in the exhibitor showcase from 10:45 to 268 00:16:42,295 --> 00:16:45,119 11:45, followed immediately by 269 00:16:45,569 --> 00:16:48,987 networking luncheon from 11:45 to 12:45. 270 00:16:49,260 --> 00:16:53,030 More education breakouts from 1:00 to 2:00 PM. We have some 271 00:16:53,030 --> 00:16:56,127 spotlight sessions from 2:00 PM to 3:15. 272 00:16:56,785 --> 00:17:00,348 Afternoon coffee, if you need a little pick-me-up, Mm-hmm. from 3:15 to 273 00:17:00,412 --> 00:17:03,894 3:30, and more educational sessions from 274 00:17:04,006 --> 00:17:07,585 3:30 to 5:45 PM. And 275 00:17:08,275 --> 00:17:11,260 an InFocus party from 5:45 to 276 00:17:11,260 --> 00:17:14,935 7:15 PM. Sweet. InFocus 277 00:17:14,935 --> 00:17:17,743 party. Did they give us a theme this year? Do I have to bring all 278 00:17:17,743 --> 00:17:20,985 my Packer gear again? Come on, come on, come on. Please, please. I think that 279 00:17:21,033 --> 00:17:24,355 was already one and done. I think people seeing you in your 280 00:17:24,467 --> 00:17:27,500 Packer getup was one and done. We're good. Moving on. 281 00:17:28,318 --> 00:17:30,998 Epic failure. I know. Wah wah. 282 00:17:31,929 --> 00:17:35,765 But 8 o'clock session, From Ambiguous to 283 00:17:35,958 --> 00:17:39,362 Actionable: How Dealer Tire Uses Claude AI 284 00:17:39,715 --> 00:17:43,424 to Transform JDE Development. So who doesn't want 285 00:17:43,424 --> 00:17:47,021 to try and maybe create some efficiencies with 286 00:17:47,101 --> 00:17:50,441 AI? You can do it on the development side as well. 287 00:17:50,730 --> 00:17:54,552 Develop in a new way. Joe Davis from Dealer Tire. That'll be an interesting session. 288 00:17:54,664 --> 00:17:58,357 And then of course, starting off with the BASIG. Oof. AM. 289 00:17:58,710 --> 00:18:02,463 Dang. I know. So if you didn't catch Linda the day before 290 00:18:02,591 --> 00:18:06,278 with the Business Analyst 101 session, by all means swing by the BA SIG. We'll 291 00:18:06,294 --> 00:18:09,596 probably be there. Yeah. And also at that same time, the 292 00:18:09,901 --> 00:18:13,636 HCM or Human Capital Management SIG meeting with 293 00:18:13,668 --> 00:18:17,114 Carla Pappas from Hinkles and McCoy. And then we 294 00:18:17,179 --> 00:18:20,529 have our next workshop. So again, I think we have 295 00:18:20,785 --> 00:18:24,488 3 this week. Correct. And this one will be 296 00:18:24,488 --> 00:18:28,015 put on by Mahesh over at Syntax. He's going to take you 297 00:18:28,015 --> 00:18:31,750 through, well, the title is Stop Guessing, Start Measuring: A Hands-on 298 00:18:31,799 --> 00:18:35,556 introduction to Process Modeler and widgets. So if you saw Haiyan the day 299 00:18:35,556 --> 00:18:39,169 before and you didn't sign up for that workshop, well, you 300 00:18:39,169 --> 00:18:42,589 should sign up right after that because you're going to be motivated. But otherwise, 301 00:18:43,086 --> 00:18:46,795 again, this is going to be a hands-on session for how you can actually use 302 00:18:46,795 --> 00:18:50,344 Process Modeler and widgets to help you monitor and 303 00:18:50,344 --> 00:18:53,941 improve your business processes. Awesome. And then right after 304 00:18:53,941 --> 00:18:57,713 that, or no, around the same time. So now we're just competing. We've got some 305 00:18:57,713 --> 00:19:01,239 competing Oracle sessions. So we've got the Digital Platform Product 306 00:19:01,239 --> 00:19:04,766 Updates from Engineering, which of course is kind of our roadmap for Digital 307 00:19:04,766 --> 00:19:08,100 Platform. And then you got E1 Administration 308 00:19:08,597 --> 00:19:12,348 as an Agent. So beyond just automation, but leveraging 309 