So we're at the end of the conference programming. Thank you for being with us for the last three days.

Here's what I hope. How many people here had a worthwhile, great time over the last three days?

For those of you who have been here before, I've typically measured success in two axes. One is: did I learn a lot of interesting things that are important? And the second one is: did I meet a lot of amazing people that I can't wait to work with more? So, high learning, high networking. By a round of applause, how many people had both high learning and high networking?

I'll just give you some words that I've used to describe how I feel at the end of these events: exhilaration from hanging out with the best in the game; reconnecting with friends and people I admire; being a part of a community with shared goals who all love sharing and helping others succeed; usually walking away with a lot of things to read and links that I need to follow up on; the new potential of new collaborations with new people I've met; and excited to be learning something that's genuinely important. In this crazy world where things have changed so quickly with AI, that has never mattered more than ever.

Thank you to all the speakers who made these last three days possible. And the speakers come from the selection of the program committee, so I want to thank all of you who are part of this amazing group of technology leaders who helped create the programming today.

And of course, thank you to the entire IT Revolution team. And of course my boss and wife, Margaret Kim; Beth, Brighton and Perry; Alex; Aaron; Marjorie; Anna; Oak; and Lucy. And of course my buddy and MC, Jeff. So Jeff, take us out.

Roger that.

All right. We are almost done with the Enterprise Technology Leadership Summit 2025. Just a few more things to share with you before we hop into the planes, trains, and automobiles that are going to take us to where we're going next.

One more thank you to IT Revolution for giving us this opportunity to get this community back together again. It matters so much. We love the time that we get to spend together connecting and sharing and learning.

And a big thank you to our premier sponsor, Sourcegraph, and Salesforce, and all of our other sponsors for being such an important part of our summit experience over the last three days and our journey beyond these walls.

Many of you have been asking when the videos are going to be posted for the talks for these three days. The answer to that is soon. Soon. They're working their way through the pipeline right now. We've got day one and parts of day two that are almost ready to be published, so pay attention to the video library. We're going to have all of the talks for this summit being published there, along with all of the talks from all of the other summits, all the way back to 2014, that are already published there. Those should be happening very, very shortly.

Same with the slides. The slides are also available for download for each of the talks for which they are available. Just go to the talk that you want, and the slides should be attached there if they're available.

The reason that we share the videos and the slides is because we want you to share those with others and the people that you work with. We want you to share the videos. We want you to share the slides. We want you to share the sponsor swag and prizes. Most of all, we want you to share your learnings and your stories with the people that you work with.

And you know what I'm going to say next here. We love you for your session feedback too. So please: sharing is caring, and feedback is a gift.

Over the last three days, we have been talking a lot about community. And that's what this is. It's a community that matters a lot to me because of the support and the encouragement and the inspiration and the learning and the challenge and the connection. And maybe most importantly, to let me know I'm not completely crazy when I go back to my day job.

After talking with so many of you, I know that this community matters so much to so many. So who would like to keep this community going and getting us back together again?

We're going to try a little bit of an experiment. We don't have to stop now. We can't stay in the ballroom, but we don't have to go home. We're going to self-organize out in the lobby. For those of you that have some time and still have some energy to continue the conversations, we're going to self-organize and figure out what we're going to do from there.

And we are working on how to get the community back together again in a really meaningful way later. We're still working on what that's going to look like, so stay tuned for more information about that.

And with that, stay safe. Be well. We'll see you all again soon. Take care, everybody.
