So we are less than 60 days from the MPG - the largest and longest running pen makers symposium. As you know last year we cleared 300 attendees. This year we are even bigger and looking to grow. More rooms. More demos. More vendors. We are already at 220 - last year we did not hit 200 until March 1.