00:19:12,461 --> 00:19:16,147 the MCP with AIS Server and JD Edwards Orchestrator 310 00:19:16,147 --> 00:19:19,850 to automate some of your system admin SaaS. My team will be 311 00:19:20,299 --> 00:19:23,842 putting those 2 on. And at 9:15 AM, 312 00:19:24,243 --> 00:19:27,320 we have Transforming Purchase Order Approvals at Scale: 313 00:19:27,673 --> 00:19:31,424 Brightview's Journey to a mobile-first digital approval 314 00:19:31,536 --> 00:19:35,127 process. So this is Kavitha Kumasari with Brightview 315 00:19:35,223 --> 00:19:38,878 that's presenting on that one. I'm sure many companies are using purchase 316 00:19:38,974 --> 00:19:42,533 orders and want to be able to approve them in the field on the fly. 317 00:19:42,757 --> 00:19:46,316 So this will be a good one. Oh, very cool. Thanks to 318 00:19:46,525 --> 00:19:50,195 Kavitha for coming and showing that. And then we also at the same 319 00:19:50,276 --> 00:19:54,059 time, 9:15, we've been foreshadowing Redwood and the 320 00:19:54,059 --> 00:19:57,714 changes to our UI now for several months. So we've got a session 321 00:19:57,970 --> 00:20:01,771 dedicated to what the Redwood experience is going to like, so check us 322 00:20:01,771 --> 00:20:05,480 out at 9:15. Also at 9:15, we've also 323 00:20:05,609 --> 00:20:09,221 been foreshadowing the end of 32-bit. We 324 00:20:09,221 --> 00:20:12,834 switched over from 32-bit to 64-bit with tools over 5 years 325 00:20:12,834 --> 00:20:16,431 ago, actually started 8 years ago, and now we're 326 00:20:16,592 --> 00:20:20,349 ending 32-bit on application ESUs. Come to that session 327 00:20:20,446 --> 00:20:24,251 and find out more if that is of interest or a concern for 328 00:20:24,299 --> 00:20:27,688 you. Yes, and I believe we just talked about that in a 329 00:20:28,009 --> 00:20:31,525 very recent podcast episode, so people can listen to that before they go. 330 00:20:32,087 --> 00:20:35,025 Yep. And then at 1 PM, we have the E1 331 00:20:35,298 --> 00:20:39,038 MDAC SIG meetup. That is the E1 332 00:20:39,086 --> 00:20:42,858 Manufacturing Distribution and CAM User Group meeting. Always a 333 00:20:42,858 --> 00:20:46,036 good one to attend. And at 3:30 334 00:20:46,133 --> 00:20:49,953 PM, we have Enhancing JD Edwards User Experience 335 00:20:50,001 --> 00:20:53,838 with Smart E1 Pages Using Oracle JET Orchestrations and 336 00:20:53,854 --> 00:20:57,385 REST APIs. John Giesen from, uh, 337 00:20:57,546 --> 00:21:01,172 Wepa Hygiene Product GmbH. So must be 338 00:21:01,172 --> 00:21:04,652 making a hop from somewhere. Yes, this would be Italy. 339 00:21:05,390 --> 00:21:09,159 Another paper products company for JDF, which we're very popular with 340 00:21:09,159 --> 00:21:12,944 paper companies, and especially in Italy. Matter of fact, I think Massimiliano 341 00:21:13,409 --> 00:21:17,243 will be on our docket here as well. We'll get to him when his 342 00:21:17,275 --> 00:21:20,964 session comes up. 3:30. Yeah. JDE Construction SIG. 343 00:21:21,268 --> 00:21:25,085 Pete Cotton will help lead that SIG discussion. And then also 344 00:21:25,278 --> 00:21:29,128 at 3:30 on Tuesday, I think we have our third And final 345 00:21:29,128 --> 00:21:32,146 workshop, which is Curious About JDE and AI? 346 00:21:32,836 --> 00:21:36,385 Take It for a Test Drive. Arvind from Astute Business Solutions will 347 00:21:36,385 --> 00:21:40,029 take you on a hands-on journey to test drive how you 348 00:21:40,045 --> 00:21:43,336 use AI with JDE. That should be a good one as well. So, hopefully folks 349 00:21:43,336 --> 00:21:46,933 have signed up for the workshops and get a lot of benefit 350 00:21:47,350 --> 00:21:50,770 from seeing how you use these tools. Absolutely. At 351 00:21:50,818 --> 00:21:54,222 4:45, we have the Oracle Guided Learning, or 352 00:21:54,334 --> 00:21:57,545 OGL, for JD Edwards SIG Group with Alicia McDermott. 