All right. First off, thank you.

Here at the end of the two days, my genuine most fondest hope is on the next slide. I'm hoping the days were, one, high learning — meaning learning things that you think are generally useful and valuable and relevant. Two is high network, meaning you got a chance to feel that you were hanging out with the best in the game. And check for that last talk — how can you not feel that? And then high impact, meaning that it's actually relevant and important and maybe even time-urgent, as someone was saying, like, "Some decisions are being made above me, and I need to come up with some answers today."

So how many people, by a round of applause, felt that you had high learning, high network, high impact?

Okay. Fantastic. Then we have done our jobs.

So you might be asking about talks. All of the talks will be on the next slide — which will be in the video library, at the very least. So they will be eventually showing up on videos.itrevolution.com. Expect it soon. Days, not weeks. We've been working behind the scenes to actually get these — we're trying to get some posted today. So it'll be coming soon. Next slide.

And so there's going to be mechanisms for you to share those with your colleagues, right? It's like you'll be coming back and you'll be telling your colleagues, "I heard this, I heard that," and they're like, "You're crazy. You made that all up." So you're going to have some evidence to prove that people actually said these crazy things. That Kent Beck saying "nobody knows" — very surprising, startling, also soothing. Next slide.

We'll be asking for your feedback on speakers, so that'll be fantastic.

And then I want to thank everyone who helped make this happen. So on the next slide, I want to thank all the sponsors: GitLab, Coder, Kilo, Lucid, Sourcegraph, Zult. They're all fantastic. Huge round of applause for them. Next slide.

So we will see you soon. Stay tuned for another edition of the Enterprise AI Summit. East Coast? Fall? Summer? You tell us. So you'll be getting a survey literally within minutes — we'll be asking for your feedback, and you tell us on what tempo, and do you want to engage this community more? Where, when, how often?

And so again, I just want to call out a couple of people here. In the previous slide — I need the notes — the whole notion was: could we wait a year to do this conference? We just laughed. September? No one will even have code anymore in September. It's got to be something before then. And so Margriet, Ben Grunel, Jeff Gothelf — we put on spreadsheets what would it take to do events more frequently, make them smaller, and then potentially accommodate a cadence that's actually not annual, but potentially quarterly or whatever. You tell us.

And so that put into motion a whole series of events, and we announced this conference basically nine weeks ago. And some of you registered with no agenda, which is a hell of a leap of faith — but I'm so glad that you did, and I hope it was all worthwhile.

So thank you for coming to this, and look out for that survey.

All right, now on the next slide. So the help I'm looking for — I asked every speaker to say what help are they looking for. Here's the help I'm looking for: if you had a great time, share your experience on LinkedIn, Twitter, your newsletter. Come to a future event. Bring a friend. If you can't make it, have them bring two friends. And wherever that might be, whenever it might be, see you then. Thank you.
