Wow – great lineup. All the best for Live Futures 2020 – I’m going to be at a computer, but I don’t know if my Beijing web connection will be up to it!
Sounds like a really interesting afternoon. I will try to make it but have football game.
Looking forward to visiting my home :)
Will be there somehow…