353 00:21:57,898 --> 00:22:01,658 So excited she's making the trek all the way here from New Zealand. 354 00:22:01,963 --> 00:22:05,497 New Zealand, yes. Awesome. Again. That's amazing. I know. 355 00:22:05,915 --> 00:22:08,807 This is great. Twice in a year. Very cool. 356 00:22:09,594 --> 00:22:13,321 And then also at 4:45 on Tuesday, the 357 00:22:13,321 --> 00:22:17,080 Modern JDE Toolbox, Choosing the Right UDO for 358 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,695 the Job. Pete Cotton with Erwatt 359 00:22:20,695 --> 00:22:24,390 Rexis Services. I thought this was a good one to highlight just 360 00:22:24,390 --> 00:22:28,206 because There are so many UDOs out there and so many companies really 361 00:22:28,222 --> 00:22:31,252 haven't adopted a lot of them. So I think this will be good to give 362 00:22:31,284 --> 00:22:34,538 people some ideas to help make your system 363 00:22:35,115 --> 00:22:38,818 a little bit better. Also at 4:45, we 364 00:22:38,818 --> 00:22:41,945 have Taming the Multi-Branch Cost Rollout, 365 00:22:42,329 --> 00:22:45,920 Automating Standard Cost Updates Across Business Units. 366 00:22:46,497 --> 00:22:50,136 Uh, what did you— I'm sorry, I fell asleep there for a second. I'm 367 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,748 sorry. You love standard cost. I know it. You were a 368 00:22:53,748 --> 00:22:57,489 manufacturing developer at one point, so. Yeah, probably know a 369 00:22:57,489 --> 00:23:01,118 little bit too much about that process. So. Yes. This is— This one 370 00:23:01,118 --> 00:23:04,731 caught your eye, huh? Yeah. John Howe with Dober Group. 371 00:23:05,357 --> 00:23:08,665 And then also at 4:45, we have Heather 372 00:23:08,665 --> 00:23:12,486 Phillips of Little Rapids Corporation. 30 years 373 00:23:12,583 --> 00:23:15,521 on IBM i. Why move to OCI now? 374 00:23:16,372 --> 00:23:19,933 That's a big move, moving from the AS/400 after 375 00:23:20,045 --> 00:23:23,591 30 years to OCI. So come find out all about 376 00:23:23,591 --> 00:23:27,377 that transformation almost. That's awesome. I'll be curious to 377 00:23:27,441 --> 00:23:31,259 hear her story because obviously that's something we encourage. 378 00:23:31,708 --> 00:23:34,484 So appreciate her coming to InFocus to share her 379 00:23:35,077 --> 00:23:38,911 experience. Also at 4:45. Wow, we've picked a lot at the 380 00:23:38,911 --> 00:23:41,670 4:45 session, or on it. It's going to be a popular, you know, it's a 381 00:23:41,719 --> 00:23:45,314 popular time. Well, there's also the AI SIG 382 00:23:45,555 --> 00:23:49,296 meetup. So this is a newly launched SIG within Quest. 383 00:23:49,665 --> 00:23:52,989 So obviously AI's hot, and this is going to be 384 00:23:53,503 --> 00:23:57,340 your place to connect and share and explore the future of AI and 385 00:23:57,356 --> 00:24:00,599 JD Edwards. I think that takes us to Wednesday, 386 00:24:01,065 --> 00:24:04,645 does it not? I think you're right. Wednesday, September 30th— 387 00:24:04,677 --> 00:24:08,338 23rd. 33rd.

First with the E1 Tech SIG 401 00:24:57,083 --> 00:25:00,898 Innovation Roundtable. So talking about orchestrations, automation, 402 00:25:00,930 --> 00:25:03,686 and extensibility, as well as a 403 00:25:03,751 --> 00:25:07,533 financial SIG. Talk about needing coffee, but 404 00:25:07,581 --> 00:25:11,411 that's getting led by Chandra. Uh, yours truly. 405 00:25:11,587 --> 00:25:15,337 Yes. This is awesome. I'm sure you'll bring the energy, 406 00:25:15,753 --> 00:25:19,166 uh, first thing in the morning. And so come talk 407 00:25:19,278 --> 00:25:22,547 financials, 8:00 AM on Wednesday. Absolutely. 408 00:25:23,140 --> 00:25:26,376 But you're going to compete with Shruti because Shruti's got a 409 00:25:27,226 --> 00:25:30,911 sustainability framework session also at 8 o'clock. So if 410 00:25:30,911 --> 00:25:34,692 your company is interested, or almost every company 411 00:25:34,692 --> 00:25:38,329 right now has some sort of sustainability goals, regulation. 412 00:25:38,586 --> 00:25:42,048 And you can come to this session and find out how JD Edwards solves 413 00:25:42,674 --> 00:25:46,184 those problems. And then we move to 9:15, the 9:15 414 00:25:46,297 --> 00:25:50,032 block, and this is where Massimo Iliano, I mentioned him before from 415 00:25:50,064 --> 00:25:53,414 Lucart Group over in Italy, he's going to talk about 416 00:25:53,494 --> 00:25:57,230 AI-generated dashboard for JD Edwards and how they're using AI 417 00:25:57,678 --> 00:26:01,093 over there at Lucart to improve visibility 418 00:26:01,381 --> 00:26:05,101 to what's happening and how to optimize their operations. So looking 419 00:26:05,133 --> 00:26:08,648 forward to hearing about that. And at 9:15, we have the 420 00:26:08,728 --> 00:26:12,066 UDO SIG meetup with Shannon Allred from Brown and Root. 421 00:26:13,142 --> 00:26:16,833 Also at 9:15, we have, I think 422 00:26:16,833 --> 00:26:20,444 this is our winning name, isn't it? It is. It is our winning name, yes. 423 00:26:20,845 --> 00:26:24,681 Okay. You're still building packages manually? Oh, 424 00:26:25,018 --> 00:26:28,773 honey. This is a joint BACNC session being 425 00:26:28,805 --> 00:26:32,574 put on by Matthias Freitag From H&R Group. 426 00:26:32,798 --> 00:26:36,148 And yeah, we should also have a competition for who could 427 00:26:36,436 --> 00:26:40,186 say that title and how many different ways you could actually say it. But 428 00:26:40,186 --> 00:26:43,856 anyway, very cool. Thank you, Matthias. Looking forward to that 429 00:26:43,856 --> 00:26:47,061 session. Now we're skipping to the 11:15 block. 430 00:26:47,381 --> 00:26:51,211 110 locations, 11 languages, one standard? Really? 431 00:26:51,644 --> 00:26:55,298 Mastering JD Edwards 9.2 Continuous Adoption. 432 00:26:55,971 --> 00:26:59,664 Remco. Hi, Kurt. From Darling Ingredients, is going to talk 433 00:26:59,664 --> 00:27:03,486 about how they have come up with a method of 434 00:27:03,502 --> 00:27:07,293 basically continuous adoption as well as continuous 435 00:27:07,357 --> 00:27:11,132 rollout. So, their company is heavy into acquisitions and 436 00:27:11,308 --> 00:27:14,810 they constantly have to onboard new companies, 437 00:27:15,227 --> 00:27:18,375 and they've figured out how to not only stay current, 438 00:27:19,098 --> 00:27:22,519 but continuously onboard new companies. So, very good session. Yeah. 439 00:27:23,098 --> 00:27:26,825 Over 110 global locations with 11 440 00:27:26,970 --> 00:27:30,569 different languages. Yeah. Wow. That's complicated. 441 00:27:31,372 --> 00:27:35,068 All right. Then I think we have— Oh 442 00:27:35,325 --> 00:27:39,149 yeah. Also at 11:15. Yes. By popular demand, we are talking 443 00:27:39,181 --> 00:27:42,732 about an MCP server for Server Manager. So 444 00:27:43,021 --> 00:27:46,636 come listen to Clayton tell you all about what we're doing in that space. 445 00:27:47,118 --> 00:27:50,731 And then I wanted to highlight. At 1:30, Joe Hebner has been 446 00:27:50,731 --> 00:27:54,502 around quite a long time. He's over at Tretigar Corporation, but 447 00:27:54,582 --> 00:27:58,272 I loved his title because we've already mentioned AI however 448 00:27:58,272 --> 00:28:01,626 many times. Heck, I just mentioned the MCP server, which is an 449 00:28:01,674 --> 00:28:05,316 AI-related requirement. And here's Joe coming in 450 00:28:05,509 --> 00:28:08,959 with, you don't need AI to deliver value 451 00:28:09,199 --> 00:28:12,777 to the enterprise. So kind of being a contrarian here and reminding 452 00:28:12,810 --> 00:28:16,131 everybody that automation was possible even before 453 00:28:16,404 --> 00:28:19,693 AI. And there's a lot of ways in which you can deliver value and 454 00:28:19,950 --> 00:28:23,739 improve And modernize your experience. And you 455 00:28:23,739 --> 00:28:27,351 don't need an LLM in the picture to do it. So 456 00:28:27,496 --> 00:28:30,787 thank you, Joe, for being a contrarian. Had to call out your session. 457 00:28:31,574 --> 00:28:34,865 Love it. At 1:30 PM, we have a TechSIG 458 00:28:34,945 --> 00:28:38,269 Operations Roundtable, Infrastructure, CNC, 459 00:28:38,590 --> 00:28:41,673 Administration, and Security. Always a fun one. 460 00:28:42,347 --> 00:28:45,959 Next up we have, oh, look at that, 1:30 461 00:28:45,959 --> 00:28:49,345 PM. The JDE Connection podcast, 462 00:28:49,634 --> 00:28:53,019 live from InFocus. With Chandra Wapshaw. 463 00:28:53,404 --> 00:28:56,949 Awesome. I guess you're doing this one solo. Fantastic. No, I'm not. I 464 00:28:57,030 --> 00:29:00,367 think they did— they did not put you on there, but I am going to 465 00:29:00,383 --> 00:29:03,864 have to send them a note to say I'm not flying solo on this one. 466 00:29:03,976 --> 00:29:07,778 Hey, we know who the real draw is here. I don't know, but there might 467 00:29:07,778 --> 00:29:11,099 be something fun that also may occur in 468 00:29:11,324 --> 00:29:14,717 said podcast. Maybe, possibly. 469 00:29:15,457 --> 00:29:19,109 So I think you just want to plan on being there. That's all I 470 00:29:19,157 --> 00:29:22,891 can say, right? Yeah, that's, I think all you can say is you 471 00:29:22,891 --> 00:29:26,730 should probably plan on being there. We might actually focus on 472 00:29:26,730 --> 00:29:29,279 something that the community really cares about. 473 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,040 Wow. Wow. So grab your 474 00:29:35,250 --> 00:29:38,671 hot dish, pull up a chair, and I guess 475 00:29:38,962 --> 00:29:42,421 join us as we sort through whatever that is. Okay. Moving on. 476 00:29:43,618 --> 00:29:47,289 Moving on. We also have a couple sessions yet that they 477 00:29:47,289 --> 00:29:50,864 haven't finalized time on. One is the Real Estate User Group meeting. 478 00:29:51,296 --> 00:29:54,903 That's an important one. And then— Orchestrator product 479 00:29:54,903 --> 00:29:58,734 updates from engineering. So obviously this is one of the most 480 00:29:58,751 --> 00:30:02,453 popular sessions that we have. Everybody comes and wants to understand what's going on with 481 00:30:02,453 --> 00:30:05,996 Orchestrator and what's next. We just haven't figured out when to slot that. 482 00:30:06,124 --> 00:30:09,795 There's just too much demand on some of our presenters and 483 00:30:09,875 --> 00:30:13,386 it's hard sometimes to figure that out. So some of this is still fluid. So 484 00:30:13,578 --> 00:30:17,157 by all means, check your app out when get to in Focus and 485 00:30:17,205 --> 00:30:21,012 see when those sessions are. And then finally, we gave a plug for this, 486 00:30:21,125 --> 00:30:24,723 right? We had an episode earlier talking about this 487 00:30:24,723 --> 00:30:28,321 and you graduated. Alumni. You're an alumni. Yes. As 488 00:30:28,417 --> 00:30:31,967 my program leader. Past participant. Yeah. Past participant and alumni 489 00:30:32,352 --> 00:30:36,159 and whatnot. So why don't you talk about this one? Yeah. John Vaughn will do 490 00:30:36,368 --> 00:30:40,207 an informational session on the Quest Emerging Leaders 491 00:30:40,303 --> 00:30:43,854 Program. So he'll be talking about the program that 492 00:30:43,854 --> 00:30:47,453 probably would kick off in 2027 as the one that kicks 493 00:30:47,453 --> 00:30:50,923 off at, well, it is actually kicking off kind of as we speak for 494 00:30:50,923 --> 00:30:54,152 2026. So if you're looking to maybe 495 00:30:54,602 --> 00:30:58,137 help hone some skills within your organizational leadership 496 00:30:58,137 --> 00:31:01,816 drawer, this is a great program. And obviously 497 00:31:01,848 --> 00:31:05,575 come learn more about the program from John. It's a 498 00:31:05,849 --> 00:31:09,618 9-month intensive, but somewhat flexible because it's not all in 499 00:31:09,618 --> 00:31:13,127 person. And it'll just help you with mastering some 500 00:31:13,463 --> 00:31:17,309 core leadership competencies. So. Yeah. I mean, 501 00:31:17,325 --> 00:31:20,673 if you're interested in this and this is the first time you're hearing about it, 502 00:31:20,689 --> 00:31:24,422 I'd strongly encourage you to go back and listen to our episode 503 00:31:24,454 --> 00:31:28,123 with Ken Pennington on this. They do such a great job with this 504 00:31:28,139 --> 00:31:31,872 program. They really do. Yeah. It's an amazing program and 505 00:31:32,048 --> 00:31:35,525 one I would definitely advocate for my staff as well as maybe 506 00:31:35,525 --> 00:31:39,101 myself. So anyway. And that episode is 507 00:31:39,101 --> 00:31:42,939 actually episode 110. We covered the ELP with Ken Pittington in 508 00:31:43,051 --> 00:31:46,761 episode 110. All right. I mean, that pretty much covers 509 00:31:46,761 --> 00:31:50,583 everything that we at least had tagged. If we didn't highlight your session, well, 510 00:31:50,664 --> 00:31:54,502 come up to us at InFocus and log your complaint. Complaint. 511 00:31:54,630 --> 00:31:58,372 Your official complaint. We apologize. And then we'll instruct you on how to 512 00:31:58,372 --> 00:32:01,761 use ChatGPT to come up with a better title next time. I'm just kidding. 513 00:32:02,194 --> 00:32:04,491 Totally joking. Or generate a better abstract. I'm 514 00:32:04,491 --> 00:32:07,765 just Just kidding. No, but it is kind of funny to see all the em 515 00:32:07,781 --> 00:32:11,570 dashes that are suddenly showing up, but we'll move on. I know those are 516 00:32:11,570 --> 00:32:15,310 your favorite. Yeah, I appreciate it. But yeah, truly, if we didn't highlight your 517 00:32:15,310 --> 00:32:18,841 session, we apologize. We try to just do a subset. We can't 518 00:32:19,002 --> 00:32:22,469 obviously take the time to go through every single session that's out there. 519 00:32:22,870 --> 00:32:26,690 Many are very, very interesting, we know. And apologies if we didn't 520 00:32:26,771 --> 00:32:30,591 highlight you this time. And as Paul said earlier, make sure 521 00:32:30,655 --> 00:32:34,203 to check your InFocus app. As sessions can 522 00:32:34,332 --> 00:32:37,430 change. Oh yeah, whatever time and date we have listed here 523 00:32:38,185 --> 00:32:41,910 could change. So definitely make sure you are checking your app 524 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,229 for the most accurate schedule. Yep. All right, 525 00:32:46,856 --> 00:32:50,308 until next time, let's keep learning, sharing, and most 526 00:32:50,308 --> 00:32:53,583 importantly, laughing together. Toodles! 527 00:32:54,097 --> 00:32:57,758 See ya!
